Follow me to Newsvine...

With regret, I must announce that I will no longer be posting to this blog.  Over the brief time I've started this it's been fun, but it's also become quite clear that I cannot put in the necessary time to develop and maintain a blog of the quality level I want.  There are a lot of (to put it mildly) half-ass blogs out there, with writers who post only when they feel the desire, who don't do their research, and who fail to take the time to write well.  I don't want to be one of them.

Luckily, I'm not leaving the net.  I'm hoping that you'll follow me to Newsvine, where I've maintained a page for several months.  Newsvine is a general interest news discussion site that combines the best of social networking with some excellent writing - including sportswriting.  I'll be writing a column there bi-weekly on a wide range of topics, including baseball.  The link to my column is:


The link for a general introduction to Newsvine is here.  There's even a group for Battlestar Galactica fans.

It's been been fun to run two pages, but I simply don't have the time.  Thanks to those of you who have let me know you enjoyed the pieces -- especially those of you from the Sultan of Swat Classic and the Royals fans who checked out my page during my one "wide world" exposure.  Hope to see you at Newsvine!

Using OpenID


Hey folks... thanks to those of you who have been reading and commenting.  I had intended to enable anonymous commenting for some time in order to help build an audience, but that makes it hard to track conversations, and in any case, I think people should put their names on things, even if it is an online pseudonym.  So... if you want to post comments, you'll need to sign in with some sort of OpenID.  This can easily be acquired by clicking here. One of the first things it will tell you is that you may already have an OpenID username. If you don't have one yet, you can get one by signing up for an account with Google, which will get you all sorts of cool stuff as well, in addition to the ability to post comments to this blog. If anyone has any problems with this, feel free to email me, and I'll try to help set you up.
