All You Kids Out There ...

This is my "Hello World" of blog entries, so I'd thought it would be fitting to explain: Why Warrior's Corner?

I've lived in Toronto my whole life and so watching Hockey Night in Canada almost became a ritual in my family. Without fail, every Saturday at 7:30 the Toronto Maple Leafs would be playing on CBC and during the first intermission there would be this segment called "Coach's Corner" with Don Cherry.

To sum it up, if Canada and Hockey had sex ... Don Cherry would be their baby. He's a straight shooter type of guy and probably the most outspoken Canadian. I always enjoyed watching his segment because he never sugar coated anything. If a player sucked, there would be no excuses, he would always call him out. And he's probably best known for the advice he gives to kids watching his segment. Sounds something like this:

"All you kids out there, don't be yapping to the referee. If there's one thing refs hate ... it would be players who complain and whine like little babies ... DON'T DO IT! (* fist pound on the table *) "

So how does this relate to what we're doing? Well, We've followed many blogs over the past 2 years. Frankly we're tired of reading about how some blogger with a Political Science degree thinks that textmypet.com is going to be the next Google. In my mind, I believe that there is a lot of garbage written by people who just don't get software. In fact, the Web 2.0 hype has gotten out of hand and every day a new wazooozie.com comes and goes.

We wanted to start writing about the real game-changers: people and companies who are actually changing the industry. We're not here to give kudos to the person who flipped textmypet.com for $100,000 and now thinks of himself as a "Serial Entrepreneur". Like Don, we want to lay it out on the table without the sugar coating and cherry on top. Some people may like it, but some might not. We're not here to masterfully script pleasurable posts just to drive AdSense revenue.
