While we're on the topic of 'Things that interest Kevin,' I want to order all truly loyal readers to go out and start their own Cal Blogs. Doesn't matter if you have a story to write on, if you're worried about Anonymity, or what: start a Blog. Do it because you'll like it, do it because you'll be doing me a favor, and do it because Cal Blogs truly are something Cal needs more of.
One thing I especially want to debunk: the concept you're in competition with existing blogs. Bullshit! Blogging is about commentary and dialog, not competition. Every new perspective to the ring helps the existing members. Case in point: I'd probably have all the SJP/Protest issues to myself if Angry Clam wasn't there. But the product would be poorer: I wouldn't have the access to Clam's background info on the players, or be able to cover the issue as exhaustively as he does. He wins because he can cover an issue well, I win because I can draw upon his work in my own writing, and readers win because the finished product is better. Adversaries are even better. I know I'd kill for a Progressive Cal Blog out there. So here's my offer: If you want a trial run, e-mail me. I'll put you on board Calstuff for a couple of weeks as an Associate. See how you like posting, do a bit of writing, and if you like it, set up your own. You'll be getting 100 hits a day right off the bat. Email This Post! |
