Whether they’re discussing Activision’s takeover of Blizzard or Gamespot’s firing of an employee due to a conflict of interest between honest game reviewing and advertiser’s interests, each and every comic and blog posting is relevant in some fashion to the happenings and goings-on in the video game industry.

His thoughts, sayings, and feelings, while perhaps separated by topic, are unified by the sense of cohesion his word choice gives it. 

That said, the fluidity of form doesn’t always translate to consistency of ideas.

In short, Tycho’s mind will meander from one topic to another but his treatment of those topics ensures that we can follow his lead.

Cold War Deception Coming Undone discusses alleged maneuvers that the British undertook under Margaret Thatcher intended on tricking the Swedish, and the rest of the world, into thinking that the Soviets were more aggressive than they really were.  The content is pretty relevant to my blog because it deals with military intelligence and deception in recent history.  The second blog is Hitler’s Lost Fleet. This blog entry deals with the recent discovery of some lost German warships from World War II.  It is an interesting historical tidbit - although I don’t know how much it relates to my blog.

Honestly, I don’t think that I am going to find a blog that exactly duplicates the intent/content of my blog simply because I have a pretty unique focus.  But this blog does deal with U.S. history analysis, with a particular focus on military history.  The purpose of this blog seems to be to draw parallels between historical and current events.  In a somewhat broad, this does mirror the purpose of my blog.

represent any actual history professor or academic institution.  This is not exactly the Harvard history blog.  That being said , the assumption from many of the posts is that the information being used is grounded in legitimate academic research.  The presence of certain advertisements and partisan logos do detract from the academic aura of the blog.  In terms of post length, Sauerwein’s average entries are pretty hefty.  Because of the nature of the content - and the scholarly attitude that the tries to portray - short, choppy posts would not necessarily work for him. 

professional academic.  The blog would not attract professionals in the field, but rather amatuers that are interested in military history. 

I hope that I will be able to refer to this blog somewhat when writing my own.  In a broad sense, it will be helpful to look at how Sauerwein weaves historical conclusions into present day topics while still keeping it interesting.  But there will definitely be stark differences between my blog and his blog.  In fact, there will be much more that the two blogs do NOT have in common compared to what they DO have in common.  It was useful, however, to read the blog and see the vantage point he wrote from - and the purpose behind the blog.  Realistically I will not refer to this blog that often but I feel better prepared to write my own after seeing Sauerwein’s blog postings.

on his comments about illegal downloading

I’m a 20 year old filmmaker and I’ve been making films since I was fifteen, and my goal is to break into Hollywood before the age of 23 . It’s a notorious age because many filmmakers have become successful at or around the age of 23: Steven Spielberg, Robert Rodriguez, Peter Jackson and many more.

On the road to breaking in, there are many different tried and true routes to take: make a feature and hope it does well at festivals, or take years climbing the ranks and hope to prove studios that you’re finally worthy of helming a big studio picture.

I will speak to faculty and interview several filmmakers on the cusp of breaking in and talk to them about their futures in the industry and hopefully start developing the art form.

Recently, he’s been getting a lot of attention on his comments about illegal downloading, links here and here.

This has lead to a jump in popularity, especially with bookmarking websites like Digg.com where his blog was Dugged here, but before that, he was dugged for sharing what he learned from World of Warcraft here.

This blog relates to my mine because a chunk of it has to deal with questions concerning the film industry and budding filmmakers hungry for knowledge on how to be successful and break in.

The posts are never overwhelmed with details and so he posts are never too long or too short, just right. If there’s a topic that needs to be discussed in length, what he does is split the posts into parts.

Furthermore, activities like blogging or on-the-job experiences can be more beneficial than a text book.

Blogging has recently opened up a new type of educational learning system for me. I have increased my confidence using the web 2.0 and I am now more aware of other bloggers and their entries. Most importantly I have found that I am interested in the blogger validity and updated news that is posted. This aspect of blogging is getting me to look up information posted on blogs and in turn educate myself through other forms of instruction that is not a typical OT class or text book.

1 Hello world!

Fixin’ Healthcare is Marcus Newberry’s blog

One of his most interesting posts ”Prevention Where TheyLive”  which is one of his shorter writings offers a wonderful message on prevention.

 ”Build prevention into the community and get it out of the medical setting wherever possible. Certainly, convenience and culture are important considerations. Patience, persistence and knowing the lay of the land count for a lot. Keep smiling and never give up. Prevention is a different ball game than diagnosis and treatment.”

Newberry writes with a certain style and well

Specifically, with the issue of a universal healthcare plan so important in the 2008 election I would be curious to read his take on the topic. 

Even the title of his blog seems to downplay his authority.

In removing the g from fixing one conjures thoughts of a southern accent (he is from the south after all), and in doing so it seems as if he is simply offering his thoughts on the issue rather than presenting them as ideas from someone of great authority.

Kidder’s book has inspired me to keep believing that.

Beyond mountains there are mountains.

This is perhaps one meaning behind this proverb.

When we climb one mountain, are we simply faced with the realization that there are more problems on the horizon?

Beyond mountains there are mountains. Is it better than to take the opposite view?

Does climbing one mountain simply present the opportunity to climb more, are our opportunities to change the world inexhaustible?
