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 […]
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. Robert writes the book from the perspective of how to avoid the traps of influence. It doesn’t take long to realize that in the wrong hands this […]

Especially as the Web becomes […]
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

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 install? I […]
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 responsible […]
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:

He’s a local entrepreneur. Boise doesn’t get a lot […]
