You learn how to swim real fast (with all the rain), you don't have a sales tax (just humongously high property taxes), and if you're really cool, you get to go watch the blazers loose 5 GAMES IN A ROW. ahem. sorry, off topic of this mailing list, uh, point is, there's alot of unix-related jobs in portland too, good colleges (PSU is right downtown with cheap yet elegant apartments nearby), friendly people, and NEVER does it get over 80 degrees and rarely does it get below 35.
