My First Blog Carnival

Well, this sounds mighty weird to say, but I just participated in a Blog Carnival. Yes, that is one of the strangest terms in the blogosphere; to go along with blogosphere… Anyhow, it was an NBA Carnival put together by With Malice called Made in Japan. I am just really honored to be part of what seems to be a fairly long standing tradition (it is apparently the 46th in the series) and I definitely will be participating in the future. I highly recommend that you not only read the articles, but participate as well if you get the chance. If you still aren’t sure what the heck I am talking about, just read on!

What the heck is a Carnival?

You know, I had always heard about these carnival things, but was never quite sure what they were. To give you a better sense of them, here is the Wikipedia entry:

A blog carnival is a type of blog event. It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks links to other blog articles on the particular topic. There are many variations, but typically, someone who wants to organize a carnival posts details of the theme or topic to their blog, and asks readers to submit relevant articles for inclusion in an upcoming edition. The host then collects links to these submissions, edits and annotates them (often in very creative ways), and publishes the resulting round-up to his or her blog.

My Favorite Articles

While I highly recommend reading every single one of them, here are a handful of my personal favorites:

• CelticsBlog.com: Writer’s Blocked
• Pyle of List: Shaq’s Fat Camp Episode 3
• With Malice: NBA Players… when arrogance rules supreme
• Green Bandwagon: Egos
• Wolves Watch: Too late to trade KG? Nope
