The intent of this new site is to create a community of (somewhat) like-minded people who have some sort of tie to yours truly. There are really no ground rules. Just write what you'd like - keep it as clean as you can and don't be offended by the opinions of others!
Here's how I see this working... I'll invite specific people (authors) to participate. Invitees are friends, former co-workers, etc. that have interesting things to say. Once invited, authors can participate as frequently (or not) as they like. This blog tool allows for up to 100 people to serve as authors.
I've always thought people generally enjoy sharing their opinions on things, but probably don't have the drive or interest in running their own blog. That's the cool part, this is a blog of the people, by the people and for the people - with ABSOLUTELY no responsibilities!
A few sample topics you might see from folks could be:
- If Jeff Bechthold wasn't an SID, he'd be an excellent BBQ chef;
- Tim Booth complains about being at Pebble Beach for a week covering the U.S. Open, which clearly wore him out so much he had to go to Hawai'i for a week just to unwind;
- Mike Zapolski might just be the nicest, most compassionate athletic director in the NCAA.
- Robin Reynolds has the keenest eye for grammar of anyone I've ever met;
- Dave Lewis is about as loyal as anyone you'll come across. Heck, it even gets in him in trouble from time-to-time;
- Jeremy Cothran is well traveled and has an unbelievable knack for finding and sharing the most out-of-the-way food places.
I'll be tweaking the layout over time - this is just version 1.0. If you have any suggestions, just share away..
So, if you've been invited - pick a topic, a writing style and share away!
Oh, and feel free to post pictures, graphics and such. Just keep them legal and non-offensive!
