Award For Grower’s Boyd

Chuck Zimmerman

Vicky BoydI love this picture. Vicky’s posed on a fence rail, the background is out of focus but she’s not. I know, it’s hard to see on a 150 pixel wide web resolution jpeg but it’s “creative.” I like that.

So Vicky has a nice picture and a nice award.

Writing About New Media

Chuck Zimmerman

Jefferson City Business TimesNew 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.
