In case you missed the first post, or the many tweets, this upcoming Friday (tomorrow) is the BrightMix Ice Cream Social! We’ll be celebrating two great years in business here at BrightMix, and we’ve also teamed up with Silicon Prairie News to celebrate their one-year anniversary. This joint BrightMix/SPN event should be a great time!

The improvements at BrightMix HQ continued in full force this past weekend! As mentioned previously, we’re currently in the process of upgrading our digs a bit, to support some additional people, some additional companies, and frankly to make the basement a less scary place to be.
This weekend, with the continued help of some fantastic people [...]

This weekend, we embarked on a rather ambitious task to clean up the basement here at the office and make it more livable.

Since starting the business nearly 2 years ago, I’ve not had much in the way of time off, let alone a full-fledged vacation. Its funny, because though we emphasize a healthy work-life [...]
