Ryan Howard- My contributions to this article dealt with Howard's slump that he has been in this year. Secondly, i added some information that dealt with his overall stature and player info about him. Thirdly i added that he went on the DL, and that he is expected to come off the DL this friday to play against the Braves.

Chelsea- Recently I added that during the 2007 season, Didier Drogba led Chelsea and the FA premier league with 33 goals this season.

Finally i added some information about Bonds in regards to him being drafted by the Giants out of high school but instead he decided to go to Arizona State University.

Final Wiki Edits

Ryan Howard- I updated Howard's wiki article under the subtitle of 2007. I just added some recent news that he will be coming off of the DL this Friday to play against the Atlanta braves. In the mean time he will be serving a rehab assignment for Lakewood-A on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

Chelsea FC- I added a small bit to the Records section that said that Chelsea's Ivory Coast native striker Didier Drogba led the premiership this year with 33 goals.

Tiger Woods- I updated, other ventures, in the Tiger Woods wiki article. More specifically I added information on the Tiger Wood's Jam X that is to take place May 26, 2007. Jon Bon Jovi will be headlining the concert and special guest Daughtry will kick off the night.

Barry Bonds- For the Bonds wiki article I simply just took the liberty to add to the salary part of his article. I just added that he had signed for a one year deal that would pay him 18.5 million dollars a year. This would also help him continue to chase the all-time home run record.

Alex Nasseh's blog

It looks as if Alex has completed his required posts also for BUAD 477. His template looks good and his wiki updates are interesting. I was reading one of his recent posts and he was talking about a blog post that dealt with the new privacy issues that are arising with google. I found it very interesting to know that google would like to track people's searches on the internet. But to check out his blog, click here

Nintendo Wii vs XBOX 360

In this Scobleizer blog post, Mr. Scoble talks about how he traditionally has been an Xbox fan above and beyond everything else. Except he just got his hands on a nintendo wii and found it to be a lot more interactive with a ton of games that are offered. He also goes on to say that after you get started playing a wii, it is so interactive that you forget that the graphics are not as great as a 360 or playstation 3. Halo 2, the most played video game in the past 5 years is coming out with a sequel Halo3 later this summer and it apparently is not getting the reviews it hoped for. I know my roomate has the regular Xbox and my close friends and I could not stop playing Halo2 for almost a year and a half. The live version of Halo is one of the most addicting games I have ever come across, since i had regular nintendo when i was a little kid. Scoble also goes on to talk about how Microsoft could of done a lot more work when designing the new controller's for the 360. I tend to agree and disagree at the same time. The new 360 controllers are much more convenient than the old xbox controller's because they are wireless. On the other hand, the wii controller's are phenomenal compared to anything else because they create the whole atmosphere for gameplay. The nintendo Wii gets you up off the couch and moving around whether its swinging a bat in a baseball game, or its throwing a backhand in their interactive tennis game. To me, I believe that nintendo Wii is one step ahead of the competition with its interactive controller, and I think microsoft and sony should be worried.

Vanity Search

Well, after finally doing a vanity search on myself on google, I found out that there is a famous band called the Tim Harrington band that dominates the search results. I looked in to see what kind of band and music it is that they played and was astonished to find out that this man that also has my name is either crazy or just realllly weird. Of the 14,000,000 search results i also found out that there is a Tim Harrington who resigned as the CEO of a company called FOGDOG. Another guy was an animator for a bunch of different movies, and the list goes on and on. But as for my blog, it must be at the bottom of the totem pole because i've been looking through the search results and still have yet to find it. The good thing is that none of the search results seem to be negative, which is something i can be happy about. But other than that, my blog is way at the bottom of the list when it comes to the search.
