I’ve been meaning to update my blog with a meaningful post for months now, but school and work have left little time for quality blogging.
My next post will be arguing against the Black-Scholes options pricing model (not the math, just its practicality).
A comment I’ve written on the latest Mixergy interview of ex-TechCrunch intern Daniel Brusilovsky has been linked to on the Mixergy website.
I greatly appreciate Mixergy and Andrew Warner for the link.
In the never-ending effort for world wide web domination, I’d like to introduce the first batch of bloggers who will be contributing to the site to provide thought-provoking content when I can’t.
Myself, politically a right-winger with socially liberal leanings, feel that having two liberal authors on staff will provide a nice bias balance, as well as create some fun point-counterpoint posts.
In keeping with my technology and business writings, I hope DevPOV will have educational value to not only myself and other techies, but anyone who reads the site.
Here’s to the first step in our hostile takeover of the internet.
This is the new blog of Logan Frederick! For those who know me, I most likely need no introduction. For those who don’t, I’ll give you a quick rundown:
I’m an incoming college freshman attending the Ohio State University with a major in Finance, potentially a switch or double major with Economics.
My personal interests are in line with my majors. Broadly speaking, business in all its forms is a passion of mine. Business encompasses economics, marketing, management, finance, mergers and acquisitions, and more topics worth studying.
Programming is a pastime of mine that I haven’t really kept up too well. I’m self-educated to a basic level in PHP and MySQL. Mostly I know enough to maintain this website and tinker around the code myself to make it fit my needs.
Web development went hand-in-hand with Web 2.0 and the history of the Internet. The Internet continues to grow in size and usefulness as more great companies leverage it to improve business efficiency around the world.
Going back as far as I can remember, gaming has easily been the most fun and relaxing hobby any teenager can enjoy. That is why I have worked for two years as a contract news reporter at The Escapist Magazine, a video game magazine and media portal.
As for the blog, posts will come frequently but not on any set schedule. Some weeks you’ll get one a day, in busier times or while I’m working on longer pieces it’ll be once a week. Topics talked about will fall under anything discussed above, and length will not be the same post-to-post.
My first post was the 2008 economic paper I wrote for Facebook and my AP Government class. Major economic pieces will from here on out be broken into different sections and posted in smaller chunks to allow for easier reading.
Improving the site will be an ongoing project, so be sure to check in to see what new changes have been made. The RSS feed link is already offered in the top right section to allow for easier reading.
Enjoy and here’s to the blog’s success!
