She’s Kimberly Taylor at the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute. You might remember that I blogged their annual convention last year. I guess all my evangelizing is being noticed eh? I like Kimberly’s style and from what I see she is setting a great example of how you can use the blogging mechanism.
