Our newest writer started tonight, Rick Turoczy - who many of you will know from his tech blog Silicon Florist. Rick is yet another RWW writer who hails from Portland, Oregon, USA. Marshall Kirkpatrick and Frederic Lardinois are also from that city. According to Wikipedia, Silicon Forest refers to "the cluster of high tech companies located in the Portland metropolitan area". Obviously ReadWriteWeb deems it of strategic importance to have a dominant presence in Silicon Forest, in terms of tech bloggers.
Rick has helped Portland startups with traditional and Web-based communications activities for more than a dozen years. We welcome him to the ReadWriteWeb team, where he will be a daily news writer.

I'm starting to think all of the cool tech stuff in the Northwest is in Portland, not Seattle. Maybe I should move...
