On April 2, 1997, I was issued the cjcs.com domain. It was in the neighborhood of the millionth domain, depending on how you choose to reckon these things; more than likely it was a smidge over that. In the fifteen years that have followed, this little domain has seen a lot of data get posted and read. It seems a good time to reminisce about it a little. Continue reading
On my websites, I try to focus much more on content than the facade. Don’t get me wrong — I do think presentation is important. Generally speaking, though, once I have a satisfying theme set up I’m not apt to make any significant changes for a while. It seems that the time for change is nigh. Continue reading
A few of you have told me you’ve noticed I haven’t been posting to the blog as often as you’d become accustomed to. That’s totally mea culpa. I got enough piled on my life-plate that I needed to find some slack somewhere. Continue reading

My take on this week’s group blog topic: Book(s) that I loved growing up. Those tomes that were read over-and-over until their spines broke and my eyes bleared. Continue reading
My take on this week’s group blog topic: A letter to me on my high school graduation day. With the world before me, waiting to conquer it, what could I possible tell then-me that would be helpful? Continue reading
My take on this week’s group blog topic: Does your significant other read your blog? How does ey feel about it? Does knowing ey’s reading influence what you write? Continue reading
ESPN finally issued their Guidelines for Social Networking for, “All ESPN Talent, anchors, play by play, hosts, analysts, commentators, reporters and writers who participate in any form of personal social networking that contain sports related content.” Frankly, I’m agog at what they came up with.
