Metro-North In The House

Furthering my self-improvement by learning PHP experiment, I’ve tinkered a bit more with SimplePie. It took me about an hour to  whip together Metro-North Bloggers, a collection of feeds from bloggers in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Duchess and Fairfield Counties – AKA, the northern New York suburbs.

In digging around for feeds, I’ve found there are a whole lot more bloggers in the area than I initially suspected. Hopefully some of my newly found blogging friends will add their feeds.

Next steps are offering the ability to subscribe to individual feeds, or the the whole shebang. I’d also like to color the headlines in the color of each Metro-North line, i.e., blue for someone who lives on the Harlem line, red for the New Haven line, etc.

A more ambitious goal is a means of auto-submission of feeds so I don’t have to manually add each new feed to the script that generates the page.

Happy Birthday cont…

Speaking of significant dates, it was sometime earlier this month that this blog celebrated its fourth anniversary.

I had already been blogging for a couple of years at another location but the convergance of media, marketing, public relations and social media was too tempting a target so I abadoned my career as a daddy blogger and (if I’m not mistaken) I became PR blogger number 140-something.

Back then you could count all the significant marketing bloggers on your hands and toes. Now … well you know.

Here’s one of my early posts, where I think I really started hitting my stride.

My daughters insist I look like a guy named Stanley. I prefer to think of them as 10th Doctor – esque.

Marketplace On The Swimsuit Issue

First cover (1964)

Marketplace radio interviewed me for a story on how Sports Illustrated is marketing the upcoming Swimsuit Issue. The full story is here.

There’s a bigger story about the decline in print publications and how they are struggling to stay relevant not only to their readers but to their advertisers. But until I get to that, please feel free to crack wise about me and the swimsuit issue.
