I mean, who could forget [his voyage to the depths of the Pittock Block to explore the major Internet hub that lies beneath Portland, Oregon](https://cabel.com/2012/12/19/the-basement/)? Not me. That’s who. So imagine my excitement when I found out that [Cabel was geeking out about DAK Catalog](<http://In a position to be able to invest in startups?
