Since this week is such a slow week as far as most business is concerned, ZimmComm is taking it easy too. Cindy and I decided on a trip to see family in multiple states so posting will continue to be light until we get back. It’s interesting to see who’s still working and who’s not based on emails. One thing is for sure, the email spammers are not taking the week off. I’m still getting my full daily amount of spam. In fact, over last weekend it was all spam.

January is going to be a very busy month as most of you know. Road tripping will pick up very shortly after the new year gets started and I think I’ll have some great stuff to bring to your blog and feed reading attention. I’ll still be looking for posting ideas until next week though. Don’t be shy. Send me your thoughts and ideas and I’ll pass them along.

I’m not sure how many people really care to know this but the White House Press Office did share the lunch menu at Camp David on Christmas.

Turkey with Giblet Gravy
Cornbread Dressing
Mashed Potatoes
Green Beans
Sweet Potato Casserole
Rolls
Ambrosia
Pumpkin and Pecan Pies

Sounds pretty good to me.

I know this is kind of old at this point but it’s the only holiday picture I’ve got. Cindy and I are going to be spending some time with family and taking a posting vacation starting today and through Christmas.

This doesn’t mean there’s nothing to read here on AgWired if you should visit. So far there’s about 2,700 posts you can browse through. Keep in mind that they’re all categorized too. You can use the categories links in the sidebar to narrow down your browsing search. And there’s a keyword search function as well.

Now just in case you missed it you can still see us do a little holiday dance for you.

All you’ve got to do is check out my moves here thanks to Office Max. Or if you’d rather, you can see Cindy doing the elf dance here too.

Merry Christmas from ZimmComm New Media.

Actually this isn’t about that kind of resolution. Right after the first of the year ZimmComm New Media will have a big announcement for you and I just thought I’d tease you now so you can spend your holiday wondering and speculating. We’re taking another big step forward in the new media world and very excited about it.

So keep your eyes on your in-box when you’ve recovered from your New Year’s celebration. That’s all I can tell you right now. Mysterious I know. It’s meant to be. Let’s just say though that we’ll have more to offer and that’s a good thing for us and I hope for you too.

Yee-haw!

This week ZimmComm New Media is going to take a TextDrive. Basically this means we’re moving to a new server. For a couple years now we’ve been with HostGator and for the most part they’ve been a good fit.

However, as we’ve evolved in the web publishing and social media world we need a company that really understands what we’re doing. As I was looking around at various companies we could work with I was pointed to TextDrive, a Joyent company. Ironically, this is the company that the original design artist for the AgWired theme moved to.

TextDrive is “hosting company run by and for people who love publishing on the web.” When I saw that slogan I had a gut feeling I was in the right place. This is going to be different kind of hosting management environment. We’re hoping for a smooth transfer this week but just in case we have a hiccup you’ll know what’s going on.

After this move is complete it’s full steam ahead into the new year. This is going to be fun.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful my oldest daughter is. For those of you who don’t know, her name is Chelsea and she’s working part time for ZimmComm New Media. We’re a community here so I feel comfortable sharing this with you. Many of you know that Chelsea was in an auto accident that left her paralyzed from the chest down.

I have not read the book, just the release. But because the author is from Ocala, FL I thought I’d post this. We moved to Missouri from Ocala back in late 1991.

Hello AgWired fans. You may have noticed that AgWired has been down periodically over the last several days. This was originally caused by an attack last week that hasn’t stopped. I guess that once you have a website with the level of traffic we have you become a target. If you want all the gory technical details I’ll be happy …

It’s time to start getting into the holiday spirit so I thought I’d offer you some (strange) holiday cheer to perk you up when you get into the office on Monday morning.

Do you have some real estate you’d like to sell? Are you wondering how you’re going to market it? Here’s a place you might want to check on. I don’t know who this is behind it but I’m sure I can find out.
