OT: Bored at work?
October 9th, 2009 at 3:52 PM ^
There went 15 minutes of my day to catch the damn thing twice.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:55 PM ^
If you first click isn't on the outer edge of the board, ur doin it wrong.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:32 PM ^
I felt like a Defensive End with outside responsibilities...I was yelling "CONTAIN" when the cat escaped...I need those 15 minutes back BTW
October 9th, 2009 at 5:10 PM ^
God, I'm almost tempted to neg you for posting that. That freaking cat is going to drive me nuts.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
I refresh my mgopoints log to see if anyone's given me points and if nobody has, I negbang people for the hell of it. Sometimes I pick a person at random and spend all day searching out their posts all the way back through the beginning of the board and negging every single one of them. It's fun.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
You're posting in the wrong thread.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
Yes, and the ironic thing is I posted that before I even looked at the "right" thread. I've fixed my mistake and expect to be bouje'd any minute now.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:35 PM ^
You read the Drudge? Never thought I'd see another conservative on the board
October 9th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
I read drudgereport. It's one of the easiest quickest ways to get news. my biggest problem with it, though, is when you see links that help disprove things like "global warming"
"chicago....coldest summer ever!" Like that's really news. That's clearly agenda driven.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
I think we may be outnumbered.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:59 PM ^
For quick access to a range of content, Drudge is the best. For political commment, though, I read RealClearPolitics.
October 9th, 2009 at 5:06 PM ^
Conservatives at Michigan? Head asploded.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:38 PM ^
70 subscriptions on Reader will keep you busy. Keeps you "looking" busy too.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:08 PM ^
Actually, I'm at 268 subscriptions and it almost covers my day. Now if the Economist just posted over the entire week rather than just on Thursdays.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:13 PM ^
M.Go.Licious is a great resource, but has any though been given to bundling some of the popular Michigan sports/ NCAAF blogs up and publishing them for MGoBloggers? MGoReader?

I've created one for BigTen Baseball. There is actually somewhat one for Big-Ten-Bloggers for football. It's got a solid mix, but it's missing quite a few good sites.

October 9th, 2009 at 8:27 PM ^
Ask and ye shall receive part of it. This should be a pretty comprehensive collection of Michigan blogs/media.
MGoReader Bundle: All the Michigan blogs listed in Brian's side bar, as well as Rodriguez Twitter, the Daily, DetNews, and freep.If you don't click through their links, I don't think it affects their revenue. If someone wants to verify that, it would be appreciated.
UM Twitter Feeds: If you'd rather follow them through RSS rather than on twitter itself.
I might add a list of big ten blogger tweets, but I'm not sure I want to do that just yet.
October 9th, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
AWESOME!! Thanks FA
October 9th, 2009 at 10:11 PM ^
Here's one for BigTen Bloggers that is a bit more up to date and has all the Michigan ones removed. It has basketball and football.
BigTen Blogs minus Michigan
Any other suggestions on BigTen Blogs are welcome.

Damnit, that ruined me most of Summer term. I've kicked the habit, though.

Also, games.yahoo.com is chock-full of stuff. Watch out for Bubble Breaker, that one can eat up hours.

I meditate on how lucky I am to have a job and wonder how a blog with mostly links to the Associated Press, Reuters and CNN is considered a "conservative" website. I also indulge in my Iphone apps and then get back to work.
