Ask any tech worker why they are here and not in Silicon Valley or Seattle and the answer is pretty consistent “Quality of Life!”
Julie Howard is doing an article on this subject and is looking for responces.
I’m looking for 2-3 tech workers who take advantage of, say, flyfishing or bicycling on their lunch hour and [...]

The June 24 TechBoise Event was as Tac predicted, probably the best attended event we’ve ever scheduled. Thanks to all of you who attended! It was kind of like old friends week at the Water Cooler; you know what I mean if you were there.

I’m getting more and more excited about this Coming Tuesday’s TechBoise event at the WaterCooler (14th and Idaho starting at 5:30). We have three presenters lined up to offset the networking and socializing (interspersed with spontaneous fuseball foosball matches).

Idaho growth rates revised downward

“The pace of Idaho’s real economic growth in 2006 was significantly reduced by the U. S. Bureau of Economic Analysis on June 5, the Idaho Department of Labor said in [...]
Technology and Agriculture have made interesting bedfellows in this state. Many have argued that ag is the withering dinosaur and tech is the shining star of the future. I myself have been caught up in this “bipartisanship”.
Many have ranted and raged about the need for the state to do more to help tech succeed [...]
In case you missed it, or in case you were at IdaVation next door and therefore couldn’t attend both (let’s not do that again next year please), here’s the official announcement of the winners.
