Tyrell,

Welcome to town and I hope to see you at meetings, eventually giving a
talk some day.

I have not heard of certification coming up and like to think that
Portland companies are more... intuitive than that, but I won't knock
certification as a member of the BSD Certification Group. In tech-weak
climates, it can definitely set you apart and helps show initiative for
those who are right out of school and face the chicken and egg,
experience required/haven't worked yet scenario.
