Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area!

• I’m staying local this week, which is a bit of a relief, after several weeks of airplanes and hotel rooms.
• It looks as though portigal.com was moved to its new host without significant downtime for the website or our email. Phew! There’s some weird formatting things we keep finding on older blog posts, and I’m sure various other gremlins will crop up so if you see something, say something!
• Out on the town this week, I’m looking forward to Kim Erwin’s presentation about Communicating the New, her new book (where I’m one of a diverse group of interviewees).
• Ten years gone: From October 2003 – Knee Defender, Brand Names for Kids.
• What we’re consuming: Cinematic Titanic, Mori Point, Margaret.
