Just some things I'm reading on the internets these days to share with you for your reading pleasure.

SMQ and Kyle are going toe to toe debating a college football playoff. Check it out for some interesting reading. Warning - Bring your dictionary. At times I find myself starting to go cross eyed and daydreaming until a picture of the lovely Kristen Davis brings me back to attention.

Part IV

Bleeding Green Nation, SBNation's Philadelphia Eagles blog, had a few questions for me about Paul Posluszny. Apparently Eagles fans think (or hope) he might be wearing green next year. So go check that out.

Lastly, in the months to come you will start seeing some changes around good ol' BSD. Actually, it will probably magically happen over night while you're sleeping and the little gnomes come out to steal your socks and tie the cables behind your television in knots. SBN is focusing on making your time spent on our sites more enjoyable and enhance the community feel. To get a sneak peek, go check out the beta on Corn Nation, our Nebraska Cornhuskers blog. Feel free to leave a comment or suggestion. I promise you the powers that be are listening very closely.

(Ed. Note: I have no idea when the changes will take place, but I'm really excited about it.)

Playoff debate

I have a GREAT deal of respect for both Kyle and SMQ, they are excellent writers.
Both are very articulate and write very detailed articles but man,
it's like reading legal documents sometimes. I'm of the Reader's Digest
camp (that's how I write my blog by the way) and I just can't sit down
and boil down their lexicon into the single thought they are trying
to get across. For some it's like poetry but I just don't have the
time (or the attention span).

Agreed

They both do great jobs, but it's not my style. I'm more along the lines of KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid.

When I first started this blog I used to put up big huge posts that took a half hour to read. Then the next day I found I had trouble thinking of something to write about. So now I've learned to try to break things up into smaller posts and put them out as a series. Now I have tons to write about and I can turn posts out faster. Plus I think they are much more interesting to read.

I AM a lawyer

...and I couldn't read that. I tried. Pointlessly flowery, "look at the words I know!" paragraphs about a really simple topic.

Big words

The really amazing thing about life in today's Microsoft world is that you don't have to be an
English major to sound smart. If your sentence structure and grammar are relatively decent,
MS Word's Thesaurus can make you sound like a genius... and their spell checker makes me look
good on a daily basis. TRUST ME!
