Hello from Omaha. It’s a rare opportunity for both of us to travel together (Chuck & Cindy) but it happens. We’re spending a day doing some creative strategy with the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council. That may mean that posting will be light.

We Got Your DogEquine Products
I had to bring this to your attention just because of the name if for no other reason. DogEquine will certainly get your attention. I’ll let you create a mental picture before you read what it’s all about.
All About Podcasting
After hearing all the interest in podcasting expressed at the Agricultural Media Summit I thought I’d offer these tidbits. To start with a company called Ralston360 has created a virtual podcast for you that explains podcasting. Spend a few minutes and watch this. It’s not only well done but they used the same video iPod I own as their screen image. This is high up on the cool factor and brought to my attention by Steve Rubel.
ARC Meeting At Ag Media Summit
At the recent Agricultural Media Summit, one of the “official” participating organizations, the Agricultural Relations Council held a breakfast meeting.
Signing The OI Flag
I just received this picture from Albert Renteria the founder of Operation Interdependence. He’s one of the the guys who drove a vehicle every mile of the recent Celebrate the Interstate cross country convoy I participated in. He drove this motor coach with the flag flying all the way across America. All of us in the convoy signed it and now he’s working on a plan for the flag.
Egg McMuffin Not a Kroc
Let’s all celebrate with Herb Peterson. According to a story in the Chicago Sun, he was just honored with a lifetime achievement award by McDonald’s Corporation for inventing the Egg McMuffin among other things. He did so after becoming frustrated that the restaurant didn’t have a breakfast menu. Thanks to the Meatingplace for the heads up.
Writing About New Media
New media will now be getting some regular play in my local business paper, the Jefferson City Business Times (JCBT). They’ll be kicking off a new website any day now and I’ll be able to link you to my regular column that started with the August issue. I got started by defining blogs, podcasts and RSS. In the coming months I’m going to be focusing on each of these new media tools separately.

Gullickson Writer of the Year
At Successful Farming I know who gets the tough stuff to write about. It’s gotta be Gil Gullickson. As Crops Technology Editor I’m sure he has a challenge making sure his readers understand some pretty complicated stuff. Now he’s won a big award to prove he’s very good at it.
