Over the weekend, we headed to the Willamette Valley for our annual camping trip. This year’s theme: ren faire!

We journeyed the grounds like knights and nobles, competing in epic tournaments of jousting, HORSE, and Magic the Gathering for glory and honor. (And by that, we mean bragging rights.)

‘Twas a weekend of feasts and libations, campfire hangs, chitchats under the stars, and equal parts camaraderie and hilarity.

Cheers to company worth trading a weekend for, and to memories we simply wouldn’t trade. 💙 🍻

Yesterday, we joined our lovely clients at A to Z Wineworks as they worked through their harvest. We normally work behind the scenes to keep their technology running, but we loved the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes peek into their world of w**emaking.

To show our appreciation and celebrate the fruits of their labor (get it?), we ordered up gelato for their whole crew.

Cheers to partnership and to mighty fine w**e! 🍷🍦

If you’ve been wondering whether the hype around AI PCs stands up in reality, we’ve got a chance for you to find out firsthand. Next month, we’re teaming up with our friends at Dell and TD SYNNEX to bring to you our two-part event, A Cut Above. 💻 🌲 ⚽

Part I: Dell Copilot+ PC Demo & Drinks | Friday, October 23rd at Internetworks HQ

We’re breaking past the tech specs and hype to show you what AI-powered work looks like in practice, and why Dell is leading the pack. We’ll walk through hands-on demos, share real results, and give you our honest take on where these new workstations deliver the most bang for your buck. Come with all your questions, and leave with them answered.

Part II: A Cut Above: Timbers vs. Charlotte FC | Saturday, October 24th at Providence Park

Then, we’ll reach new heights of a different kind as we watch the Portland Timbers take on Charlotte FC from the cush and cozy Tanner Ridge Club Deck, a cut above your average game-day view.

Space is limited, and registration approval is required. Save your seat today: https://na2.hubs.ly/H07JQN20

Last night, we took over Square Bar for this month’s Community Happy Hour! Easy conversations, familiar faces, and a plenty of new ones, too.

It was great to spend the evening in the heart of downtown, talking shop and supporting a budding downtown business.

Cheers to community and to showing up for Rose City! 🌹🍻

Please join us in congratulating Scott on his promotion to Senior IT Service Technician!

When Scott joined our team two and a half years ago, he dove right in. He’s soaked up every learning opportunity that he could and chocked up a hefty collection of certs along the way.

Scott is known for showing up and getting problems solved. He’s become a familiar face at several of our clients offices, staying calm and collected, and putting tickets to bed without missing a beat. Their feedback speaks for itself: Scott is patient, professional, and quick to get things fixed.

Congratulations, Scott! A well-earned achievement, indeed. 👏

Over the weekend, we gathered together for our annual company picnic — this year, at Oaks Park! We spent the day hanging out, riding rides, catching up, and we even caught a few rays in the afternoon. We left with our bellies full of elephant ears and arcade candy, and with our cups filled, too.

One thing about us: we’ll always cherish time spent together offline, especially with those we love around us. 💙 Cheers to good food, good weather, and good company!

This week, we headed to Goose Hollow and spent the evening tucked in the Timbers’ Army for a Portland Timbers match. There's just something special about standing shoulder to shoulder with your own teammates, singing the same chants, and rooting on the home team.

A Timber's win in great company? That's a perfect way to spend a summer night in the Northwest, if you ask us.

Shoutout to Derek for organizing!

Everyone is talking about Copilot+ PC's right now. But, fewer people are talking about the actual impact of using them.

There's tons of information out there on chips, processors, and the chatbot benefits, but little on the security and efficiency boosts these workstations can truly offer. On our blog, we're breaking past the technical specs and getting down to the real benefits of Copilot+ PC's.

We’re keeping the positive vibes rolling into the new week. ☀️

When this new-to-us client had sudden internet issues that their internet provider couldn’t decode, Chris swooped in to save the day, swiftly learning the ins and outs of their environment. In no time, he got their network back up and their team back to business.

Great job troubleshooting thoroughly and resolving quickly, Chris!
