We may be batting under our average, but we’re staying focused. Keep at it, team! A quick little humble brag as our blog Fresh Brewed Tech is only a year old and yet we recently were awarded 2nd and 3rd place honors by the San Diego chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for Original Godfathers of San Diego Tech and the blog in general, respectively. Appreciate the feedback you give and for sharing our content on your social media channels. |
