  • Prince: A Suburban Kid’s Perspective

    Learning of the passing of Prince this week brought up memories of my childhood growing up in a decidedly blue-collar suburban area just outside of Portland back in the 90’s. In those days that I was surrounded still by bigots and racists that were growing angrier by the day as they watched their ideals challenged…

  • Disney World: Walt would be pissed

    I had the opportunity to spend the day at Disney World today at the Magic Kingdom. My experience at Disney World today undoubtedly would have Walt himself rolling in his grave. Overall, we were disappointed in the details of our experience. That’s not to say it was a completely bad experience. It wasn’t, not really.…

  • Innovations to watch: Rapid Packing Container

    One of the things I love about the Internet is the way that it has revolutionized our ability to innovate. Case in point:   Wow. Just wow. I would like to see this product mature into a game changer. I like the overall concept here for a few reasons – first, these two are college…

  • The Ever Changing Security Quilt

  • Un-social your Network

    Welcome everyone to Facebook Anonymous. I’d like to welcome our newest member: Me. It can happen to any information junkie. One day, it’s a fun thing to do. The next, it’s a full on addiction. What am I speaking of? Facebook, of course. I dove deep into Facebook. Too deep, perhaps. Over the past few…

  • Martin Luther King Jr.

    Growing up the way I did, I’m unfamiliar with the world as it was back in the days that Martin Luther King Jr. was alive. His dream of a “Color Blind” nation is as much of a reality to me as anything. I pause to reflect today on the progress that has been made in…

  • Welcome to GregMoorePDX.com

    It’s not every day that people start their own website. Okay, it is. In fact, people are starting their own websites at an alarming rate. Frankly, I’m not sure where there is merit in this practice. Is anyone reading it? Is anyone reading this? Time will tell. What is the purpose of this site? Brain…
