Hi, again. I'm in the process of turning this profile into something that will be more of a blog. A recurring theme will be my attempts to build on what I've seen on some of the sites I've reviewed; what did I learn from visiting them, what subjects did they touch on, etc. You might have noticed the continued post format I was playing around with on the Draka and Steak Porn Video reviews; expect to see more of that, with some of the short, one-liner reviews moved into the spaces between the essays. What I'm trying to get away from is the idea of Stumbleupon as a bookmarking site, as I move toward making this into a site that one can simply sit down and feel comfortable reading; more like a magazine and less like a phonebook, or something like that.

Comments about Stumbleupon related drama, past and present, can be found elsewhere, if you really want to read about that for some reason. Browser selection - Please pardon the imperious tone in my comments above, but Stumbleupon surprised us by changing the background color on our pages. In IE, my blog has a black background, and you can see the links. In Firefox and Chrome, the background is white, so you can't, unless you have logged into Stumbleupon, in which case you might see a black background even after you log out, again. Very silly. I can't imagine what they were thinking about, when they did this. It definitely damages the functionality of our pages, and causes a needless headache for visitors to SU. I regret any inconvenience, but would point out that this wasn't my idea or doing, and that unlike the SU staff, I have no say in it. If you'd like to know when this will be fixed, they're the ones to ask. I wouldn't have the faintest idea, myself.

Early on in my association with SU I did, however, freely hand out negative reviews if I felt the person deserved it. Over time I decided the effort spent was not worth it; negative energy and all of that. This gentleman has given me pause to re-evaluate that position, at least for his consideration. Rarely in my personal and professional experience have I met a more self-important, condescending prig. Just take a stroll through his blog and you will quickly realize what I am saying. He brings this same attitude to the forums as well; even while asking for assistance. He must be a real joy to be around in the flesh. Then again, Internet Tough Guys are usually milquetoasts in reality. He's received seven reviews; four of which he's hidden and of the remaining three one is an entry made by himself. That should tell you something.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/josephdunphy.stumbleupon.com Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:14:37 -0700 http://jenjen1352.stumbleupon.com/review/22596694/ jenjen1352 - Reasoned arguments and wit. I enjoyed my visit here immensely.
