PLEASE TRY AND BUY THE PIRATES AGAIN. ID RATHER WATCH SOMEONE DROWN THEN WATCH THE PIRATES. I CAN NOT STAND TO WATCH THE PIRATES HAVE ONE MORE LOSING SEASON. I DONT CARE WHAT THE NUTTING FAMILY SAYS. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF COCKSUCKERS ANYWAYS. THEY RUINED 7SPRINGS RESORT ALSO. IF YOU BUY THE PIRATES I WILL DEGRADE MYSELF TO BEING YOUR PERSONAL SLAVE. I KNOW BEFORE YOU TRIED TO BUY THEM BUT KEVIN MCCLATCHEY DIDNT ALLOW IT. THATS OK. MY FRIEND USED TO HOUSWATCH HIS HOME AND WE USED TO PISS IN HIS LAUNDRY MACHINE. THATS HOW BAD WE HATE THE OWNERS. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THATS RIGHT TRY TO PURCHASE THE TEAM AGAIN.

SINCERELY,
AARON MARKS

I would really like to make a 1 minute clip of the whole of a game – now wouldn’t that be cool! Hard to get permission to shoot in the AAC.

Here’s the link. The quality is not too good but I think you will get the idea (the original is super high rez)

It’s interesting reading posts like this from people without a real understanding of the history of social networking on the Internet. Facebook’s “Use your Real Name” method is for the most part pretty new to the social networking scene. I think that feature alone is why MySpace competes with Twitter more than it does Facebook.

There’s really two ways to participate in an Internet social network and that’s from a position with or without anonymity. BBSes, MUDs, Forums, Blogs and IRC all started from a position anonymity for the user. A user hid behind an Avatar of sorts or a screen name. Facebook and IM began the process of assigning a person to the identity with Facebook being the most advanced of the two. Both types of social networks have a place on the Internet and to think the Facebook way is the way of the future indicates a lack of understanding of the past and how important it is to the present Internet we all use daily.

The comments and blog posts are interesting and I can only hope posts like this lead to a greater understanding of Internet based social networking. Personally, I blog and twitter with an alias, albeit a thinly veiled alias at this point. I Facebook with known friends. The two serve completely different and independent but equally valid purposes.

Congrats on 5 years !

Thanks!

Sometimes I see you as fearless but it is good to see that even my hero has fears (colonoscopy). Thankfully you are in good health.

It’s ironic your other two articles are my fears.
Stock Market and Success. So far I have failed at both. 10yrs trying to achieve them down the drain. Cest la vie.

Steve Nash a fellow Canadian who won MVP twice. He is Motivated. Ehh??

It’s funny how we change our thinking over the years. We don’t appreciate newspapers until there almost bankrupt. Then we want them back. I still like newspapers only problem is by the time I get to read them it’s old news.

Dallas is my favorite show in the past. The shows today are not in it’s league.

I am getting sick of the internet to be honest. Facebook, twitter,Yim and even espn poker are virus infested areas. Hackers intruding and giving people viruses is ever evolving. I am getting choked about it.

Good to see your Mavs beating the Spurs.
Good luck in the playoffs and to another 5 yrs of blogging.
