Here’s an interesting request from Krissa at Idaho TechConnect:
Know of any video game developers in Boise (or Idaho)?
The new SBIR solicitations from Dept of Defense are out and there is a huge demand for those skills. Rick and I were trying to think of companies in Idaho that might be interested and came up […]

Those of you on Twitter or at OSCON have already seen the posts from @kveton and @turoczy about the press that Vidoop is getting as they move their corporate headquarters from Oklahoma to Portland. I think there are at least three important lessons in this article I am reposting from the Oregonian:
1) Innovation can happen […]
Rick Ritter, over at TechConnect sent this to me. He says that Idaho has only ever had one winner but I know I’ve heard of people working on projects similar to this around here.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced today that it is seeking proposals for high-risk research projects to […]
I would imagine that everyone has seen the latest high tech wage data for Idaho released by the American Electronics Association last week.

Many have ranted and raged about the need for the state to do more to help tech succeed […]

I have asked John Foster, formerly the Editor of the Idaho Business Review Executive Director of the Idaho […]
I missed this announcement somehow:
C. L. “Butch” Otter - The State of Idaho News Release Don Dietrich Named Commerce Director
Dietrich, who had been administrator of the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Division, has a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and a master’s degree in business administration. He previously was director of international business development […]
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 […]

Bill Underway to Develop Idaho Broadband Network
There has been some dispute over the past couple of years regarding how many people in Idaho lack high-speed Internet access.
I want to know how many Idaho Legislatures actually have Broadband?
When Butch kills this bill If this bill doesn’t pass […]
