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.

    author for your weblog. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset.

    If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love
    to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link
    back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested.

  12. Amazing blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a
    paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m
    totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Many thanks!

  15. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after

  16. Based in Florida, Sky blue charge is a credit repair firm that was created in 1989.
    The organization claims that many consumers see tangible results after the first 30 days
    of use. Moreover, the company argues that customers use their services for just six months to achieve complete outcomes.
    When utilizing sky blue, you can expect to
    benefit the couple’s discount, online credit checks, and monitoring.

    Throughout your membership, you are able to cancel or pause the service by calling customer
    service. If you are unhappy with the service, you
    will receive a ccomplete refund as long as you maintain it within 90 days.
    Besides the benefits, skies blue has some related drawbacks as well.
    Before beginning the credit repair process, you are going
    to have tto pay $39.95 for recovery of your credit report.
    Despite not having the assurance for results, you’ll need to pay $69 to prepare
    the process. The sad part is you may cover months without seeing substantial progress in your report.
    You should make your choices carefully since going through the process of
    credit repair iis not affordable.

    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
    said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed

    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

    more useful than ever before.
