Upcoming Event – Boise Adobe Users and Graphic Design Group

The Boise Adobe Users and Graphic Design Group will be holding their next meetup on Thursday, December 18th.

Jeff Reynolds and Ron Baker of Rizen Creative will be the guest speaker at this meetup, and will touch on the process of translating what the client thinks they want into what will actually work.

There will also be a portfolio presentation by a local artist / designer, and a short technology spotlight.

Here are all the details you could possibly want (well, maybe not all of them):

Date: December 18
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Boise Public Library!, 715 S. Capitol Blvd, Boise ID

RSVPs should be directed to the group’s Meetup event page.

UPDATE: Both Jeff Reynolds and Ron Baker will be speaking to the group. Inadvertently left Ron off the first time around.

UPDATE: The correct time for this event is 6:30 pm, not 6:00 pm as originally listed.

An Idaho Radio News Update

Back in October, Don decided that it was time to close up shop over at Idaho Radio News.

It didn’t last long.

He’s back at it again, still cranking out regular updates on the ins and outs of the radio world around the state. I’m pretty sure he’s got the same disease I do – this whole blogging habit’s a hard one to break!

For what it’s worth, I say a much-belated “welcome back Don.”
