Yesterday News.com gave the DotNetNuke (DNN) community a boost when it headlined an article about Microsoft and Open Source.  Congratulations Shaun and DNN for creating a product that is getting this kind of attention.  You deserve it.

If you have not yet given DNN a run then what in the world are you thinking?  DNN is no longer a hobbyists web management toy.  It has matured to a point where it can rightly be called an Enterprise Application management and hosting framework.  If you are still doing custom web sites without a tool like DNN you have more to worry about than being outsourced to India.

Last year Forbes ranked Boise #7 in the list of Best Metros for Business and Careers.  This year my home town hits #1!  As an employee of Idaho Commerce and Labor I know that Boise and Idaho are both doing well in large part because of the leadership in my own agency and within State government.  Pay a visit to Idaho this summer and see why so many of us love it here!

Thaks to Ed Daniel for sending this one to me.
