Today I've got mostly random comments on a variety of subjects. First the smaller items...
AFANA was thrilled to be listed in the LangaList newsletter this past weekend. It also gave the web site a nice bump in traffic.
On the other hand, a BBS I won't mention (which caters to a less than savory crowd), linked to one of our pages recommending us a source for footy videos which just happen to show footy players less than fully dressed. Yea, there are a couple videos on offer by the Australian manufacturer which feature scenes intended to be humorous, taken from locker rooms or streakers, etc. If they want to buy thru us, we'll take their money but it's not the kind of promotion we're looking for (pun intended).
Thanks to all those who've given this blog a plug. It's getting growing traffic and I appreciate that. If you write a blog then tell me about it please.
For everyone in the USA or Canada who has completed our survey so far, thanks. We're going to have great data for our future efforts.
A correspondent inquired recently what my background was, undoubtedly assuming it must be in sports management or television. None of the above. I was born in Columbus, Ohio but moved so many times as child I really don't consider it "home". I've lived on both coasts and lots of places in between, most recently California and West Virginia. I got my college education at MIT and Ohio State. I majored in mathematics. I then pursued an aerospace engineering career working on a number of military and commercial aircraft projects and on the Space Shuttle program in the aftermath of the Challenger accident. I still consider myself a "rocket scientist". My interests include book collecting, amateur astronomy, reading, wine appreciation, travel, the women in my life, and this sport played down under. I am divorced and my daughter is 4 1/2 years old. Now you know.
