Thanks to everyone that attended TechBoise last night. We had a lot of 'new blood'. We love that! A big thanks to Wirestone for sponsoring too. A good time was had by all.

We had some great discussion during our Idea Market (and yes, those discussions will be appearing on the site shortly). We'll group them by topic and hope that the discussions will continue. We did receive a lot fo great ideas and input. TechBoise will start to tackle a few of them. If you are interested in helping with any of them, please let us know (krissa(at)krissawrigley.com).
