KUBO and the Two Strings Movie Review
Last month I traveled to Los Angeles for LAIKA's new animated film KUBO and the Two Strings' press junket. I was doubly excited to see this film as LAIKA is located right down the street in my own town outside of Portland, Oregon! I have adored their previous films like ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Coraline. LAIKA itself is an amazing animation studio that creates, edits, slices, dices, synthesizes, and vaporizes (this is from Oregon, right?) all its stuff through its own amazing visual ... continue reading...

3 Non-Traditional Ways to Foster Team Building
More and more research is showing that by developing psychological safety within the workplace, the more productive and impactful your team will be. Recent research by Google, in fact, suggests that this sense of safety and comfort in a team is more important than the skills that each member bring to the table. Yet, very few workplaces invest the time and resources needed to ensure that teams are able to bond outside of the office. Often companies aren't sure how to go about developing the sort ... continue reading...
ZTE Mobley
Thanks to AT&T for allowing me to review the ZTE Mobley.As you may know, I do a lot of traveling, and during the weekends, we are always traveling to somewhere, back from somewhere, or just on the go.

As much as I wish that it could be, my phone is not the answer, despite how awesome it is. I need to be able to get onto my laptop whenever needed. I needed to ... continue reading...
Comcast is a Portland Community Partner

This is when schools really need active, committed community partners. Did you know that ... continue reading...
