I’m happy to see microlending taking root in Iraq because I think business investment is one of the best ways to create stability in any region. Sadly, the number of sound investments available in any region correlates positively with the stability already in place. These microlenders are taking significant risks to help fund businesses in [...]
I don’t really consider myself an inventor per se, but I was impressed by the Utah Inventors‘ inaugural meeting I mentioned earlier and have been wanting to report on it ever since.
The presenters (including Dr. Dinesh Patel) were stellar, and the meeting was well attended (especially for a first go); but I was surprised at [...]
UtahInventor.org is having its organizational meeting this Saturday. From the website, it looks like it could be a cool group. Here’s the meeting synopsis:
Utah Inventor of the Year for 2006, Dr. Dinesh Patel and other key leaders are scheduled to address an audience comprised of corporate and academic inventors, along with independent inventors from throughout the [...]
Here’s the press release we sent out:
The 2007.01 release of Software for Starving Students is now available for download.
Software for Starving Students is a free collection of programs organized for students (but available to anyone). We’ve gathered a list of best-in-class programs onto one CD (one disc for OS X, one for Windows), including a [...]
Utah Job Market, Collaboration, Product Life Cycles, and More (Oh my!)
I had a great time at the Phil Windley’s CTO breakfast this morning. (I’ve actually been anxious to go for months, but just haven’t gotten around to it until today.) It was fun to mingle, see old acquaintances, talk about current tech issues, etc. It [...]
BYU’s CEO club is hosting the final event for Student Entrepreneur of the Year this Friday. It should be cool, but I doubt I’ll be able to go because of the time.
Another upcoming event that should be cool (if you can afford to dish out some cash) is the Mountain West Capital Network’s UTAH 100 [...]
Local chef geek extraordinaire Joseph Hall spent several days making an awesome custom cake shaped as Tux the penguin (the Linux mascot). The killer cake, part of the PLUG’s 10th anniversary celebration, was not only attractive, but super yummy. Joseph also provided a full Tux Cake HOWTO for Linux-loving food-o-philes around the world.
Anyway, check out [...]
I’ll be going to a BBQ meeting tonight (Thursday) to help lay out plans for the first annual Utah Open Source Conference. The event won’t take place until August of next year, but we wanted to get started early because we want it to be HUGE! :)
Anyway, if you want to come along and help, [...]
The July Utah Geek Dinner is tomorrow at Brick Oven Pizza in Provo.
Hope to see you there!
This a reminder that (after a long remission) there will be a Geek Dinner tomorrow (Thursday) night at Tucanos. Pretty pricey, I know. But we are getting a discount, and there will be a sinful amount of meat. :) Don’t worry my cheap (and poor) friends, I’ll be lobbying for you for next time.
This one [...]
