A very weird story I saw posted on Twitter by @darrenrovell1. NBA player and former Georgia Tech star Chris Bosh, sued a company called Hoopology.net for using the domain name “chrisbosh.com” in web ads unrelated to Bosh. It turns out Bosh won the case and got $120,000 out of the deal plus the rights to about 800 other domain names, most of which are NBA and college basketball players. Among them were a few UNC players:
According to Bosh’s lawyers, anyone on the list can get their domain name back for free as long as they provide the proper documentation.

I am not much into browsing on a cellphone, but I have recently gotten a Playstation Portable that has a web browser and I have to say that the site looks really good on such a small screen. Somehow, the articles all fit, but not the ads. Good for me, anyway. Just thought I would let you know. It is pretty hard to leave comments from a PSP however, which may be for the good sometimes, too.
Thanks for the input.
WordPress has a plugin that pushes out a mobile device version of the blog which strips away the heavy images and ads and condenses it so it can be easily seen on a iPhone, Blackberry and apparently a PSP. Good to know.
THF, I see that you’re getting tweets from Tomahawk Nation, who’re probably asking you to do a Q&A about the Heels. I hope you take them up on their offer — their site is fairly young but extremely impressive, and it has a huge collection of extremely in-depth articles (that read like academic papers sometimes, seriously) and statistical analyses (their basketball writer, TrueCubbie, is particularly good); their chief writer, FSUncensored, is also extremely knowledgeable on football and has the best “insider” information on the FSU football team and program (his writings predicted how good FSU would be on offense, how bad they would be on defense, and pointed out the turmoil within the FSU coaching staff long, long before the national media picked up on it). I’m not a FSU fan by any remote stretch of the imagination, and I find myself spending hours and hours reading that site each week just for the quality of the writing. Doing a Q&A with them can only be good publicity and exposure for the blog.
