Jeff the Great Names State Run Media

Jeremiah and I have launched our latest project....its called ThePortlander. The idea is to be a news web site for Portland, by Portlanders. We don't claim to be journalists or professionals, and that's the point. Just simple accounts of the news you care about. No Masters degree's, no overpaid editors. Just user generated news.

We invite anyone to contribute and you can do so in two ways. First option is to submit the news to us and we'll put it into a story and publish it ASAP. The other option is to join us as a regular contributing team member. We'll give you a username/password and you can write stories whenever you'd like. To support the second opportunity, we'll be rolling out a revenue sharing program that will pay you a substantial share of the money earned from ads on your stories.

Come check us out and add the site or certain sections to your RSS reader. The site is also iPhone friendly (including the "submit the news" form). We look forward to seeing you at ThePortlander!

Jeff the Great is Switching Gears!

Just a quick post to let you know that I am gonna switch gears a bit with this blog.

I started out with the idea of b!tching and complaining about businesses I deal with, and specifically their customer service.

I've had fun writing about other topics here, and on my other blog www.pdxcompanies.com. So instead of walking away from my original blog, I think I start to use this a little more informally. A little closer to what blogs were invented for, I guess. A Web Log.

Thanks for being a reader and please come back! Also, check out my other blog at www.pdxcompanies.com where I profile Portland Oregon area employers that you may not of known about before.

Jeff the Great Starts New Blog!

Wanted to let you all know about a new blog I have started: http://pdxcompanies.blogspot.com/. It is part of a little project I am working on to let job seekers in the Portland area know that there are some great places to work that aren't named "Nike" or "Intel."

Check it out using the Blogger address above or visit through http://www.pdxcompanies.com/.

Jeff the Great saves the world!

I've been running around this crazy world I rule with little time to blog lately. I actually have so many post idea's I don't know which to pick! I've been thinking a lot about how history will view the united states. I think about how the Roman Empire was once such a dominate civilization and I am sure there was a time when it's people thought they would never fall from grace.

So I wonder. Is the USA as untouchable as we think it is? I personally think it's the greatest country on earth and I am proud to be part of it. But will we last? a couple hundred years is really nothing in the grand scheme of human civilization. Not to mention that our world dominance is only a mere 100 years old. This doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence.

To make matters worse we have the lowest common denominator running this land, and most of the folk vying to be our next president don't offer me much hope. During one of the debates this week, I heard a candidate mention "our interests in Israel" and the rest of the middle east. I guess I just worry that all these 'interests' beyond our borders could lead to our demise.

Let's hope history is kind to this young, cocky nation.
