Around the Sun Is Awesome

May 3rd, 2008

I’m blushing.

Contributing writer Rick Turoczy at Portland is Awesome recently featured Around the Sun in his series “Awesome Portland Blogs.” Here’s a snippet of his kind words:

Every week, I find this blog chock full of interesting stuff in Portland, for which I have to spend nada, zilch, zero.

If taking a look at Around the Sun doesn’t give you some good ideas for something to do, I’ll give you your money back.

That’s right. It’s that good. 

I will tell you, I am thrilled and awed every time someone says something nice about Around the Sun. Truly, it means a lot. And I am particularly flattered this time because I think so highly of the contribution that Rick Turoczy is making with his own blog Silicon Florist.

Silicon Florist reports on the new and fresh young things of the tech community in Portland: startups, projects, events, ideas. Someday, one of these sprouts may grow up to be Portland’s next big contribution to the technology industry, and that makes reading Silicon Florist so exciting to me.

Now, moonlighting over at Portland is Awesome, Rick is throwing a spotlight on great Portland blogs. And, of course, I think his taste is impeccable. :)

Portland is Awesome is a relatively new blog about Portland and looks destined to be as awesome as its opinion of our city. PIA is a community blog, so if you want to share something worthwhile about Portland, contact founder Dawn Foster.

Many thanks to Mr. Turoczy and Portland is Awesome for the great review. The feeling is mutual.

    Or “know” about it, even. If you catch my drift. ;)
