TheBigUpshot

Dear Reader,

Thanks for taking the time to read our mission.

Matt and I are building this site to enrich our interactions with the world as well as support ourselves financially. We hope to do these things by enriching the lives of our readers. We will interact through posts and comments pages in which we will strive to be humorous, truthful and express ourselves clearly; we will strive to provide constructive and useful information. We see this as a win-win scenario: we will provide information that is of-use and we will attempt to earn a little money through marketing relevant products (be they our own work or advertisements for the work of others).

Topics of posts and discussion may include: Science and life management (including motivation, time management, goals, health, fitness and attitude) and the associated ironies and humor. Your role, dear reader, is this: come and laugh and enjoy the discussion. For the sake strong and effective collaboration, please respect others and keep comments positive and lighthearted. Disagreement is a fruitful tree if it is not burned in the fires of animosity. Undoubtedly, your role will become more clear as we get to know you. In the mean time, please enjoy yourselves and let others do the same.

Things to do that will help us all:

• Read and enjoy (we put it out there for your amusement, too)
• Buy us lunch (the site will stay up if the users support us)
• Participate and make constructive comments (everyone likes community)
• Share the address with your friends (they might like it, too)

Things that will not help any of us:

• Pedantic or mean comments
• Personal attacks
• Detracting from anyone else’s enjoyment

The Big Upshot: We’re all here to enjoy ourselves, and to create and sustain something of value.

Thanks,

Peter
