The party will also feature an auction of specially designed pairs of TOMS Shoes bearing the art of talented local artists, with all of the proceeds from the event benefiting TOMS Shoes relief efforts in Haiti.
Here’s the basics:

Robert Nelson returns to the Omaha World-Herald today in an incredibly candid column about his absence from the paper the past three months.
(I would love to post it for you, but naturally, the World-Herald believes that you want to pay for their content.)
If you’ve got a OWH handy, definitely check it out. We consider Bob a friend of the show, and are very happy to see that he’s back. But more importantly, that it sounds like he’s doing well.
Welcome back, Bob. You were missed.

Hey folks. Here’s the link to Saturday’s show, if you missed it.
We talked with Dr. Randy Jorgensen, professor and director of the Creighton College of Business MSA program. We also talked with Jason Wietfield, a student in that program. Overall it was pretty interesting to hear about such a unique program that exists right here in Omaha. Anyway, check out the show if you want to learn more!
Good day.

Sorry folks, I blacked out for a few days and forgot to post last Saturday’s show. I feel bad because it was a good one. We had a lengthy conversation with Steph Husman from the Omaha Zoo.

"Trimming The Bowl Cut"
Anyone who was a child who enjoyed cartoons and action figures in the 1980’s, this art exhibit is for you.
In Los Angeles, there is an art exhibit called “Under The Influence: Masters of the Universe Tribute.” Here is the link for the art that is being featured at this exhibit and available for purchase.
It. Is. Awesome.
I’m not going to sit here and wax poetic about He-Man and bring up a bunch of random players in the land of Eternia. I’m going to let the artwork do the talking for me.
Even if you were a marginal fan of He-Man growing up, you need to check this stuff out.

While the focus is on the big send-off for Rosenblatt, we thought this was pretty cool. One of our listeners sent us the blueprints on the new stadium.
Regardless of your stance on the issue of “Save The Blatt” or “We Need A New Stadium That We Might Not Be Able To Afford and Place It In An Already Congested Area,” it is going to look pretty sweet.

Pinch yourself, you’re not dreaming. The Weekly Grind has been on the air for a whole year. The FCC didn’t arrest us. Our listeners didn’t snuff us out. And our wives/girlfriends didn’t dump us.
That’s reason to celebrate!
We also want to show the great amount of appreciation to all of our listeners. So we’re throwing a party…one with free food and free beer. Here’s the details:
WHEN: February 13, 2010
TIME: 12:00 – 3:00 p.m.
WHERE: Lucky Bucket Brewing Company – 11941 Centennial Road, Suite 1, La Vista
MAP: CLICK HERE>
WHAT: Free food…we’re getting some great meat provided by Le Voltaire…and will be meticulously prepared by Jon Bowling. Combined, the food should be absolutely phenomenal.
Free beer…Lucky Bucket…you’ll be one of the first to try their new IPA (it’s fantastic!)
There will also be a brewery tour!
So get your chores done early, and we’ll see you all at Lucky Bucket on the 13th!

As young professionals, many of us are at a crossroads with our career. Are we doing what we love to do? Are we making as much as we thought we would? Am I successful?
Well does any of this matter? In this very compelling TED talk, Alain de Botton, the author of Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, explains how success should be personally defined…and how that can make your live more pleasurable.
Anyway, I’m not doing it justice. This really is a great talk, and very relevant to our age group. So I hope it inspires you in some manner. Enjoy:
