Weekly Wrap-Up: f8 was great, but f9 was devine
With the trio of typical Weekly Wrap-Up hosts — Jeff, Dusty and Danny — scattered to the four winds — or Chicago, Lincoln and Boston, respectively — today, Brittany and I were left to tackle WWU episode No. 107. And since Facebook made such a splash with its f8 announcements on Thursday, we decided to…

Weekly Wrap-Up: Event season is underway
With Michael out of the office today, I’m pinch-hitting as the author of today’s Weekly Wrap-Up, which means the witty commentary is also absent, but a simple list of topics discussed is still present. Mentioned this week: Jeff out in San Francisco at Salesforce’s Dreamforce Conference, Following the news on Michael Arrington and his recently…

Weekly Wrap-Up: Jeff has the weather on his mind. Again.

Weekly Wrap-Up: The ‘Who Wore it Best?’ edition
It’s not a widely known fact outside the Silicon Prairie News office, but about 3-4 times a week one of our fearless co-founders — Jeff Slobotski and Dusty Davidson — will call the other at night to coordinate outfits to wear to work the following day. Very Mary Kate and Ashley of them, no? Well,…

Weekly Wrap-Up: The One Where Dusty Comes Back
The band got back together. Recently returned from the land of fried potatoes and dipped sandwiches (that is, France), Dusty Davidson reunited with his old Weekly Wrap-Up co-host, Jeff Slobotski, to do today’s show. And what a show it was. Things kicked off with discussion of Harry Potter, and what followed was, fittingly, WWU wizardry.…

Weekly Wrap-Up: Space Shuttle Atlantis Launch Edition
No computer glitches here. Unlike what went on at Cape Caneveral this morning, the launch of the Weekly Wrap-Up was never in doubt. Danny Schreiber and Jeff Slobotski did their best Armstrong and Aldrin in hosting today’s WWU. Danny was decked out in an oh-so appropriate Big Omaha shirt to celebrate the launch of the…

Weekly Wrap-Up: The one where Danny espouses water safety tips
Some folks might use the impending holiday weekend as an excuse to shirk work responsibilities or mail it in at the office today. Fortunately for you, the powers that be at the Weekly Wrap-Up are not among those folks. Today’s pre-Independence Day show was bigger and better — OK, it was at least bigger —…
