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. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    However just imagine if you added some great graphics
    or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content
    is excellent but with pics and videos, this blog could definitely be
    one of the very best in its field. Wonderful blog!

  2. I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog.
    Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either
    way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.

  3. Die Symbiose aus feinstem weißem Sand und das azurblaue
    Wasser des Mittelmeers verwandeln den ebenfalls als Cala
    Son Moll bekannten Strand in einen Ort mit magischer Anziehungskraft.
    Zahlreiche das Küstengebiet umgebende Hotels trüben die Stimmung an dieser 150 Meter langen und
    50 Meter breiten Wohlfühloase nicht im Geringsten. Denn am Platja de Son Moll herrscht
    stets reges Treiben, das Badegäste jeden Alters in den Bann zieht.
    Da die ersten Meter der Badebucht sehr flach abfallen,
    können Kinder in diesem Badebereich nach Herzenslust planschen. Wer sich mit einem kühlen Drink erfrischen oder seinen Gaumen mit kleinen Snacks verwöhnen möchte, findet direkt am Strand eine kleine Strandbar.
    Da die nahe gelegene Promenade den Platja de Son Moll direkt mit dem Ortskern verbindet,
    sind kleine Boutiquen, Straßencafés und Restaurants nicht weit.
    Wer auf einen Liegestuhl und einen Sonnenschirm nicht verzichten möchte, sollte zur
    Sommerzeit früh zum Strand kommen, um sich eines der heiß begehrten Utensilien zu sichern. Eine Anfahrt zur Cala
    Son Moll erfolgt über die Straße nach Sa Font de sa
    Cala auf südlicher Seite des Hafens von Cala Ratjada.
    Da der Strand von mehreren kostenfreien Parkplätzen umgeben ist, steht einer Anreise dabei Fahrzeug nichts im Wege.
    Allerdings sind die Mehrheit Parkplätze in der Hauptsaison ebenfalls schon in der Vormittagszeit belegt.
