Tumblr vs. a Social Network
I have profiles on facebook, linkedin, and a few other social networks. I spend almost no time on any of them. I am starting to see my tumblr as my social profile rather than my blog. Facebook and the like serve a purpose to keep me in touch with friends, find out what they are doing, and letting others know what I am up to. I do this through a series of wall posts, personal messages,...

Thinking about projections
I read deadspin regularly and came across this article there. First, it’s hilarious. Second, I wonder what EA basis their projections (which is basically what their player ratings are) on? They missed on this guy in a big way…he is going to the pro-bowl.
Authorization Be Damned
From the Silicon Alley Insider : “Whitman is said to be asking detailed questions about the logistics of a run and the effect she could have as governor, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal the conversations.” He/she didn’t ask to be anonymous because it wasn’t authorized, but because he didn’t...

Something I need to invent
I need to invent two fantasy games. One that extends the length of the NFL playoffs and one that is a week to week game. The ones that exist right now suck. The Cowboys lost last night and I am no longer interested in the NFL. I wont be visiting ESPN or CBS for NFL related news, rumors, or predictions. I have moved completely to my NBA fantasy team and focusing on NBA and MLB news. CHALQ...

Open/Free Player Projections?
I am looking for Open/Free player projection systems for MLB, NFL, NCAA, NBA, and NHL. Right now I am narrowing down MLB projections, both projections based on human judgement and algorithms. The Marcel system looks to be free and open although I am not clear on whether CHALQ would be allowed to redistribute the projections without a license. Anyone have any thoughts? I am open to any...
I want more fantasy teams
One of the things I hope we nail at CHALQ is a way to manage multiple fantasy teams. More than 2. I want to have 6-10 football teams and have it not take me 2 hours a day to manage. When I set out to promote CHALQ and get people I am close to excited about playing, I think I will be starting and joining a huge number of leagues. I want to be able to stay competitive in all of them. No one...
Another brilliant move by the NCAA! →
