With the help of the “Xzibit Yo Dawg” meme, welcome to the Thursday edition of Prairie Moves, just like Tuesday but published on Thursday. There’s an increase of startups, projects, people, events and overall activity in the Silicon Prairie that we’ve decided to move this series to twice a week (a small sign the region’s community of entrepreneurs, creatives, investors and other stakeholders is growing).

We plan to make more changes, such as possibly adding an editors’ column in the introduction or show a list of the top five posts from the past few days. Look for experiments and changes in the future, and if you have any feedback on how we can continue to increase the value of this series, please let us know with a comment below or an email to editor@siliconprairienews.com.
