Citywide Accessibility Tool Launched

by where's lulu

The new Portland-only web site Where's Lulu is a free, online database where Portlanders can rate and review places and services (mostly businesses) based on their accessibility. Example: Are the curb cuts next to the bus stop in front of a Stumptown Coffee Roasters wheelchair-friendly? A search tool allows for filtering using criteria such as whether nearby public transit options exist. Coming up: The ability to upload photos depicting accessibility or inaccessibility of businesses. We founded the site to provide info making it easier for disabled people to get from point A to point B, as well as to establish higher standards of accessibility for businesses and public places in general. The local disabled community is already on board, with users voicing opinions on everything from just how close a Mac Store is to the MAX line, to the wheelchair maneuverability between aisles at swank Southeast eatery Noble Rot. To join Where's Lulu for free, or to learn more, visit http

We're back...

by shooter

It didn't have anything to do with the Neighborhood Notes website, one of our office computers crashed. All the data was recovered, nothing was lost except for the time to figure out what happened, reinstall the operating system, and then restore the data. Unfortunately, this took most of the day.

When something like this happens it is a good reality check about back up. If you don't do it regularly, you should. Your life will be much easier when your computer crashes—and it will. I've been through it a few times. Sometimes it's not so bad, like today, where nothing was lost and everything was restored. Other times you lose important data.

Those are the worst.

If you don't have a back up plan, make one. On a Mac with Leopard, you can use Time Machine to automatically schedule backups. I'm sure there are more than enough applications on Windows to do something very similar. Hard drives are cheap, important data is priceless.

Fashion Rocks OTCT

by souk

Old Town groovy quotient rising. Thanks eROI for a great party on Friday night. Creatives and techies of Old Town descended upon eroi's new digs for a kinda fashion dance party (some of us shaking our booties more than others). Not on the list this time around? Just go over to their new offices above Compound Gallery and hound them a bit until you're added to play in '09. You can tell them souk sent you. Ha! We'd love to see more of sartorial stumptown coming out next year.
