Sports Blogs, Disqus, Lost-Cavs-Blazers-PTSA

Even though I’m a big-time poetry blogger now, I’ll still post all the blogger interviews I’ve done – they’re fun regardless of the fact that I’m not actively trying to re-integrate myself into that world.

Speaking of “that world” – Matt Watson over at DBB reminded that I was a part of Pajamas Media via YAYsports!, and that this one time I volunteered myself for some panel discussion on the UN and foreign policy or something.

This was the only evidence I could find of that.

Okay, it looks like there were three participants, one moderator, and I have no idea what YAYSports was doing in there. Does Pajamas Media have a clue as to our areas of expertise or fields of study?

AS I WROTE THIS, Matt found it. Looks like I actually tried to contribute for a little while, but then this happened:

What do you guys think Kofi Puffs would taste like? I’m guessing kind of “oat-ish”, with a little “cinnamon-ness”.

Steve doesn’t like me. sad face —————> :(

I’m sorry.

Semi-related, because I’ve been asked – I am not going to unload on the sports blogosphere in any way, shape, or form. I’m not even down on sports blogs – it was just a misguided idea to try and re-connect.

I also won’t abandon Triangle Basketball Attack Game – I’m waiting for some serious analysis from a couple people I sent it too. You can certainly help by spreading word on your own site, if you have one. The healthiest thing for it is if people talk about it.

Anyway, the new comment system isn’t locked in stone or anything, but it’s supposed to have a lot of great functions, and doesn’t seem to be too otherworldly different? No idea if it will stay or go – I welcome and encourage your input.

Okay, so let’s talk Cavs-Blazers-Lost tonight. I say they win, and the island wins – discuss. Also, I’ve gotten my first book review from like a legitimate literary person – one who doesn’t know me at all.

Very excited – will post it tomorrow.

What does registering entail? What are the consumer benefits?

This is a test of the comment broadcasting system. I am curious:

Cauliflower.

That is all.

I think it gets you a picture and like tracking and linkage and such. It probably benefits people with their own sites or blogs most.

Registering now…I agree with the thread view.

Unfortunately the new comments system wreaks havoc with the corporate intarweb filter thingie at my job, so I'm posting from my G1.

Never mind – didn't realize this was for an entire network of blogs. I am reborn as Tom Tupa, former punter for the Jets and many other teams, and a QB long before that.

Do you like the G1? I tried it in the store but found the keyboard lacking. The buttons seems too flat.

I love it. The Google integration is what sold me on it. The iPhone's touchscreen is more responsive, but unlike Apple's App Store the Android Market is still 100% free and open to whoever wants to write apps for it, which can be handy.

Plus the touchscreen keyboards are hard for me to type on, apparently my fingertips are bulbous and clumsy.

Also I use it for work, so the Google Docs integration is nice.
