One week until the 1st Anniversary Spectacular!

Why haven’t there been as many big, long articles on the Continuum of late? Well, as I’ve said earlier, it has to do with the fact that coming up is the Baseball Continuum 1st Anniversary Spectacular! It’ll have new installments of the some of the most popular and notable features of the Continuum, such as Bizarre Baseball Culture and a more in-depth version of Famous For Something Else, follow-ups on some of my favorite articles and observations, and also featuring some appearances by others from around the baseball internet who are nice enough to answer my e-mails with something other than a polite decline and/or complete silence. Yes, on May 8, you’ll see the largest number of posts on this blog in memory. And it’ll be for you, the people who have provided the Continuum tens of thousands of views over the last year.

So, uhm, yeah. May 8. 1st Anniversary Spectacular. Be there.

Blog Dealings for April 12 (and notes on the oncoming 1st Anniversary)

Okay, some brief blog dealings for today:

  • In order to have a better product and not just a list of scores, the “Continuum Global News” feature will from now on become a once-weekly feature, released on the weekends.
  • However, on the other hand, the “Picture of the Day” will return, starting tomorrow.
  • A reminder that you can donate to the Continuum tip jar by hitting the “donate” button on the front page (it’s to the right).
  • Also, if you have a high-quality baseball blog or website (I’ll be the judge of what “high-quality” means) and would like to have it linked to from the Continuum, let me know by sending me an e-mail– all I’ll ask for in return is a link to the Continuum from your site. Of course, I’ll also still add in some sites that I just plain like.
  • Also, don’t forget that the Continuum is on Facebook.
  • Finally, May 8 is the Baseball Continuum‘s 1st Anniversary. I’m planning some special things, perhaps maybe even featuring some special guests (note: If you are a semi-distinguished internet baseball personality and would like to be a “special guest”, send me an e-mail). So keep an eye out for it.

Back up and running: Baseball Continuum Facebook

Do you use Facebook? Well, good news, after a few months of sporadic-at-best updates, I have begun to once again post some updates from the Continuum on the Facebook site. So feel free to “Like” the Continuum here. In general you can expect one update or link a day from it, although there may be more in a day if something big comes up.

A reminder: Tip Jar

A friendly reminder: you can help keep the Baseball Continuum up and running and with plenty of fresh content by donating to the Tip Jar, which can be found on the side of the front page.

All donations would be greatly appreciated, and all proceeds (barring me somehow getting thousands of dollars) would go towards the Baseball Continuum in some way (server costs, domain name, promotion, products for review, and so on).

Thank you!

Some quick blog dealings

Just a few quick blog dealings for today:

-First off, a big thanks to everyone who has visited the Continuum this month so far. Already, January is the most successful month in the site’s history, and this has been the most successful week in the site’s history, and Thursday was the most successful day in the site’s history. So thank you for helping make these recent days so successful, but remember that this success is only because of you, the readers. So don’t forget to check back regularly and tell your friends about the site.

-Don’t forget that the Old Time Family Baseball blogathon that I mentioned yesterday is going on now, and my contribution will be up sometime tomorrow.

-The Glossary has been updated with a few more terms.

-Just another reminder that Joe Connor’s WBC guide remains for sale here at the Continuum, and can be found on this page.

-If you like what you see and would like to donate to the Continuum, you can now do so using the “Tip Jar” on the right side of the front page of the blog. All proceeds will go towards the Baseball Continuum and related expenses such as hosting, domain names and the like*.

*Well, that isn’t entirely truthful. If somebody drops thousands of dollars into it, I might use at least some of it to pay off some loans. But then again, if somebody drops thousands of dollars into the tip jar, I’ll personally do something for you on this blog.

Coming Up in the final days of 2012

In the final days of 2012 at the Baseball Continuum:

  • New projections for Team USA and Team Dominican Republic.
  • A look at the “Living Baseball Card” project.
  • Images from 2012.
  • And maybe the awaited return of “Bizarre Baseball Culture”.

Stay tuned!

Coming this offseason on the Baseball Continuum

So, baseball’s season may be over, but the Baseball Continuum never is quiet. Here are some things to look forward too over the next few months:

  • World Baseball Classic projections and coverage
  • The return of “Bizarre Baseball Culture”, where I view some of baseball’s more unusual appearances in Popular Culture.
  • An expansion of my Baseball Continuum theory, including a map of the Baseball Continuum
  • More “Great Predictions in History”
  • The occasional foray into non-Baseball stuff
  • And more!
