Updated regularly throughout the day with humorous commentary on various sports related topics, and has a large number of commenters that keep the humor going. One of the best days of my young blogging "career" was having a post that I had written on my own site get put up there after I had e-mailed a link over. I felt like my writing and effort had been validated in some way because a popular site like that thought it was so good that they made it the main focus of some of their content.

How do you think the phrase came about?! It actually does come from the literary magazine The New Yorker. The phrase derives from the fact that many writers' dream is to write for The New Yorker.

Perhaps have one or two readers that find my sense of humor amusing and laugh with me. Provide a service that people find fills a need they have. Most importantly, I'm having fun doing it.

I quite enjoy reader the New Yorker magazine.. not the literary one, the other one (online at nymag.com-- they've got an article on steve jobs this week). My New Yorker is also Lifehack! And dumblittleman too, since my blog is on personal development. I'm going to try to contribute to them... I would absolutely love to be linked to by them! I also admire StevePavlina, though I don't agree with all his philosophies. I greatly admire his hard work, and a link from him would be fabulous! And obviously, I love Problogger! It's outside of my topic though... Love this article!

I never really thought it through to be honest, but to be honest I am an admirer of most of the blogs in my feedreader. Some of them are huge, some of them not so much. I guess my goal is more to make a name for myself than for my blog to become insanely popular, though I suppose in many ways those two things are connected. My New Yorker eh?

And timely for me. First, I've been contemplating applying for some paid blogging work at a site whose typical posts, while compelling, are completely outside my sweet spot - not the kind of writing I usually do at all. And second, I picked up a couple of magazines last night and read them over dinner (I'm on a solo business trip this week) and thought, "Bingo! This is it, this is the kind of stuff I'd really love to sink my teeth into and write." The magazines? Popular Mechanics and Popular Science. I'm a hopeless geek. ;) Ooh – great question!

I guess mine would be to get printed in any traditional media. That would mean that my blog was noticed, and my writing style "approved" for the masses. I know that, in many ways, traditional media is going the way of the dinosaurs. But to me, it would be the ultimate to get PUBLISHED in any way, shape, or form. Once I reach that goal, I am sure I will get a new one, like to write a book. Until then, there is my blog.... I love that term “My New Yorker” – it reminds me of being young and innocent.

Inventiveness my friends! We have enough gizmodos already ! X))) I don’t have one, I have many! ;)
