Your Voice: Another Year Older

by Citizen Wausau on April 7th, 2008 • No Comments »

[A Note from Dino: This week, we look to Mike Murphy from the Citizen Wausau community. Mike is clearly a blues legend in Wisconsin, having slugged it out for many years with little or no acclaim. He has been playing the blues longer than I have been alive, and has been doing a good job of it around the state. We are thankful that he joined the Citizen Wausau community, and hope that he blogs about his shows, and maybe adds some cool photos as well. Thank you all for submitting.]

License Your Bike!

by Andy Laub on April 4th, 2008 • No Comments »

After a year of procrastinating, I finally had a moment to head over to the Wausau Police Station and get a license for my latest steed. I really love my bike, and it means a lot to me, so doing that little bit to help with recovery in the unfortunate event of a theft is never too much to ask.

I walked in there, checkbook in hand, ready to pay whatever fee they were asking. As it turns out, it’s free! So I had to pay $0 for a little peace of mind. …

11 Questions to Avoid Tempting the Wrath of Whatever From High Atop the Thing

by Dino Corvino on April 4th, 2008 • 9 Comments »

I am upset today.  Mad at the actual internet, the tubes, the whole nine yards.  It’s not a truck, and as a result people just talk and talk and talk.  So, Sarah Lacy, from me to you I thought your interview was really great.  Its just more of the same.  As if Tipple versus Hadley was not enough, now people I enjoy are ripping on people I really respect for being interesting.

Sigh.  Web 2.0, when will it stop being about you?

  1. Were you happy with the outcome of the election?  The Mayoral election seems to be interesting, and more important what …

Not Just Good, but Great

by Andy Laub on April 3rd, 2008 • One Comment »

Wow. So it’s Good People Day today, as Dino mentioned. I apologize for these coming at you so late, but we were late in finding out about it. But still, it’s an amazingly cool opportunity for us to step back and reflect on the good things we’re doing (or trying to do). Furthermore, we’re just two days past the six-month anniversary of Citizen Wausau, and so this comes at a time when I’m very excited about what we’ve accomplished so far.

It’s only fair at this point to follow in Dino’s footsteps and give a little thanks to …

Good People Day, 2008

by Dino Corvino on April 3rd, 2008 • One Comment »

It is all over the internet today.  People are posting videos, and podcasts, and blog posts, and ecards, and PayPal donations, and YouTube and Twitter and Pownce and Virb, and LinkedIn, and all of it.  The tubes are burning up.  People are out there follow the lead of Gary Vaynerchuk, and passionately thanking folks in their lives who have made them a success.  So my good friend Andy encouraged me to get into this, and so we shall.

So much has been made and discussed about Citizen Wausau from our beginning, to the shakeup, to the nature of what we …

Cool Dude: Postponed

by Dino Corvino on April 2nd, 2008 • 28 Comments »

With the election taking place yesterday, I decided to take a week off from celebration. It sort of brings the past couple of weeks together though, Tipple then Hadley, then the voters. So rather than move on, we’ll post the results, and you can see the turnout and how your future will be affected by your action or inaction.

Here are the results, thanks to the City of Wausau.
