Looking back, I have started the last few blog posts by apologizing for my absence.  It is not that things haven't been hopping here at CubeSpace, because they have, and according to our calendar, will continue to do so for a while.  Rather I have wandered back into the realm of public policy, which is my first and true love (as is obvious to anyone who is foolish enough to engage me in a conversation about local government budgeting).  I have been itching for the ability to write posts on the intersection of entrepreneurship/microbusinesses and public policy, but that didn't feel like a great match for this blog.  So, with a "duh" and a slap to the forehead I started my new blog, which you can find here.

That frees me up to talk about all of the amazing things that have ben happening at CubeSpace.  This past weekend, we put on a great conference called "From Side Project to Startup."  We had a range of people here, from folks wanting to start a nonprofit, to people mulling a business idea, to those who have been working on something on the side and were wondering when to make the leap and quit their day job to serial entrepreneurs who wanted to see what was going on.  

There were lots of great ideas, advice and information flowing this weekend.  We also encouraged folks to continue putting workshop requests on the wiki here so we get a better sense of what kind of workshops people would like to see. 

And, if that weren't enough, we also voted on worst startup ideas, both real and fictional.  Check out the ones posted at the event and add some of your own at Startup to Sideproject.
