Timbercon Named 17th in Growth for Technology Companies in Oregon

“From 2005 through 2007 we experienced 63% growth and have continued to grow in 2008. We have added another ten people in 2008 and continue to recruit sales, engineering, and production management talents. The continued growth is exciting and our recent and upcoming product innovations will continue to push our company to the next level.” says Eric Meslow, President and CEO. Most recently Timbercon released their new XFP Electric Loopback that is commonly used in the testing of network and data storage equipment.

Portland should get its gateway

Planning geeks like to crow about Portland becoming America's "most European" city. We sure hope that's not Paris they see in our future. We're not that taken with the idea of a high couture core surrounded by slums.

As more and more people -- more and more of whom happen to be wealthy -- crowd toward close-in living, Portland risks driving deepening pools of its poor to the urban fringe. Welfare checks might displace desperate housewives as the signature suburban species.
