Lots of people are having a field day with the fact that the old grey lady has already endorsed Hillary Clinton, and John McCain - FAR in advance of even Super Tuesday or the election which is in, ahem - NOVEMBER.
To some, this may seem like a surprising set of choices. But there is one […]

LGM has a lot going on this year already - we’re about to have our annual meeting where we will announce some big changes for the upcoming year. But even with all our own activites going on, it is hard to ignore the economy. So indulge me for a moment.
Now I realize that the goal […]

So just after Boise State University CIO/CTO David O’Neill restores my faith in humanity, a lame federal judge brings me back to sad, sad reality. Today, ersatz developer Gary Rogers and his failed Boise Place project faced liquidation. In bankruptcy court this monrning, the judge told the developer:

I know, I know. You can’t believe that we actually HAVE a tech council in Idaho. Well now we don’t. Boise’s paper of record, the Idaho Statesman reported today that the Governor disbanded STAC. Basically the short story is the panel made a whole series of recommendations to the Guv, he tossed ‘em all in […]

I have not followed this story at all, I just happened to see it in the New York Times today. Apparently, an athlete named Marion Jones has had some legal difficulties. There’s the issue of using performance enhancing drugs, being “connected” to some check fraud ring, and then lying about it to a judge. All […]

The day finally arrived when Pronetos Co-Founder Shane Carlson raised his right hand, and joined the ranks of the Albion City Council. Congratulations, Shane. We had to remind him to get a shot of the ceremony so that his daughter Grace would someday believe that her dad sat on the Council. Thanks to Chip Thompson […]
