Fresdork moves up to Fresgeek

I've been writing this blog for a long time (in blog years). It started over here but the Dorktown Podcast took that over and I moved my blog over here.

Well, I'm moving again.

Please check out my new website over at thefresnan.com. There will still be some posts here but all of the posts will be over there and eventually this blog will be just archives.

Sorry for the little hicup and I hope everyone that's subscribed to the Dorktown blog will join us over at The Fresnan.

Less dork, more geek.

Fresno on the in looking outside

Recently, a neighborhood blogging website called outside.in did a list of America's Bloggiest Cities.  Boston and Philly were determined to be the top cities for local bloggging.

Fresno didn't make the top ten.  Fresno wasn't even in their top 54.

Boise and Reno were amongst those 54 cities.  OH HELLLL NO!  They can kick our ass in football, but they can't blog better than us...can they?

This could not stand.

So I took it upon myself to write a smart and scathing email to outside.in...alright, it wasn't smart or even scathing...I just begged them to include Fresno on their website.  It worked.  This is the quote I got back:

Thanks for the heads up about Fresno! You were right, Fresno is definitely outside.in city-worthy. Enjoy!

Hells yes. Fresno is on the blogging map and gaining ground in the blogsphere.  So if you have a Fresno blog that would fit the site or just want to point out some places that should be on the Fresno page, go on over and check it out.

Here we come Boise, you blogging badasses.

FRESNO ST. TAILGATE BLOG: UPDATE 2

Nerd blogging experiment alert! Trying our first timeline blog from the parking lots of Fresno State, before the Sac' State vs Fresno State game. If (and that's a big IF) we can get some internet connections. Refresh this blog throughout the day, up until tonight's game.

TIME: 2:15 BEERS DRANK: 0 HOT LADIES SEEN: 0 COACH FUMANCHU SIGHTINGS: 0
Heading out to purchase some fine beers and pickup Reggie the Caruthers Connection. Hope the next blog comes from Dorktown's tailgate party. If you see nothing updated below this post by five, then it didn't work...and we suck.

TIME: 12:10 AM - SATURDAY NIGHT:
Yes, well aahh, obviously, the live blogging didn't work. There was actually free WiFi but I couldn't get my official POS Dorktown Laptop to connect to it. So there ya go.

The Bulldogs won. Pat Hill's the most boring play caller in history. Enough said.

A season of blogging and beer begins...maybe

Saturday, Dorktown's gonna begin a season of blogging from our Fresno State football tailgates. I hope to be doing it live, but that's unlikely. We are starting out in the Library lot then moving on to the North Gym lot. If I can pick up some magical wireless Internet in one of the lots (real doubtful), I'll be doing a timeline blog from our tailgate.

I will try to start close to 4:00. If you're around your computer before the game, check it out, you might find some nerd blogging as he downs Negra Modelos.

Dorktown's braving the heat like good Fresno soldiers. Lets hope it doesn't bring folks down like it did last year when EMTs had to get involved:



I'm not the only one blogging about Fresno State today. Check this crazyass blog I found: Coach Fumanchu Blog
