Welcome a new reader!


As I've said, recently, I'm trying to recognize my readers and pay a little attention to the people who pay a little attention to me. It's all another step in my personal development and ongoing effort to be less self-involved -- so eventually, I might talk about something at the dinner table other than myself.

But not yet. I'm not there yet.

Anyway, today's Welcomed Reader is Digital Speed, a writer who claims to have a "short, fast blog with insight to the digital world," but there's a lot more to it than that, because that doesn't capture the poetic nature of blog entries like "Vulcan's Lament," with this great line: "Men take all of their memories to Pluto, leaving sons with but memories of conversations." And "insight to the digital world" does not capture the pure genius of "Burger King Is Awesome," which you have to go read. Just do it.

And thanks, "Digital Speed," for reading.

It's easier and more interesting than actually doing my job.

Do you love football as much as everyone in the world loves football? It's the world's number one most popular sport, after all, and deserves a website to match -- a website that I just found, thanks to the fact that my boss likes football (soccer) and so I've been trying to learn more about the sport because, you know, bonuses and raises.

What I've found is this: Tribal Football, a site that has the Latest Football News and a lot more. Whether you're just getting into football (like me) or have loved it for a long time and/or play it (like my boss), Tribal Football should be at the top of your bookmarks. There's insider reports, columnists, a newswire on all the big leagues (including the US's own Major League Soccer, the one I've begun following) and best of all, a forum where you can trade news and opinions -- even if the opinions are ones you just formed because you just got into the sport. Remember that, you football lovers, when you go to Tribal Football yourself: I'm new to it. I'm trying, but I'm new. With Tribal Fusion, though, it won't be long before I can discuss football with the best of them.

Question of the Day: 12.


If I usually eat lunch at 11 a.m., and it's 10:57 a.m., and I am very hungry for no real reason whatsoever, will it make a difference if I just go ahead and eat my lunch now, or should I wait until 11 a.m. to prove a point, and if I do wait until 11 a.m., what point, exactly, am I proving?

Although it's kind of academic, because it's now 11:02 a.m. Point proven!

Great Mistakes:
