# memePDX: An old school text edition of the show for your Kindle or something

Well, it’s Thursday again. But unfortunately, due to scheduling and health, [memePDX](http://twitter.com/memepdx "memePDX on Twitter") didn’t make it into the can this week. These things happen. The world is an imperfect place. Screws fall out all of the time.

But there, there, little camper. We’ve still got something for you. You see, we still did show prep. So we’ve got the stories. And that’s why I’m going to give you what Cami Kaos (@camikaos) and I (@turoczy) would have covered this week if we’d had a show.

Let’s get to it.

Hi and welcome to memePDX where we cover the hottest tech stories in Portland… and beyond.

### Portland

- [WebVisions is next week](http://webvisionsevent.com "WebVisions")
- [AboutUs launches AboutUs.com](http://blog.aboutus.org/2010/05/11/we%E2%80%99ve-launched-a-new-site-aboutus-com/ "We've launched a new site AboutUs.com")
- [Beer and Blog with the Timbers on Thursday and Involver on Friday](http://siliconflorist.com/2010/05/10/writing-beer-blog-early-week-big-hint-big/ "When I’m writing about Beer and Blog this early in the week, it must be big")
- [OurPDX relaunches with Robert Wagner of pdx.fm at the helm](http://ourpdx.com/2010/05/lets-put-this-hiatus-on-hiatus/ "Let's put this hiatus on hiatus")

### Beyond

- With apologies to Bob Marley who probably would rock Facebook. [Exodus. Movement of jah people. From Facebook. Over privacy](http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/more_web_industry_leaders_quit_facebook_call_for_o.php "More Web industry leaders quit Facebook").
- [Maybe a more privacy oriented version of Facebook like Diaspora would work](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/12/nyregion/12about.html "Diaspora"). And maybe there’s a [lewd code joke on that blackboard](http://www.geekosystem.com/dirty-unix-joke-nyt-facebook-nyu/) that has since been cropped.
- [Google and Verizon said to be teaming on an iPad-like device](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704250104575238680540806288.html "Google and Verizon building an iPad")
