It's Thinc Iowa week! We (at Silicon Prairie News) have been working on producing what is known Thinc Iowa for over a year and it's finally here. Check out the website (put together awesomely by Performance Marketing) at thinciowa.com.
Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 4:29PM Earlier this week I was invited to be a guest on Jeff Bratz' show on Webcast One (an online podcasting networking in Des Moines). We talked about Silicon Prairie News, Barcamp Des Moines, and other things related to entrepreneurial ecosystem in Des Moines.

Scott used it as part of a featured presentation at Big Omaha in May that was moving, inspiring and brought tears to the eyes of the 500 entrepreneurs and tech scenesters in attendance.
I shared it with my wife when I came home and mentioned that I'd like to do my part as a September baby and give up my 32nd birthday for the cause that Scott champions so well.

Almost 11 months ago, my wife and I both quit our jobs in Indianapolis and moved to Des Moines. She was set to start classes at Drake Law but I wasn't quite sure how I would spend my time. Looking back, it's been a great year.
Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 5:21PM I always cringe a bit when people ask me: What do you do? Typically, it's a filler question. It's one of those you're required to ask when you meet someone new. If what they do is interesting, you'll ask follow up questions. I hate answering it.
It's not that what I do isn't interesting (if it wasn't, I wouldn't being doing it) it just doesn't fit into a simple box like "I'm a lawyer" or "I'm in insurance".

David Hauser of Grasshopper opens up Big Omaha 2010. Photo by Malone & Co.Wow. Big Omaha was absolutely everything I expected and more. For those that don't know, Big Omaha is an entrepreneurial event put on by Silicon Prairie News in, well, Omaha. The idea is to bring together a bunch of entrepreneurially-minded folks excited about what they are doing and what they will do. Add in a bunch of speakers from across the country who have done exciting and inspiring things to generate discussion. Finish with a completely immersive, branded experience and you have Big Omaha.

Chet Culver's idea of the Silicon Prairie
There is a weird buzz going on around the term “silicon prairie”. I’m particularly attuned to it because I work with the organization Silicon Prairie News, an online news publication promoting the activities of high tech, high growth and innovative companies in Des Moines, Omaha, and the surrounding areas.
