A few days ago, Jordon and I made the 500+ mile trek from Milwaukee to Omaha, Nebraska.  No, we didn’t go to try and get a glimpse of Warren Buffet, nor did we go for the steaks (although we did have some great steaks).  We went to hear some of the greatest entrepreneurs and innovators on the web today speak about what drives them to do what they do so well.  Why would we go to Omaha of all places for this?  The second annual Big Omaha conference, of course.
