Posting From The Plane
Well I’m sitting on a plane and going no where so why not post from my phone? We’re in Denver and over an hour on the tarmac after over an hour delay to start with. Hopefully I’ll have time to get some editing and posting done in the morning California time. This is coming to you from my Treo.
Mac Conversion Update
It’s been a while since I’ve given you a Mac update. This one got triggered because I’m writing an article on using a Mac for farm use for Country Guide. It’s made me think through why I have a Mac and why I like it vs. my PC. I really think I can sum things up in these words, “The …
Tonight on Tuesday

Country Living Association Strikes Gold
The Country Living Association has a new sponsor and has started a one minute radio show which they’re trying to syndicate nationally. You can read the radio show script on their website but you can’t listen to it. Seems like it might have made a good podcast, especially considering the target audience. Land O’Lakes Purina Feed, a leader in animal …
RSS is Simple, Really
Are you still one of those people who don’t understand what RSS is? Wonder no more. The people at Commoncraft have made understanding very easy (I think). Click To Play I have tried my best to describe this to many people and I find that it works best to show it in action, which I do in many of my …
Finding New Media Savvy Employees
This is probably my last post until the end of the weekend. I was catching up on my news feeds and found this one on American Business Media’s blog, Mediapace. It’s a video with Paul Conley, who I’ve linked you to before and who I’ve never met personally. We’ve traded emails. Now I know what he looks like. Good job …
