I am testing out a new WordPress plug in that will post a daily digest of twitter updates and post any new blog posts on The MeowSplash to twitter. (Yes, it is now officially ‘The MeowSplash’

- We’re a month into the baseball season and I have hope for the Yankees.

- My fantasy team is doing well. Go Federalists!

- I’m working out on a regular basis again. My secret? SET THE ALARM CLOCK EARLY AND GET OUT OF BED! Works for me.

- I bought the book ‘The Abs Diet’ on recommendation of Rodney Mendez. It’s oddly put together but the general themes are good. Eat healthy and be aware of what you are eating. Everyone can get behind that.

The first post is always the most important or is it the least imporant?  Who knows.  I´m trying to find my voice and theme here for Meowsplash what I am hoping for is that this blog/site/whatever the hell it is can be a place where anyone who wants to (or at least that I like) can post things talk about their loves or whatever.

Can I be like BlogHer without being a mom?

I suppose the model would be BlogHer (If you don´t know what it is look up) .  I love the idea of a federated site where people I know,  people I consider smart who might not have the wherewithall to start their own sites or content dumps could have a place to post their stuff.    Maybe we can break all the successful blog ¨rules” and simply post things and see what sticks?  If someone become more popular or is the better wrtter than good for them I´d  would never want to prevent someone for charging forward.

Itś like having a Gym buddy.

While I fool myself into believing I go to the gym -  if I had someone to go to the gym with it would be really helpful in actually getting there.  I think producing content is like that for me.  I am not such an egoist that I would write,  or can write that well or enough to satisfy a blog on my own. However,  as  group of people with different strengths and areas of expertise I think producing content could be fun.  Freed from corporate goals or needs for page views or unique visitors maybe,  just maybe fun could be had.  Like I said,  if I had a buddy to take me to the gym we all would push each other forward into breach.

Competition is good.

So I am sounding like a capitalist pig, so what?  Itś effective!  In some areas pure competition is good.  In sports,  in writing and in products pure competing delivers the best products.  If the  Meowplash collective can push each other with regards to posts,  comments or whatever metrics we want to compete on than weĺl have a good site or at least one we think is good.

What do you think?  Am I talking out of my anus?  Do you want to contribute?  Get involved.  Let me know.
