A little cross-pollination: over on Hack Bend I’m going to be posting a Holiday Shopping Guide, and I want to make it collaborative as well as listing my own opinions on where to shop for the holidays.
So if you live in Central Oregon and have any recommendations or want a piece of the action, let me know, or comment on my Hack Bend post.
Cheers!
I had hinted a while back about a new project I was starting, and I think it’s time to launch and announce it. It’s a new blog called Hack Bend, and it’s purpose is to be an insider’s guide to Bend and Central Oregon. (In fact, the tagline I have on it right now is “Getting the most out of Bend and Central Oregon.” Original, no?)
There’s always a bit of trepidation in announcing something like this, but I’m excited about it. I’ve got a bunch of ideas and things to write about already, but as I wrote on the About page, “obviously, I can’t claim to have all the answers or know everything there is to know about the area.” One of the things I’m considering is opening it up to multiple authors, making it a group blog—but that would be down the road sometime. In the meantime, anyone who has any hints, advice, stories, or hacks about the area, please let me know! I’d like to make this a definitive website about Bend, and the more contributions I get, the more likely that’ll happen.
So pop on over and check things out, subscribe to the RSS feed, and become a regular contributor. And let me know what you think!
