Transition!

No, I have not forgotten about this blog, but I may soon...

I have taken the advise of a few of my dedicated readers here, and I am now working on putting together a website that will cater to politics, movie reviews, games, books and current news. True, that does sound like a bit much, but think of it as a Drudge Report meets American Thinker with Rotten Tomatoes and Reading for Sanity all mixed together in perfect harmony. Well, as perfect as we can get it.

The website is called loudping.com (You can click on that link, but the website is under construction with joomla web manager.)

Odd? Yeah, well, we spent a week trying to find a name that isn't taken. Don't think because you type "wiseguys" into a url, and nothing shows up, means it isn't taken. Nope. There is an internet registry with millions of squatters sitting on cool names, which you can buy or lease from them. For example, you can buy kari.com for $63,000, if you are so interested. Or, you could lease "wiseguys" for $79.00 for 3 years. So I went through a crapload of creative names, including 100 Latin words, some Greek, one Swahili, and anything else I could think of. No dice. I haphazardly mentioned "loudping" to my associates and it was unanimous. I was shocked! And it was free -- no cost for us.s

Right, I said "we." Considering how often I update my blog (which here after will be even less), I cannot command enough reason to have a website, unless like-minded people offer to help keep it fresh. So, essentially a bunch of friends of mine have come together with our common sense to address today's issues. Again, not specifically politics, but there will be a focus on that aspect especially by yours truly.

The website will be fully functional by the end of the month, and we'll continue to adjust it as we find our direction. I will be bringing in outside articles from my favorite sites -- typically the ones I site in my own articles -- for people to peruse. Again, I am trying to make a 'one stop shop' for politics because there are a lot of good articles out there, but no one source to find them. Of course, it'll be subject to my bias.

So, I hope you all can make the transition to loudping with me as this was basically your idea as some of you have expressed before on my blog. Rest assured, we are not just now coming together on this. Actually, we have very long debates on our 13 panel email exchange and after being chastised there as well as here, it became evident that we should be discussing these out in the open for others to opine on as well. We're not traditional experts, we won't pretend to be, but we do feel that more of this information needs to be public for the record. We'll have forums for discussing the topics, too. Most of you will already know some of the other contributors to this website, by the way.

And yes, I'll do a movie review on The Little Mermaid... filthy flighty fish.
