Hi! I'm one of the editors of the Hype and Blips sites. I'm not big on self promotion but if you're curious here're a few details:
• I love sports and consider myself mildly informed on most with the exception of hockey and soccer.
• I do surf, and chose my icon to remind me what I could be doing when I'm not on the Web!
• Celebrity gossip, music, movies, TV...I love them all and I'm glad to be a part of so many sites covering all the latest and greatest on these topics.
Please drop me a line if you want to say hi or have comments or suggestions about the sites.
