We arrived at the Old Port Technology Center in Portland, Maine, one of our favorite cities in the whole planet. Some say it's like a "big Portsmouth."

The band "The Pinetones" was rocking on the unique outdoor portico connecting a series of technology companies. Inside the bar and buffet was packed at O'Brians Steak and Seafood. Awards were presented from this vantage point to a large crowd of New England techies.

Thanks to our presenters from Interface Monthly, the magazine called "Northern New England's Voice for Technology". From left to right: Morten Asbjornsen, president of Interface Media Group; Jennifer Walsh, managing editor, Interface Monthly Magazine; Michael Mastronardi, publisher of Interface Monthly Magazine and founder of the Old Port Technology Center.

It's a straight shot 50 miles back to NH. Here's a shot out the window of the SeacoastNH.com limo as we bomb back home under a Portland sunset.

Congratulations again to the winners of the 1999 Interface Monthly Reader's Choice Web Awards:
