Hello World

There is always a bit of awkwardness in a first interaction, so I will break the ice with an introduction.  My name is Phil.  I am 24, live in New York City, and work in finance which I was trained to do at the illustrious Stern school of business at NYU.  Beyond any formal training, finance, business, and the confluence of the two are subjects I’ve been interested in for quite some time now.

I recently built a site: www.wrestlingontv.com.  I was (and still am) a huge fan of amateur wrestling, but find it very hard to track when the world’s oldest (as in first sport in almost every culture known to man) and greatest sport will be on TV, or even streaming on the internet.  I’m guessing the same problem goes for a lot of fans of non revenue, tertiary sports.  So, I am trying to develop a scalable model to track all of the wonderful coverage that my sport deserves and make it easy for others to know when they can enjoy this coverage.

I started with close zero technical ability (unless you count building really long formulas in excel, or that one week in 8th grade I spent learning BASIC in the hills of Western Massachusetts).  Therefore, I thought it would be helpful to document some of the resources I used to learn a bit of PHP, Drupal, MySQL, etc.  Also, I have a much more ambitious and involved project which will hopefully develop over the next several weeks and months which will be a lot of fun to write about.

While I’m keeping the newer project a bit of a secret for now (something most VCs would probably frown upon and call me paranoid for), I think that a lot of what I’m learning about SEO, databases, etc will be worthwhile to post.

I also am excited to write about my thoughts on the economics behind everything from Night Life to Brooklyn Kickball.  Please stay tuned, and send me an email if you are so inclined.

  5. Simply want to say your article is as amazing.

    The clarity in your post is simply nice and i could assume you’re an expert on this
    subject. Fine with your permission let me to grab your RSS feed to keep updated with forthcoming post.
    Thanks a million and please carry on the enjoyable work.

  6. I really love your website.. Excellent colors & theme.
    Did you create this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my own site and would
    like to find out where you got this from or what the theme is named.

    Many thanks!

  7. Hey there! I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and
    give you a shout out from Porter Texas! Just wanted
    to say keep up the excellent job!

    My web-site; timberland

  11. I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

  15. I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else
    experiencing problems with your site. It looks like
    some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else
    please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening
    to them too? This could be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had
    this happen before. Many thanks

  16. Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Thank you so much, However I am experiencing troubles with your RSS.
    I don’t understand why I can’t subscribe to it. Is there anybody getting
    identical RSS issues? Anybody who knows the solution will you kindly respond?
    Thanks!!

  17. I was suggested this blog by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as
    nobody else know such detailed about my trouble. You’re incredible!
    Thanks!

  23. Great post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am inspired!
    Very useful info particularly the last section 🙂 I take care of
    such information a lot. I used to be looking for this particular info
    for a long time. Thank you and good luck.

    here every stuff is quality based material.

  36. Hey! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.

    Does running a well-established website such as yours require a massive amount work?
    I’m brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal daily.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my
    experience and views online. Please let me know if you have
    any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.

    Appreciate it!

  39. I’m excited to find this great site. I want to to thank you for your time
    for this particularly fantastic read!! I definitely loved
    every part of it and I have you book marked to check
    out new information in your web site.

  40. My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of
    your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content to suit your
    needs? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on most of
    the subjects you write with regards to here. Again, awesome website!

  42. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to
    get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
    would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so
    I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  43. I think that what you said made a great deal of sense.
    But, what about this? suppose you were to create a killer headline?
    I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid., however suppose you
    added a title that makes people desire more? I mean Hello World – Phil Strazzulla's Blog is kinda plain. You could look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they write post titles to get people to click.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve
    written. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more interesting.

  44. Good post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
    It’s always interesting to read through content from other
    writers and practice a little something from
    other web sites.

  47. I was more than happy to discover this great site.

    I want to to thank you for your time for this
    particularly fantastic read!! I definitely appreciated
    every little bit of it and i also have you book-marked to see
    new information on your site.
