I've Gone Into FLYPmode

Now I consider myself an online reader. I probably spend about three hours a day reading articles and watching video clips on ESPN.com and Yahoo! While I've been happy with the time spent on those pages, there's always been a little voice inside of me that has wanted to expand my Internet horizons. Unfortunately, I am extremely lazy when it comes to web browsing and the tabs on my Internet window are the only ones I visit.

By some luck, though, I decided to join an online journalism class that requires me to use the Internet more than I usually do, and FLYPmedia came into my life. It's essentially an online magazine, except the people who write for the web page can also post audio recordings and videos.

There are twenty-three topics to look through, from the basics of sports, music, and design to Barack Obama. Some of the articles within the topics remind me of reading an actual magazine, while others remind me of something written by my illiterate friend back home in Wisconsin.

I wish I had link for that last comparison but I can't even tell you how awful his writing is, so I'll take that one back and apologize to the FLYPmedia writers I compared him to.

Anyways, there are also numerous blogs that you can follow. Not to mention podcasts as well. The selections seem almost endless with hundreds of people contributing to FLYPmedia.

The sports and music sections were the ones that caught my eye, with future eyes set on food and science. That's right, I'm possibly going to look at new things. Say something about it. Call me at 2-6-... On second thought, I probably shouldn't give out my number on my first written post.

So tell me, which topics interest you?

Peace and Love,

Nico
