Keep up the great work!

I know that my pal Andy Sack is thrilled with the results of the first TechStars Seattle class and feels that the community was very supportive. Boise's got a good handful of compelling startups and a couple of venture-backed companies that are growing nicely. It's nascent, but the town's certainly got great potential.

I got into the data stuff for a little while but hands down, I find that "less is more" now. I know if I can hear my heart in my ears or my legs were shaking, I got out of it what I wanted. Toss in the scenery that you, I and our friends in the mountain states get to enjoy, and what else do you really need?

I agree with you 100% that throwing more dollars at education isn't the answer and I wrote that too quickly without thinking. If you'll let me rephrase it, I would change it to "the challenges we have in righting our education system". Not sure I agree with you regarding engineering however. We (and many of our venture colleagues) have seen first hand the impact that our flawed immigration system is having on promising entrepreneurs who want to come here to start companies or stay and work but can't. Thanks for keeping me on my toes and helping me clarify my point. Your summary is spot on.

It's great to see DAZ3D getting the recognition it deserves as one of the most innovative software programs available. Keep up the great work!

I thought it was evident that I was referring to the design/build/render component of making a movie. Sorry for the confusion. Glad you're enjoying other DAZ products!

Call me at the office - (208) 860-2846. I'd like to see the work you've done in Studio and it would be very gratifying for me to see what you can do in Carrara.

I think we're in violent agreement on Ben's artistry & imagination. My post wasn't meant to take away from that. The intent was to point out that just a few years ago, people couldn't do the things they can today thanks to programs like iMovie and Animoto and a few years from now, software like Carrara will make it easier than ever for wonderfully creative people like Ben to express their creativity like never before, most importantly at a price point that they can afford.
