Something of a Milestone I guess

So believe it or not I have sailed right past 100 posts here at Thought Central. There have not been nearly as many comments as posts. This not all that surprising I suppose. Occasionally one or two will trickle in and that's nice. I guess I can delude myself that many are reading but have nothing to say ;) Oh well. It's enjoyable in itself I suppose and a good way to get my ideas out of my head. Hopefully going forward I will put a few more of those kinds of things in rather than simply commenting on articles as I have usually done.

For those that are reading and are curious what the future holds, here is a rough idea to clue you in. There will be more YouTube and Google videos. I am thinking about more creative ways of incorporating the music videos like I did with a couple here recently in video battles. I may also try to feature a different artist every so often, like weekly kind of like I had started to do before. The key element there is the actual introduction of new artists, not just new videos by the same artists as before. I hadn't intended to go that route originally, so I will try to stick with introducing new artists. As time goes on, I may reintroduce some that haven't been featured in a while, but I will try to keep that to a minimum. Then there are the videos of either odd or funny things. Lets not forget the occasional news like or op ed videos like Glenn Beck's most recent one I had posted.

I would like to come up with certain periodic features that could be consistent and predictable, but hopefully still interesting. Maybe an issue of the month or something. This could consist of a single condensed post on that topic or maybe a series of posts with different takes on the item of choice. Other ideas are of course welcome, but don't worry I will think of something.
I will continue to find thought provoking and/or interesting articles of varied subject matter. I would like to set some sort of quota for myself but I am afraid that might lead to lesser quality pieces being thrown in during my more harried moments. I'll see what I can come up with on that.

I would also like to more consistently feature OU related stories or posts. I think I went way overboard on the prep for the Fiesta Bowl. I do think all of those videos were worth watching, but I also think it was way too much in such a short period to be usable. In addition, I would like to have more actual stories or perhaps my own op ed pieces to complement other types of content. Again other ideas are welcome.

Without going back through every type of post I think that is probably the areas of focus going forward. I will of course try to break things up with some random or fun things as well to keep you guessing.

Here's a cool picture I found on JEFFREY K. BEDRICK's page. It is named milestone and you can probably understand why by looking at it. It seemed appropriate for the occasion.

Thanks for reading.
