Wirestone in Boise has had a few job openings as of late, including:
Senior Interactive Designer / Flash / Animator with an in-depth working knowledge of Flash and Actionscript 2 and 3. The job description puts this opening in California, but they are also looking for developers here in Idaho.
Junior Web Analyst with 1-2 years experience with web analytics, analytics tools, content management systems and such.
.NET Developer – This is an unposted opening at this point, but the folks at the Boise office are on the hunt for talented .NET developers.

Seeing or hearing an advertisement that is obviously outdated, or seeing/hearing nothing at all?
A couple of recent examples:
There are two new billboards just off of Chinden Blvd, on the North side of the road, near the Hewlett Packard campus. When traveling West, one of the boards is for a movie that was showing on May 30th. At last glance, today’s date is August 11th.
Recently seen on a few ValleyRide buses around town: ads for the Shrine Circus, including a schedule, for events that took place back in mid-June.
Yes, it’s a recurring theme. The media placement and the message have to play well together. Otherwise, it just looks foolish and lazy.
