Here’s another in the “What Companies Are Doing At NAMA” series. Our good friends at Commodity Update are sponsoring the hotel room keys. This is the image you’ll see on your keys when you check in at the Hyatt this week. They’re also announcing that they’re now being represented by Bock and Associates.

I thought that Osborn & Barr had some pretty nice digs in Clayton, MO but from the sound of it they’re going to get even nicer. Of course there is that downtown traffic to contend with but then it wasn’t great out in the Clayton area either at times. Last week they announced that the agency will be re-locating its …

This evening I’m on a panel discussion with this well known Macaholic for the Jefferson City/Columbia Apple Users group. We’re talking all about podcasting, one of my favorite topics. You’ve seen our announcement about the new one we’re producing for the Soyfoods Council and for our Domestic Fuel website and I think we’ll be announcing another one before the end …

I would love to respond personally to all of them but since it’s now over 100 emails and other forms of messaging I just can’t git ‘er done. I truly value and appreciate all of you and your support.
