  5/17/07 – Read o’ the Week

  RoW No Comments

  I stumbled upon this one while on Digg and looking at its front page. By the way, Digg is a webpage that got its start as a page which users can submit articles. The concept of the site’s community sets off the tone for this week’s Read o’ the Week.

  Some Community Tips for 2007

  It’s not the community as of the people that you live with. Rather, it focuses on web communities. The article emphasizes on moderators and admins being human, yet professional.

  It is understandable to be a professional about a web site and all, but with building a community, one must relate to the visitors. It takes a while to build a strong community, but only seconds to turn away someone forever. Guess the concept of putting the best foot forward really matters in this case.

  One thing that really stood out with this one is the concept behind full time moderation. It is a full-time thing, and devoting time to web site management is essential. During my college finals, I had hardly any time to put into my site. Hence the fact that I did updates beforehand.

  10,000 Years – The Best Place to be on a Bored Tuesday Evening

  Personal No Comments

  Okay, here’s the deal. If you’re a student and all you’re doing is working during the May break, you’re entitled to SOMETHING. For me, it was the Tool concert in Southaven, MS at the DeSoto Center.  Thank God for TicketMaster NOT SELLING OUT because I bought the ticket like an hour before i left work.

  

  6:15pm: Rolling along the highway thinking how close I am going to be and how much fun is going to be had.  Section 118, Row C is like right on the floor of the Civic Center. It’s not floor seats, but it’s bad ass seats. If I had floor seats, I would like Front Row ONLY because of the other people standing and jumping in front of me. At these seats, I had a view of the entire stage and the rocking crowd.

  

  6:30pm: Almost there, rocking the blue and white fire shirt, the signature cross, and a seatbelt…..lol

  

  My foot was barely keeping the hype as I was fluctuating b/w 70 and 80 mph!

  

  8pm: Kinski, the opening band, just finished playing and setup for Tool is beginning!

  

  9:30pm: Tool up and running, lights, smoke, rockin crowd, and much more!

  

  10:00pm: 10,000 years, almost 5,000 lighters. Remind me to bring a lighter to the next metal concert. I don’t smoke, but damn it, I need a lighter.

  

  12am: AND IT’S A WRAP. In a nutshell, this was my first metal concert, and it was the best! I loved EVERY freaking minute of it.

  Razr 2 Released

  Technology No Comments

  Motorola has released the Razr 2, a new version of the sleek Razr that was released a couple of years back. You know, the one that probably 50% of your friends own. This one is supposedly 2mm slimmer than the first Razr. Also there is something that Moto is doing called Crystal Talk. This is supposed to adjust the volume of the phone based on the ambient noise around the user.

  Ok, that’s my new blog for technology. Later because I’m thinking of another post. I just had to do this one because I may wind up with the Razr 2 and I am wondering how long it is going to take to catch on…..
