• Art Source Portland. "Your quarterly guide to art galleries throughout Portland, Oregon. While Portland's east side will always celebrate First Friday, and we are proud of our loyal crowds of art fans, many galleries outside the area have requested spots in our publication to announce their artists and exhibitions. Therefore, we are opening our pages to both sides of the river. It's time to break down the barriers and celebrate the riches of our citywide art gallery scene."
• Back Fence PDX: Portland Storytelling.  "BACK FENCE PDX: Portland Storytelling is the kissing cousin to San Francisco’s Porchlight Storytelling Series and pays great homage to New York’s THE MOTH, the grandaddy of live storytelling. We feel fortunate to be able to present an evening of six local and national storytellers performing their true, unmemorized 8 to 12-minute stories based on the month’s theme to packed audiences at the Mission Theater. The vast majority of the stories have not been told publicly prior to their Back Fence PDX telling—sometimes they haven’t even been told to significant others prior to the event."

• Beer & Blog.  "Beer and Blog is about bloggers helping bloggers over beers. It is a meet up that takes place every Friday from 4pm until at least 6pm at the Green Dragon in Portland, OR. It started as a means to swap information among peers in the Portland tech scene. Now it has grown into a weekly happy hour for Portland area bloggers. Sometimes we work. Sometimes we discuss. Sometimes we go on a field trip. But we mostly play and celebrate the transition from the work week to the week end. It’s the kind of place that is fun to network in, kindle ideas into side projects, and announce a release." 
• Bervana.  "This blog carries on a tradition of writing about beer that started in 1997 when I was writing for the Portland weekly Willamette Week--when craft brewing was new and interesting enough to support a regular columnist. Ah, the good old days! I also wrote a regular column for the Celebrator Beer News--which still supports many regular columnists, though not in the full salary kind of way. (Depending on your habits, a column for the Celebrator might keep you in beer through the month.) My paid beer writing lapsed around the new millennium, but not, of course, my pub-going, beer drinking, or homebrewing."

• Cleo & Bea. "Hi. We’re cleeo and bea, a baby and kid product review blog. As mamas with small children we understand the importance of research and reviews when it comes to buying for our wee ones. Our goal is to provide useful information and honest reviews of kids’ products that our families and friends have used. We search for high-quality products manufactured by companies and artists who use non-toxic, child safe materials and who share our earth-friendly philosophy. We find cool products, too, things you might not see everyday and enjoy passing them on to you."
• Communist Robot.  "Communist Robot is a site designed to organize and present information on robots and other up-coming technologies that will likely have significant ramifications on the future of society. It has daily robot news, the world's largest humanoid robot database, and revolutionary articles pertaining to the up-coming Robot, Space, and Fusion Revolution.
  
  As this site is relatively new, features are still being added on an almost daily basis. The Robot News Blog on the main page has recently become user submittable, so anyone with interesting robot related information is encouraged to post at will. We are currently working on making the Robot Database user submittable as well and intend to one day add a user submittable video game review section. In time the news blog on the main page will expand to include more than just robot news, eventually including other topics such as Gadgets, Entertainment, and User Blogs, all of which will be completely user submittable.
  
  User submittability is an important aspect of this site as it is designed to be a community resource and a place for roboticists and futurists to collaborate in an effort to create the future of our dreams."

• EtherBomb.  "Etherbomb is an audio blog! magazine, or whatever you call these things. It was created by me, Eric (Richard Swelling) Baldoni, in order to pollute the already grossly overpopulated world of music dribble, with more opinionated dribble. If you have music you want reviewed this probably isn’t the place to look. We review things that we actively seek out, or is sent to us via reliable sources, however feel free to drop a link and we will take a look if we have time."
• Food Carts Portland.  "This site is an ode to Portland’s food carts, and a practical guide on where to find them and what to eat once you get there. It contains a listing of carts, a map, a search feature, and categories by cuisine types and specific locations. It also contains photos and menus if we can get them. We tend to write in the positive about these carts, although we will always be honest in my findings. Restated, this isn’t a “review” site. We would rather our readers make up their own minds as to what they like and don’t like, and don’t really think it is fair to really put a $5- 7 dollar meal at a small independently owned local business under a microscope like that. Thus, you won’t see star ratings here or too many harsh judgments like you might see on some other food sites."

• Inspired2cook.  "I love to cook…period. Actually, it’s more than that. I have a passion for blessing family and friends with good, homemade, soul-satisfying food. Whether I’m entertaining friends, preparing a simple dinner for my family, baking a birthday cake for a loved one, or making a meal for a family in need…I love it all! I’ve been surrounded by good food my whole life. My mom and aunts are good cooks and so I inherited not only the appreciation for a good, home-cooked meal but the desire to be the one in the kitchen doing the cooking. I started cooking as a teenager but it wasn’t until I chose the life of a stay-at-home mom that cooking became my main creative outlet."

• It's Pub Night.  "A few years ago I noticed that my friends and I spend a lot of time talking, theorizing, and plotting about beer.  Oh yeah, and drinking beer in one of the greatest beer scenes the world has ever known -- Portland, Oregon.
  
  Meanwhile, a great friend from my years in Austin, Texas had started an entertaining beer blog called I Love Beer.  In 2007 Lee published some emails of mine about Oregon beer on I Love Beer.  It gave me the idea to start my own blog, named after the ritual weekly phone call or email rounding up friends for a night out: "Hey, it's pub night!".
  
  I don't claim to be the most knowledgeable or most refined beer fanatic in the world.  But I'm lucky to be in the thick of it here in Portland, and I want to share some of the fun with you."

• Portland City Art.  "Portland City Art was started by a couple of miscreants who share a common goal: to make fun of people in Portland that take themselves seriously. Having participated in various capacities in Portland’s art scene, we have insider knowledge about the people and places involved.
  
  All art scenes are crap by definition, but what makes Portland’s scene special is how its’ cast of characters are so totally full of shit you kind of start to wonder, are they really full of shit? Well, yes and no. Some of them are… no, most of them are. Some of them are just ignorant. Then there’s us. Some of us are still on the inside, undercover, getting you the latest dirt and screwing with everyone involved. Some of us have been kicked out, exiled, and want to share out experiences. Others of us are just bat-shit crazy and love to talk shit, hence the Portland art scene hates us. It hates anyone that forces it to take a long, hard look at itself. It hates the truth."
