  • Startup Nebraska: Now is the time to get involved

    The Startup Nebraska effort is launching on Friday. What does this mean? It means that now is the time to get involved. The event is a launch but not a completed …

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The one where Jeff prepares to make his biggest ask

    Fall has, um, fallen here in Omaha. Sure, autumn is still technically a week away. But brisk weather had Jeff and Dusty all bundled up and buzzing about — what else? — the weather for episode No. 106 of the Weekly Wrap-Up, or the “first day of freezing cold” episode, as Dusty dubbed it. Although…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The one after SPN won the kickball tournament

    On account of some technical difficulties, our latest Weekly Wrap-Up video is hitting the site a tad later than normal. So we’ll put function over form here and eschew our usual attempts at WWU humor in favor of a more utilitarian introduction: Jeff and Dusty hosted. (Insert current events joke here.) It was our 105th…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The 100th Episode

    In a show that featured a cavalcade of cameos and non-stop nostalgia, the Weekly Wrap-Up celebrated its 100th episode Friday, live from the Silicon Prairie News third birthday bash. Admittedly, it’s taken us a little longer than we would have liked to post this video of the show, but, hey … sometimes that’s the price…

  • Live-streaming: Weekly Wrap-Up episode No. 100 at 4:30 p.m.

    Sometimes, a moment is simply so sublime, so momentous, so transcendent that it’s dubbed “too big for words.” But this post clearly contains words — probably many more than it needs to, in fact — so the whole too-big-for-words description doesn’t apply here. Nonetheless, we think the moment that’s the motivation for this post, our…

  • Weekly Wrap-Up: The Jeff and Geoff in the Morning edition

    The Je/Geo-ffs: they’re like the Silicon Prairie News version of The Bobs, except that they celebrate Michael Bolton’s entire catalogue even more enthusiastically. Yet, despite their oh-so similar names and obvious potential for on-screen chemistry, Jeff Slobotski and Geoff Wood had never teamed up for the Weekly Wrap-Up. Until today. And the course of WWU…
