Ben the Blogger

In an attempt to improve my skills as a writer and to focus my thoughts on something I am held responsible for, I have decided to team up with the gentlemen at the Digital Media Zone.  Josh Pollard heads up a website dedicated to bringing you content about Microsoft entertainment products and digital media.  While I am grossly under-qualified and light on blogging experience, they saw some potential in me and I thank them for that.

My first post came out last week on Tuesday.  Bent on hazing, Josh initiated me with the task of writing about Paul the Male Matchmaker, a Hulu original.  While not the most thought provoking idea to discuss, I made the best of it with a little humor and cynicism.  My second article gave prudence to Kinect for Windows Media Center and its connection with higher household medical spending.  This article actually has a poll in it, which is pretty sweet.  Most people are responding the way I thought they would.  No one really wants to wave around at their TV like Minority Report.

While my career as a blogger is infantile and petty (and free at this point), it is headed in the right direction.  In addition to my work on the DMZ, I am continuing my work on SimplPixl to chronical the ups and downs of a small bootstrapped startup company.  January saw a lull in my tech life, but February is definitely turning out to be the beginnings of ultimate domination.
