This is disappointing. From what I understand, the bill is asking to allowing voters the right to vote on being taxed or not. I think any bill that has anything to do with potential increased taxes will reach stiff opposition.
It’s a sad reality of politics. If this bill were passed and the [...]

Most of you who read this are probably very familiar with Julie Howard and the role she fills in the Department of Science and Technology within the Department of Commerce. Julie is one of the more outspoken and evangelical employees in Sci&Tech. She is also the driving force behind the Idaho Statesman’s Starting Up column [...]

I would also like to ask you for your help. I can’t be everywhere and do everything (I’m working on it though). Many of you have been [...]
Seriously who at BVEP has blackmail photos on Forbes?
For the second time this week Boise has made a Forbes top 10 list. We were #7 for up and coming tech cities. Now we’re at #2 for Best Places for Business and Careers. Business? Maybe. Careers? Tell that to all the people on the Monday [...]

Last year they started Billionaire Boot Camps around the state to support the summer [...]
I don’t know how I missed this article by Mark Solon, but it made me laugh. It reminded me of the saying “No is the second best answer you can get.”
I always encourage my start up friends to pitch investors even if you don’t want their money because they’ll tell you all the holes [...]
Well it looks like it’s finally going to happen. April 25th (or so) the WaterCooler is set to open. I’ve been getting a lot of emails on this, so I figured it was getting close enough I should post about it. If you’re not familiar with what the WaterCooler is, you can read the back [...]
We’ve made various Forbes lists before so for many of us this becoming old hat. But it’s always nice to be noticed even if we’ve slipped to #7. And as much as people rail on Micron (I’ve taken a few shots myself) they are the main reason we keep making these lists. [...]
Last night we had our second official TechBoise Blogger meet-up (the first one hardly counts since it corresponded with a near blizzard). We had about 30 people show up, which is more than I was expecting.
The best surprise for me came in the divers group of people that showed up. It was a great [...]
Aaron Stanton’s super secret project is now live, in beta. Booklamp.org is a book match system similar to Pandora for music.
When you watch the video and play with the interface, examine the graphs, you’ll begin to understand the depths of the data we’re able to mine from a full text novel. You can see [...]
