A lot changes over a year.
I’m at the SFO airport enjoying my overpriced Firewood Cafe pizza and I felt the need to write a post I’ve been thinking about all month. I didn’t want to pay for the wifi since my layover isn’t that long so you’re getting my second mobile post via Opera mini (that’s my way of warning [...]

Starting up: Hiring a ‘gray’ work force can reduce errors, increase efficiency | Starting Up | Idaho Statesman tags: babyboomers, business, entreprenuer, ncb, outsourcing I thought this was a fascinating concept ‘graysourcing’. As more and more babyboomers “retire” they aren’t really going to want to retire. I think we will see a huge uptake in [...]
The two most dangerous books in business
Influence: Science and Practice Reading this book gave me the same feeling I hade when I read Anarchist Cookbook; like I was learning something I really shouldn’t.

Cockburn Affirms: Use Cases Rule for Agile! | Tyner Blain tags: ncb, scenarios, usecase, user While this article is about software I found it really interesting because I’ve been talking about use cases, scenarious and personas almost interchangably when I talk about using them for marketing campaigns.

Sometime’s it sucks being ahead of the curve
In my previous post on Death of an Agency. I pointed out *one* of the major flaws in our business plan is that we were too far ahead of the market (especially for being in Boise). Pretty much all of my life I’ve been ahead of the curve. Usually those of us that are early [...]

Feature: Run Your Personal Wikipedia from a USB Stick tags: ncb, portable, wiki This is a very cool idea. I’ve been running FireFox off of a U3 drive for a while and I love it. I love the idea of a personal wiki. I wonder if you could do this with your own personal WordPress [...]
Web Design for ROI – A Book Review
How I came to get a copy of Web Design for ROI: Turning Browsers into Buyers & Prospects into Leads is really a great example of the social graph at work. Lance Loveday was looking for some bloggers to read and review the book he co-authored with Sandra Niehaus (apparently first time authors are completely [...]
Aaron of CanGoogleHearMe is on his way to California
I just got off the phone with Aaron and he’s really excited (and nervous I’m sure). I’m really excited for Aaron and his team for three reasons: It’s a great story and a great adventure. A boy, an idea and the determination to try. He’s a local entrepreneur. Boise doesn’t get a lot of high [...]
