Today in our internal Campfire chat room, Andy posted a great question to get a little feedback regarding BrightMix.tv, a site we’re putting together to showcase videos and whatnot.. Most of these are complete inside jokes, so you’re not likely to get them, but I think they’re funny / creative anyway. What’s really amazing to [...]

Today marks BrightMix’s one year anniversary. Magically, we’ve made it through an entire year! Many of you probably never saw our first, founding blog post, since we literally had like 4 readers back then, including our Moms (plus the website was an eye-seering neon green back then – yikes!). Reading that post brings a little [...]

We’re excited to announce a project that we’ve been involved with for some time, and have been slowly but surely working towards launching…. Silicon Prairie News is a website and blog covering the tech / startup / entrepreneur scene in Omaha, of which BrightMix is happy to be a part of. A “startup scene” in [...]

In an effort to bring Omaha’s creative, technical, and just generally interesting people together, BrightMix has been helping with the planning and organization of Omaha’s very first BarCamp!

We’re so very excited to report, that one of the projects that we’ve been working on for almost 10 months now has finally launched!

This information includes weather, restaurant & event recommendations, [...]

We thought it’d be nice to share a couple of the Twitter feeds from BrightMix, our people, and our friends… The “Official” BrightMix feed… [...]

I frequently comb through our archives of documents on Google Docs, and recently stumbled upon this mind-dump that I did about two years ago. It’s describing a product idea that I had for a web app, and how it could be made SO MUCH better than the existing sites out there. It’s not about the [...]

This past Friday, Omaha was hit by a rather sizable storm, complete with 90+ MPH winds, sideways hail, and all that fun stuff. Most of Midtown Omaha (the area around the BrightMix office) was hit pretty hard. As an example, the picture to the right was taken by a good friend of ours, Dave from [...]

Kevin and Dusty have written some interesting articles about running a small business. Now, it’s my turn to throw my 2 cents in about working for one…..Top 10 Style! Adios Outlook Calendar! I adore my freedom from the Outlook Calendar, and Outlook in general. That’s not to say that we don’t schedule anything at BrightMix, [...]

Way back in January when we first announced the BrightMix Internship Program, one of the core principles for the Internship was that we wanted to have fun! In fact, fun outings is even a line item as one of the perks of the job: Planned company outings (bowling, golfing, etc.) Well, sufficed to say, everyone [...]
