Cube Space is in Trouble!

The website is http://savecubespacepdx.com. It's a simple site, so I'm using this blog post for conversations about the letter to the judge. So far I have:

Dear Judge,
We, the undersigned, beseech you to consider what evicting CubeSpace would mean to the community. We didn't know of their plight until they posted a letter: http://cubespacepdx.com/node/2012. We quickly rallied, and on Friday May 22, 2009 alone, we raised over $2000. Given time, we will raise more.

In these uncertain economic times, we would hope that USBank would be more understanding towards a company that does so much for its community. They support non-profits big and small, either financially to the likes of OPB or by donating space to the likes of MotiveSpace. For we, the tech community, they have given us a space to incubate ideas and projects of all kinds. There are Mozilla Firefox developers, various local programming gurus, and they have even incubated a small knitters group.

Thanks, The undersigned.

Once this is finalized, we'll post it on http://savecubespacepdx.com and we can sign it.

When Twitter Isn't Enough, Start a Blog

I've had false starts on numerous blogs: self coded blogs, the now defunct Geocities, random places with random articles, and now Blogger. So what happened? Why didn't they succeed? And by succeed I mean actually posting more than a couple of articles.

I joined the Twitter bandwagon (before Oprah and Kutcher thank you very much), and have been pretty prolific with my tweets. Recently, I've found that 140 characters doesn't seem enough anymore. Is this all I needed to have a productive blog? Practice? With Twitter?

Apparently.

Thanks Twitter. I think.
