I'm loving this song.
Superbowl
I'm not much of a football guy, but I watched with some friends anyway. It was a pretty good game. I more enjoyed the conversation that was completely unrelated to the game, but I had a good time. It was a good game. I was rooting for the Cardinals, and was disappointed, but I'm cool with it.
Well, this is just great

Three books and a radio show/podcast

Quadruple reviews! I shall review: "This American Life", "Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing the World", "Not Wet Yet", and "Freakanomics"
Let's start off with This American Life.
This American Life is a show on NPR that discusses, well, life, the universe, and everything, in an incredibly interesting way. It's a very difficult thing to define due to the fact that the shows are so broad. It's hosted by Ira Glass (or Grass. Or something), who does a fantastic job. It's not especially funny, it's just very interesting. Really sparks the mind. Anyway, I've got a lot to write, so let's move on.
Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing the World. Whew. Happy I only had to type that twice. See, B:UtIRTCtW (Let's just call it "Blog") is written from the perspective of a business man, and is about, you guessed it, blogs. I reccomend this book, as it describes very well the difference between "Old Media" and "New Media" and what's happening. It doesn't have too much advice on blogging, especially my type of blogging (it focuses more on corprate stuffs), so if you want that, pick up "The Dummies Guide to Blogging". Or "Idiot's" or Whatever.
Not Wet Yet. This is a book written by the comedian Ian Shoales, who comments on life, society, and everything. He doens't know enough about the universe, so he made that replacement. It was published in 1996, so it's a little outdated, but still hilarious and extremely insightful.
Finally, Freakanomics. Like "Economics" combined with "Freak". This book, is about economics. No surprise there. The surprise is that Ecomics is NOT the study of money, it's actually the study of choices. This book goes over the choices people make, and the way they make them. It's part psycology, part statistics, and part straight damn interesting. I highly reccomend all of these books, and this podcast.
Signing off, Silence.
Looking for new authors
Monday, January 26, 2009
I want to expand the blog by adding another author. This basically means that I want someone else to do my work and write for me. What you get: A blog. What I get: an author.
Now, you may be wondering why I'm doing this. I mean, I'm already rocking steady daily posting. The truth is that my blog is starting to get shallow and one dimensional. With only me posting, you can expect the same thing every day. That's why I want another author.
Simply drop a comment, and I'll decide weather you can be an author or not. Then, I'll moderate the posts, and eventually decide who gets to stay. I'll be chosing one author.
In the likely case that no one acutally signs up, I'll be continuing business as usual.
Anyway, signing off, Silence.
