RailsConf 2008 Recap
We just left Portland today on our continuing Summer of Love trip. You wont find much about Portland from me though. Our stop in Portland for me was a visit to RailsConf 2008. Tammy did post about her thoughts on Portland. It was totally awesome that our good friends, the Tangen’s were able to come [...]

We also went through routes and [...]

I was a little surprised by how many people there were in the [...]
