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.

  1. I think that everything typed was actually
    very logical. But, consider this, what if you typed a
    catchier title? I am not suggesting your information isn’t solid, however what if you added a headline to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean Hello World –
    Phil Strazzulla's Blog is kinda boring. You should look at Yahoo’s
    home page and note how they write article titles to get viewers to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve
    got to say. In my opinion, it could bring your blog a
    little bit more interesting.

  22. Thanks , I have just been searching for info approximately this topic for a long time and yours is the best I’ve discovered so far.

  23. Betroffen von einem möglichen Verbot wären in Hamburg über
    100 Tattoostudios. In Deutschland hat der Körperkult im Jahre 1946 mit einem Studio in der Hansestadt seinen Anfang genommen, wie Lickefett erzählt.
    Die durch das Verbot veränderte Farbpalette ließe sich möglicherweise nicht mehr so gut verarbeiten, mutmaßt der Betreiber der ältesten Tätowierstube Deutschlands,
    Sebastian Makowski. Mit meiner Anmeldung zum Newsletter
    stimme ich der Werbevereinbarung zu. Mögliche Ersatzstoffe
    könnten in Anbetracht von Farbbrillanz oder Haltbarkeit keine wirklichen Alternativen darstellen. Ein Verbot der Pigmente “Blau 15” und
    “Grün 7” habe auch drastische Folgen für den Verbraucherschutz, warnt der Bundesverband Tattoo.
    Nach einer eigenen Untersuchung der Inhaltsstoffe aller handelsüblichen Tattoo-Farben enthielten fast
    zwei Drittel aller Farben die beiden Pigmente.
    Ein Verbot wäre eine Katastrophe für alle Farbtätowierer und deren Kunden, sagte Tschiggy
    Lindner, Inhaberin von “Bubblegum Tattoo” auf dpa-Anfrage.
    Unter dem Druck der Nachfrage könnten Hersteller und Tätowierer verzweifelte Wege gehen, befürchtet Lickefett.
    Demnach könnten Anbieter beispielsweise ihre Produkte als Künstlerfarben umdeklarieren, um sich dadurch dem Verbot zu entziehen. Im Oktober eröffnet Edding im Chilehaus ein eigenes Tattoostudio mit Farben aus eigener Produktion. Nach
    Herstellerangaben enthalten die Farben keine Konservierungsstoffe und auch die Pigmente “Blau 15” und “Grün 7” sucht man vergebens: “Eddings Tattoo-Farben verwenden diese Pigmente und weitere Stoffe nicht, sind daher zukünftig EU-konform”, hieß
    es von der Pressestelle. In Hamburg gibt es aber nicht
    nur das erste Tattoostudio Deutschlands – sondern womöglich auch bald das erste Studio, das von einem Schreibwarenhersteller geführt wird.
    Das Projekt befinde sich aber noch ganz am Anfang.
    Als unmittelbare Lösung der Probleme, die sich
    durch ein mögliches Verbot der Pigmente ergeben würden, seien die eigenen Farben ohnehin nicht
    gedacht, sagt er. Das liegt auch daran, dass der Laden im Herzen Hamburgs laut Knebelkamp zunächst das einzige Tattoostudio sein soll, das die
    Edding-Farben benutzt.
