I told myself I would never stoop to such a level as having a website I didn’t code myself.  But then I succumbed.

Dan told me that in order to have a good blog I can’t just talk about
what I’ve been up to.  I need to talk about the ideas I’m having
and try to make my blog something worth reading.  Challenge
accepted.

My first big idea:  I’ve tried to eliminate my usage of
exclamation points recently.  I realized that if what I’m saying
needs an exclamation point in order to get its point across, I haven’t
written it effectively.  I often catch myself putting exclamation
points on every other sentence of emails I write, especially the CORe
Digest.  I might leave them in for the CORe Digest since I’m not
exactly going to take the trouble to strip them out by hand from what
people send me.

If you’re not from Olin you probably don’t care one bit about the CORe
Digest.  For the curious, I put out a weekly email newsletter to
the campus as part of my role on the student government.

to add a different perspective…even if you are from Olin, you may very will not care about the CORe digest. good luck blogging.

Grant, any attempt to improve the digest is time well spent.  I would, however, encourage you to think about spending some time on Monday nights at The Skellig in Waltham where there’s a weekly trivia competition.  Winner gets money and beer.  1st loser gets free tshirts.  Interested?

Of course you know I’d be up for it, Mr. Cecil.

I’m going to this place in Oklahoma City that does something similar once I return for a couple weeks right before the semester starts. I’ll tell you how that goes.

And I’ve been confirmed for a second tryout for Who Wants to Be A Millionaire on July 15. Wish me luck.

I can’t wait until we can get into some NAQT meets and kick some Boston-area butts.
