Meet Sergei Goursky. He’s the CEO of Sub Atomic Studios, a video game development company here in Portland who I met during the Android meeting I attended last week at Portland’s Lucky Lab in Southeast Portland. Goursky’s team are the game developers behind FieldRunners, the iPhone application that has received favorable reviews and has quickly become a top ten seller on the iPhone store. (Boston Red Sox legend Curt Schilling loves it, too, calling it a “helluva fun app.”)
I asked Goursky for his views about the future of Android. You may be surprised what he has to say.
Portland Code Trips
I am interviewing people in Portland who work in the Internet world. Nate DiNiro and I hung out at Backspace in Old Town today. He came up with “Portland Code Trips.” That certainly fits. Blog to come soon. I am also looking for music from local bands to feature.
I travel around town by bike and bus, Flip camera in my bag. It’s a road trip of sorts. My own little, local one that takes me to all the places a free geek may travel here in Portland, which is usually a coffee shop or pub. :-)
The geek scene is thriving in Portland. It’s an energy you can feel. Who do you know that does not love this town? My home is St. Johns. I ride the Peninsula to the other four quadrants. :-)
I love that and I know this place and its acccessibility gives the intellectually curious that same sense of happening. It’s happening in Portland like no other place. Architecture, food, the arts are all riding in plane with the geek energy. It’s intoxicating, isn’t it?
My goal is to publish one video per day. We’ll see how I do. It’s an interview series with stories that I produce about the geeks who I discover here in Portland. I am not just talking about tech geeks. Portland has its share of food geeks, music geeks and all kinds of other folks who geek to their own beat. I hope I can bring that local geekery out just a little. In the meantime, expressing the zeitgeist of this time here in Portland, Oregon.
