Reception Time

Chuck Zimmerman

It’s time to do a little recepting here at the AMS. Starting now we have the BASF Media reception. Then it’s off to the Awards Celebrations Reception, combined AAEA and LPC. Then they have their awards dinners before getting back together for the Dessert Reception.

I’ll get back to you after enjoying a little reception time.

Ciao.

Dan CrummettI keep getting positive feedback from my agriblogging and farm podcasting workshop yesterday. For example, Dan Crummett, current President of AAEA, Rural Life, said he used an idea that came up in the session for a post he did yesterday on his blog.

Morning New Media Roundtable

Chuck Zimmerman

I am truly such an idiot. I didn’t record my presentation yesterday or the roundtable discussion on the same subject this morning.

I just led a discussion on agriblogging and farm podcasting after breakfast. There were about 11 people in the discussion and it was excellent. I am fascinated by the interest in podcasting on the part of publications, especially when I see so little interest in it on the part of farm broadcasters.
