i heart media: Miss Me? Monday 3/2/09

Because I wouldn't want you to miss anything, for your convenience I'm rounding up the links to what I've been up to around the Web:

OurPDX
My friend Angel owns Ladybug cafe in my neighborhood, St. Johns. I may have mentioned it a few bajillion times on twitter, you know, if you keep track of those sort of things. (Is that creepy? I'm not sure. Probably.)

Angel has hung her incredible coffee-centric photos on her cafe's walls (see her Flickr set) and her reception Encrusted was on Sunday. I wrote about it here, on OurPDX, a blog I love dearly. And I'm not just saying that because of lack-of-post guilt, either. Nuh-uh, no ma'am.

Beer and Blog
As you all know I take my Portland Chapter Beer and Blog Provost duties quite seriously, so naturally when I wrote about the cool stuff we're going to do this month I managed to misspell a word in the title of the calagator.org event listing and write "peak" instead of "pique". I am a moron.

Thanks to @pdxflaneur for keeping my heinous crimes against literature on the down-low by pointing this out to me in a private message on Twitter, and well now GOSH here I am, revealing to unknown numbers of grammar finger-shakers on the Internet.

Oh, screw it.

Long Lunch PDX
Over on the Long Lunch PDX blog I wrote 1,000 + "let me lay it out for you people" words about Twitter. I've written about Twitter before (on this blog) but this time I worked in a letter from my favorite coffee people: Wes and Chris of espressoarts.com, a coffee catering company. Chris sent me an email about the same time I was toiling away on my post. It was related, so in it went. It feels a bit long by Internet-attention-span standards, but clear about the purpose of Twitter. Please go check it out and tell me what you think.

By the way, this is a new thing I'm trying on the Long Lunch PDX blog: Quick Question About. The segment title? Meh. Not exactly in love. But I do want to answer some questions about using social media in real life, so send them my way via a comment on this blog. (Really, any of the blogs. Why do I have so many damned blogs??)

I Heart Media - Vox
Check out Röyksopp in "Happy Up Here" which is from their newest album. It's all Space Invaders and electronic pop goodness, if you're in the mood for such giddiness. You may know these boys from Norway as "that band that does that song, with the video of the dog, um, in space."

Oh, Röyksopp. Sigh. I have such a thing for Scandinavian bands. (What am I, 12?)
