UGBT: Children of the Corn
This is a video Geoff and I shot on the way to Des Moines, our good times in Omaha fresh on our mind. It was a leisurely drive filled with great music, lots of sugar and many photography stops. We didn’t have particularly deep thoughts in this video, but I like the corn-playground cinematography and the $2 Aquaman shirt Geoff bought me in Omaha. I’ve always pulled for Aquaman. What kind of super power is talking to the fish?
Similarly, Omaha may appear to be a city with no natural Web-powerhouse-building abilities, but it does have an astounding creative class and a deep entrepreneurial spirit that goes back to the days when Warren Buffett and other city elders were making their names. That legacy may have been dormant for a while, but the new scrappy creative class is dusting it off.
