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.

  14. Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering

  24. First of all I want to say great blog! I had
    a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts before writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Many thanks!

  25. Hier oben ist es doch schrecklich einsam! „Piep, piep!” sagte da eine kleine Maus und huschte hervor; und dann kam noch eine kleine. Sie beschnüffelten den Tannenbaum, und dann schlüpften sie zwischen seine Zweige. ” sagten die kleinen Mäuse.

    „Es ist eine greuliche Kälte! „Sonst ist hier nütze sein; nicht wahr, du alter Tannenbaum?
    „Ich bin in keiner Beziehung alt! ” sagte der Tannenbaum; „es gibt viele, die weit älter sind denn ich! „Woher kommst du?” fragten die Mäuse,
    „und was weißt du? ” Sie waren gewaltig neugierig. „Erzähle uns doch von den schönsten Orten auf Erden! Bist du in der Speisekammer gewesen, wo Käse auf den Brettern liegen und Schinken unter der Decke hängen, wo man auf Talglicht tanzt, mager hineingeht und fett herauskommt? Bist du dort gewesen? ” Und dann erzählte er dann war’s das seiner Jugend.
    Die kleinen Mäuse hatten früher nie dergleichen gehört,
    sie horchten auf und sagten: „Wieviel du gesehen hast!
    „Das kenne ich nicht”, sagte der Baum; „aber den Wald kenne ich, wo die Sonne scheint und die Vögel singen! Wie glücklich du gewesen bist! „Ich?” sagte der Tannenbaum und dachte über das, was er
    selbst erzählte, nach. „Ja, es waren im Kern ganz fröhliche
    Zeiten!

    and don’t manage to get anything done.

  45. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout 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 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
