The Definition of Blog

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:47:49 EDT

That's the question. What's the point? Well I'll give you my perspective of what blogging means to me and my opinion of the best way to get users interested.

Blogging, to me, means:

To have a core place for you to remember something in the future since you may not want to forget this particular thing; To store an idea or concept; To share an idea or concept with others or to maintain the idea private.

Blogging to me means writing, communicating and/or evoking emotions.

>> Link: http://fantasynews.cbssports.com Anyways, I've helped design a fantasy news sites. It's still in beta but it is finally launched as an all-in-wonder fantasy news site with plenty of fantasy centric content, stories, fantasy stats, injury reports (yes I know these existed before too) all for the upcoming fantasy football season so you have one place to get your information regardless of where you play (ahem, here). The site has a plethora of fantasy information and as I said, it's still in beta but what would be great would be to get some real world suggestions from real fantasy football or other fantasy sports users.

Feel free to post, or not. I've come to understand that to blog does not always mean to get a response but wanted to note this very important day.

This is why I hate bullies or people that think they are above it all.

NCAA website redesign

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:26:36 EST

The NCAA.com has redesigned their website.

I have my own opinions regarding their designs but truly feel that you, as a user, should contribute your own precious emotions regarding look, feel, functionality or other items you may find of interest.

Please contribute opinions regarding the www.ncaa.com

If you don't care then you should mention, "I don't care, I can use any site as long as it has a link" or maybe something like, "I don't see colors. " or simply, "Why isn't the ncaa.com just have a myspace account like me?" These are some suggestions but feel free to contribute rants like, "Duke Rules!" other things that could mean, "I like their degree of obscular vulgarity." Regardless, thank you for your many, many comments.

The best way to get fired?

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:40:45 EST

I've never been fired so I have no clue when it 'may' happen.

Any suggestions on the best way to get fired or stories you 'may' have heard?

I heard about this one where someone runs into his managers desk early in the morning, signs on to their computer (cuz they never logged out), answering their phone and making calls and sending emails. The boss walks in and says, what are you doing? He then answers, "How did you get in? I'll need to call security." At which point his boss forced him to and he was let go. Idiot? Yes. Ballsy? Hells yea.

Amy Smart + Kyle Busch + M&M's = photos? Read on.

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:37:46 EDT

Sleep is for pUnks. So what if it's 1:33 in the am, I don't mind it at all usually. Today though, I've decided to blog just to get some thoughts down about what I'll be *attempting* to do in the future, mainly trying to start a photo blog. Many would say, well why don't you just create a photo gallery? But then people wouldn't be able to post message about them, and nonetheless, I wouldn't be choosing the photos that get uploaded. I think the bigger issue for me is trying to figure out what others want to see as far as photos go. I've heard girls, girls, oh and girls, so I figured girls is the right way to go seeing as I don't mind looking at them. But there's got to be more to wanting to see a sports photo than just girls.

Dolphins No. 1

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 10:15:22 EST

Dear Miami Dolphins and the Big Tuna,

Hello. It's about time you remade the Miami Dolphins No. 1 song even though they currently aren't doing quite well. I suggest coming out with a remix of the original version with new lyrics. I can help with the sound since I'm such a musical wiz (ahem, sorry just upchucked at my own lie). But really, back in the day, the song really helped bring together the comradary. So can we please get a new Miami Dolphins No. 1 song, please?
