Sexy Girls?

   Posted by: Infinity    in Information Technology

It has been suggested to me that if I want to improve traffic to the site, I should create a section that has a bunch of sexy photos of women (or near-naked women).

Personally, I don’t care too much about the amount of hits the site gets.  As it stands now, it doesn’t do too badly given the content published.  Perhaps, in the future, if I were to develop the site into some sort of money making venture, I would consider it.  However, in that type of discourse, would that not alienate a potential customer base if they visited the site only to be greeted by naked women who are there only to excite men (and maybe a lesbian or two)?

Probably.  Which is why I am not considering the suggestion.  It is really unnecessary.  If people want to read my posts, then great!  If they want to comment, even better!  I see no reason to toss the 316.com domain into the realm of all the other sites on the Internet (and there are millions) that have pornographic content.

I will just continue to blog away…and maybe in the future add a forum if the demand warrants it.  I tested a couple out and they work pretty good, but there is not enough demand at the moment to activate one.  Even if there was, given that I have so many projects on the go right now, it does not fit into my timeframe unless I hire somebody to maintain this website (which would be rather stupid, considering it is not setup for any sort of profit at this time).

As well…it’s 2:00 in the morning and I’m rambling a little bit.  That’s o.k. though, it’s my website and I’ll do what I want.  Fun times.

I have a few posts on the go…some more movie reviews, book reviews, and a forthcoming post on some of the greatest villains of our time (in the movies, books, comics…no real villains, as I’ll create a separate post for them).

UFC 116

   Posted by: Infinity    in Mixed Martial Arts

UFC 116 was one of the best night of fights that I have seen in all my years of watching mixed martial arts.

Starting from the top, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar impressed me a lot by taking a mountain of punishment from challenger Shane Carwin in the first round, and coming back reinvigorated in the second round to submit him by arm-triangle choke.

Anyone else – and I do mean anyone else – who took those shots would likely still be in the hospital.  Lesnar was being pounded by those jackhammer fists like crazy – so much so that most people scored the first round 10-8, yet he survived the onslaught.  It doesn’t get any easier for Lesnar, as he is now scheduled to face Cain Velasquez.

The co-main event was to have been Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Wanderlei Silva.  However, Silva injured himself during training and Chris Leben, less than two weeks removed from his previous fight, stepped in.

Surprisingly, Leben got the win in the third round.  He was a huge underdog not only because he just got through a fight, but Akiyama is no pushover.  He is a highly skilled fighter who is difficult to finish, yet Leben managed to turn the trick.  Good job, Chris Leben!

Other bouts included:

Heavyweight bout:  Jon Madsen vs.  Karlos Vemola
Madsen defeated Vemola via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).

Welterweight bout:  Daniel Roberts vs.  Forrest Petz

Middleweight bout:  Gerald Harris vs.  Dave Branch
Harris defeated Branch via KO (slam) at 2:35 of round 3.

Middleweight bout:  Kendall Grove vs.  Goran Reljic
Grove defeated Reljic via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

Light Heavyweight bout:  Seth Petruzelli vs.  Ricardo Romero
Romero defeated Petruzelli via submission (armbar) at 3:05 of round 2.

Heavyweight bout:  Brendan Schaub vs.  Chris Tuchscherer
Schaub defeated Tuchscherer via TKO (strikes) at 1:07 of round 1.

Lightweight bout:  George Sotiropoulos vs.  Kurt Pellegrino
Sotiropoulos defeated Pellegrino via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).

Bonnar defeated Soszynski via TKO (strikes) at 3:08 of round 2.
