It’s Thursday, kids. So park your fannie in front of your machine and revel in yet another thrilling episode of [memePDX](http://twitter.com/memepdx "memePDX"). Or put it on your little mobile device thingee. Whatever. Either way.

This week, [Cami Kaos](http://twitter.com/camikaos "Cami Kaos") and I discuss a whole [boatload of Portland techie award opportunities](http://siliconflorist.com/2010/04/12/reward-oen-tom-holce-entrepreneurship-award-some-webvisions-webvisionary-awards-accepting-nominations/ "Reward yourself"), [Urban Airship powers Interscope Records push notifications](http://siliconflorist.com/2010/04/09/eleven-urban-airship-powers-interscope-push-notifications-rock-show-brings-concert-posters-ipad/ "Urban Airship powers Interscope Records push"), the [PDX Open Source GIS Unconference](http://opensourcebridge.org/blog/2010/04/pdxosgiscon2010/ "PDX Open Source GIS Unconference"), [Twitter for the iPhone](http://blog.twitter.com/2010/04/twitter-for-iphone.html "Twitter for the iPhone"), and the new [Twitter “sponsored tweets”](http://blog.twitter.com/2010/04/hello-world.html "Twitter sponsored tweets offering") idea.
