Seen recently on the Boise Craigslist:
We are a full service graphic design and marketing agency looking for the right individual to continue our growth. We need a self motivated, organized and personable individual. Job responsibilities would include: sales, networking, proposal drafting, vendor relations and client management.
Services to be sold are:
Print design, websites, media purchasing, direct mail, marketing research, signage, vehicle graphics, etc.We are not looking for a designer, we need someone to acquire new accounts and manage them. Experience in the industry is definitely a plus, but not necessary.

Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Boise Public Library!, 715 S. Capitol Blvd, Boise ID

Back in October, Don decided that it was time to close up shop over at Idaho Radio News.
He’s back at it again, still cranking out regular updates on the ins and outs of the radio world around the state. I’m pretty sure he’s got the same disease I do – this whole blogging habit’s a hard one to break!
For what it’s worth, I say a much-belated “welcome back Don.”
