I was watching Survivor on our local Portland CBS affiliate last night when I spotted what looked like a Mac/PC ad from Apple.  Instead, Greg Macpherson, running for Oregon Attorney General, used the Apple ads as a template for his political ad.  Pretty funny.

What are your thoughts…it is smart or a cheap rip-off?

Last night, my buddy Kevin and I attended Ignite Portland.  Ignite is a presentation event that has an innovative way of pitching an idea or message.  Presenters get 5 minutes and prepare 20 slides and get 15 seconds per slide.  The PowerPoint is set on a timer so if you don’t finish your slide, you lose out.

The topics range from how to pitch idea to a VC to unwilding (just look it up).   I have to say that the presenters were way more memorable than their messages.  Everyone did a fantastic job.

The event was held in downtown PDX at Weiden+Kennedy, just about the coolest facility we could have held this thing.  Great job to Josh, Raven, and Dawn - you guys were awesome.

It was great to meet some twitter peeps that I’ve met over the last few months including @verso and @ahockley.
