blogsforbush.com redesign

I love what Lisa Sabin did with blogsforbush.com. I have to say that I got tired of scrolling blogsforbush and would often “give up” on stories that were well below the proverbial “fold.” This is much cleaner and has me thinking about a re-design for this site. Perhaps something similar to what I did with Shelly’s blog or blogsforlife.com.

A Keenan post

I have a great list of blogs that I check every day (at least once). I will usually bookmark it after a post and if, after a while, I realize that I haven’t seen anything good for some time then I’ll delete the bookmark. Often times I’ll never see that site again in that case because I couldn’t find it if I wanted to (the bad thing about bookmarks, computerized address books, and cell phones is that you never have to remember URLs, email addresses, or phone numbers once you input them).

One of the sites that made it into the mix a short while ago was Teal Sunglasses. The site owner, Chuq, is a Sharks fan and a hockey fan in general (which is probably why I bookmarked the site in the first place, though I honestly can’t remember). Today he asks a couple of questions about today’s hockey versus yesterday’s (and no, we aren’t talking about none versus some). He also mentions Mike Keenan as one of the three big influences on today’s hockey:

Mike Keenan, who may not be my favorite coach, but his impact to the game is unquestionable. He was one of the early coaches to push conditioning as a strategic asset, and more importantly, a coach that innovated the aggressive forecheck. Again, go back and watch classic games, you’ll mostly notice the defense playing a half-court defense, or maybe a 3/4 court. chasing the puck behind the net? throwing in a Mike sullivan type player to harrass the defenseman carrying the puck? Didn’t happen much, if at all. So teams were more easily able to get into the offensive zone and set up offense than they are today. Keenan also brought forward a more aggressive style of attacking the puck, makign sure offensive players couldn’t sit back and pick apart the defense.

Is the Dayton vs. Kennedy blog necessary?

It looks as though the Dayton vs. Kennedy blog might not be necessary. Here’s to keeping it bookmarked for a little more time yet, however!

TJ’s back

TJ’s blog is back and looking great! Hopefully WordPress 1.5 is better to him than 1.2 was.

Ruffini stuff

Patrick Ruffini has three very interesting posts in a row (they are all interesting, but these are of particular interest because of the exclusivity).

First he mentions that a new version of the blog will be rolling out soon. In my opinion, the version he has up right now isn’t worth changing. You gotta love the convention photo that’s up there, anyway. I am, however, interested to see how this thing can improve.

Next he talks about his first site and the beginning of his first blog. I’ll have to get around to that sometime, but let’s just say that TJ is the one who kinda got me going on the whole blog idea.

Last, he points us to an article about Andy Card. Card’s been an interesting figure, especially since 9.11. Ruffini ads a personal touch to the issue, however. This kind of stuff is what makes blogs great. If anyone knows of any good books on Andy Card, let me know (email address is to the right). I haven’t been able to find one yet.

Check out the new Slobokan layout. Very sharp. A good site to add to your daily reading list, too.

Blogs for Bush future

Blogs for Bush has exciting plans to become GOPbloggers.com in the near future. Interesting. The site did a great service to President Bush and his supporters. I’m glad to see that it will be around to help keep Hillary out of office.
