Okay. Maybe this is too hard. So, I guess I can provide some clues. Such as, “she” works in farm broadcasting. So here’s how it works. The first person to correctly identify Whose Boots these are and post it in a comment here will win a ZimmComm Logo speaker for their iPod. Post Update: The guesses are good but not …

Mac Product Placement
I couldn’t let this opportunity to promote Apple Computers go by. Not getting paid for this either. Here’s a picture from the opening general session today. Nice product placement I’d say. That lit up Apple icon sure stands out. I also saw more Macs in the news center than I’ve ever seen before and Evan Slack isn’t even here yet. …
Sheriff Rod Smith
I knew the news center was complete when Sheriff Rod Smith, Feedstuffs, walked in. We can all rest knowing that we’re safe under his watchful eye. Yes it was an active media room today. I can only imagine that it will be even busier tomorrow. 2008 Cattle Industry Convention Photo Album
Going To Classes and Sessions
The Cattle Industry Convention is now in full swing. It’s a busy place here at the convention center. I sure wish the internet access was better. My AT&T card in my hotel room is much faster.

Wired Journalists is a social networking site for those of us involved in making a living out of …

The organizers of the show asked him to stop handing out his flyers after receiving huge complaints from the CWB …
Winter Blast
The road tripping agriblogger is ready for some action. I’m just glad it’s not today. Cindy and I will be heading in different directions starting this weekend. In the meantime I’ve still been taking pictures like this one outside ZimmComm world headquarters. This morning it was 60 degrees. Right now it’s 18 degrees with a wind chill of -1 and …
Skype-ing With Laura in Vietnam
I just got off a video Skype call with Laura from Hanoi as in Vietnam. If you don’t have Skype then you really ought to get it. It makes communicating from anywhere so much easier and less expensive. Laura wants you to know she just got off a long bus ride btw and she’s just starting the day in a …
