First Wiki edit

Well, I have finally edited my first wikipedia article. I chose to start off by editing the 24 (TV show) article since the current season has been in full swing for just about a month. To be completely honest, I am obsessed with this show. The suspense reflected at the ending of each episode makes you crave to watch the next one (this is most easily executed if watching via DVD). As for the current season, us die hard 24 fans need to wait a whole week for the next addition in this fantastic piece of television genius. My edit on wikipedia was a minor one and simply an addendum to an afforementioned point stated about each episode's introduction. To see exactly what I did, view the article in wikipedia and then click on the "history" tab (or just click that hyperlink right there).

The man pictured above is actor Dennis Haysbert. Besides playing Senator/President David Palmer throughout his 24 career; his other noted credits would be his comedic portrayal of Pedro Cerrano in the motion picture: Major League, as well as the current spokesman for Allstate Insurance. We all know Haysbert's amazing delivery, "That's Allstate's stand", after being witness to an unfortunate car accident. Anyways, my wiki edit has to do with the fact that Season 1 of 24 takes place on the day of the California Presidential Primary; and we later get to see Palmer's rise to the top.

Do yourself a favor. Get your hands on Season 1 of 24 (in my opinion it is probably the best out of all of them, yet I cannot include Season 5 since an ending is yet to be reached). One season can be watched in a span of 3 days. My longest run personally was a sitting of TWELVE straight episodes with my brother. Hopefully we can all come to an understanding of how awesome this show actually is.

Disclaimer: For other fans of 24, please do not take offense in the fact that my first post has neglected any mention of Jack Bauer, the main character played by Kiefer Sutherland. I love Jack just as much as you (if not more), and I also might have to include myself in this here percentage.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a fantastic online resource that I myself just recently discovered. Esentially it is a free online Encyclopedia, but there's a hitch. It's open source, meaning that anyone who wants can edit whichever article they please. For the class mentioned in my last post, I am required to edit 4 articles of my choice. The links for my choices are listed over on the side bar to the left. Another option was to create our own "Wiki" in order to add content of our own interests to this wonderful medium referred to as: the internet. So for my fourth pick I decided to create my own article. A fundamental development beyond all Wikis. Just kidding, it's merely an article about my fraternity. More specifically, the Delaware Alpha chapter which is located right here in the awful "city" of Newark. Catch you guys on the flip side...

why blog?

Why not? As you can see I keep the Q+A pretty simple. My entrance to the blogosphere is actually a direct order from a syllabus for a marketing class i'm taking, here's some proof. I knew my first experience to maintain my own blog was somewhere on the horizon, yet I never thought it would be a requirement for a senior level business course.

To be honest, this is not my first time "blogging." My summer job for the past two years had provided me with plenty of time to check out the editorials of many different people. For starters, I tried to keep up with my own brother's blog on a daily basis; amongst a plethora of others that provided a quick laugh.

That's all for now.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I feel that a more than satisfactory introductory entry would be an explanation of the title: A blog named Gob. The name Gob (pronounced Jobe) is short for, George Oscar Bluth. This is my little way of paying homage to the hysterically funny sitcom "Arrested Development." Gob, portrayed by actor Will Arnet, is probably the funniest character in television history (real and cartoon). I would also put "Arrested" up in my top five favorite television shows of all time; more to come on the other four that made the grade. Conclusively, check it out; if you don't find it funny, then your sense of humor is lacking.
