Is this for real? I'd volunteer, but I am not as optimistic about the Mac as a publication would require. Plus I can't guarantee regular postings.

schwachs · Apr 22, 2005, 09:48 PM

it's for real.

Isn't the MacNN front page sort of like a blog?

Yes. I've always dreamed of being a blogger.
I'm ill-informed and opinionated. I'd be perfect for this.
Count me in.

i put my name in the hat.

i did it solely because if it sucked, then i would have no right to complain if i didn't offer help when they asked for it.

schwachs · May 13, 2005, 11:12 AM

Thanks for all the replies and sorry for the delays. I am sending you all emails now if you sent me PMs.

If you don't hear from me today, ping me again!

Ooops.

The print on my screen is small, so when I clicked on the title, I thought I read Macnn needs some Bloopers.

Besides, my eyesight is getting worse. I have to use 1.5x readers, and I may have to go to 2.0x soon.

I'm reading the posts, and I'm looking for info on the topic until I realize that it said bloggers.

Well, that's the first MacNN blooper right there.

Buckaroo · May 25, 2005, 10:47 PM

yup. I need stronger glasses.

Badgers...we don't need no STINKING Badgers.

Superchicken · Jun 14, 2005, 03:15 AM

Everyone thinks I should get a blog... maybe this'd fit me good?

turtle777 · Jun 15, 2005, 02:19 PM

I wish a some people would get a blog and reduce their posting in the lounge.

I hope you don't mind me licensing the CodyBlog trademark

Randman · Jun 19, 2005, 12:57 PM

Nope, the more the merrier. Might sink in.

driven · Jun 19, 2005, 08:30 PM

Is there a link to this blog on the main page? If so I'm hard pressed to find it.

(But I'm good at missing the obvious!)

starman · Jun 22, 2005, 02:42 PM

I don't think it's even started yet.

You don't want a smart assed, opinionated, provocotive (often insulting and infuriating to fuzzy liberals) current affairs blogger, who is ALWAYS Right (and seldom wrong) do you?

Cubeoid · Jul 14, 2005, 12:35 PM

Well blog me down.. an URL -->
http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=banish

and Yes. I'll become a macNN blogo.

UgL_Quicksilver · Jul 16, 2005, 03:00 AM

I'm Interested in this i have a blog located at http://iambobmarley.blogspot.com owned and been a mac person for 15 + years!

nonhuman · Jul 17, 2005, 07:58 PM

Do we have any stats for the MacNN blogs? Any idea of how many people, if any, are reading them?

hip(2)b⟡ · Jul 27, 2005, 11:33 PM

Hey, All:

My name is mentioned, here, I see.

I'm now posting under this moniker for a while (vs. Cody Dawg)

Anyway, I'd be up for blogging, but I haven't been feeling well for about a month. I've got a surgery scheduled on Monday the 1st (August) and hopefully I'll feel better after that. Maybe I'd blog for y'all at that point. It would certainly be an amusing blog, that's for sure, riddled with amusing sidelines regarding experiences with Apple and South Florida happenings.

I'm inclined to do it in honor of Randman, tho. He's the one who started the CodyBlog rant in the first place.

Cheers, all.

Randman · Jul 28, 2005, 01:45 AM

I thought you were Zimphire. Maybe it should be CodyBlawg™, but welcome aboard. Good luck on the surgery.

hip(2)b⟡ · Jul 28, 2005, 06:54 AM

Hi Randman: Shhhhh! Everyone else thinks I'm Zimph, also, I've heard.

Anyway, thanks for the well wishes, Randman. You are very sweet and I appreciate it. I haven't been feeling well for a while. I kept seeing one person after another, even admitted to the hospital for some tests. Finally, two days ago, they found a mass near the lower base of my spine and I'm having it removed on Monday. At least I know I'm not crazy - it's weird to feel sick and have one doctor after another say, "But there is nothing there - we can't find anything wrong."

In the meantime I have some kickass Darvocet to take.

Have a great day, Randman!
