Thanks much for all the feedback in yesterday’s anonymous suggestion box. It turns out people who read this site like this site, which is great for the ol’ ego. I appreciate it. I guess it would have been more helpful to survey the people who don’t read this site to figure out what the hell is wrong with them.

Seriously though, thanks. It seemed like most people who responded were pretty happy with the mix of content here. Some people wanted more random stuff, some wanted more sports. Some wanted less Jets, some wanted more Giants, some wanted no football stuff whatsoever. Some suggested more long-form pieces, others preferred more frequent short posts.

I appreciate all the feedback, and you’re always welcome to send me more at tberg@sny.tv or via the comments tab on top of this page.

Two people asked about the origin of the Eddy Curry Fat wheel in the background image (and on my desk). That was a prop for an episode of The Nooner, a now-defunct daily sports-comedy show on SNY.tv that I co-wrote. The episode is the first one here (but do stay for the second).

A ton of people asked for more sandwich reviews, and I should be able to oblige soon. I signed a lease last night for an apartment in Manhattan. Moving to the city should provide me both better access to sandwiches and more time with which to pursue them, so look out for more of those on the horizon.

Speaking of: I’m currently taking recommendations for sandwiches accessible via the 6 train. Also, for pizza and bagels on the Upper East Side.

Anyway, a few comments of note:

I liked the format on Flushing Fussing better than Tedquarters. Why did you change the blog?

A few reasons. Mostly, I wanted the flexibility to write about more than just the Mets, and in different lengths than the 600-1,000 word columns typical of that space. It was also among our first efforts to move most of the SNY.tv content away from the old article pages and on to blogs, so this started as a test of sorts. And I was getting busier with all the other aspects of my job, so it became difficult to regularly churn out posts of that length.

Does anyone else prefer the old format? One thing I’ll admit is this: Since I wasn’t concerned then about keeping a reasonably steady stream of content flowing, I typically spent a lot more time playing around with the ideas in my head before typing them out. And I find now that when I hold off on writing something and think about it for a few days, I make new connections that strengthen the points I’m trying to get across. I should probably do that more often.

I enjoy your baseball and food related posts.  One question, though–why is it that on Metsblog, and the other related blogs, there is a tab for other SNY blogs, including yours, but there is no similar tab on yours–making navigation more difficult?

Good question — I don’t know. I didn’t set up the tabs on this site. I intended to reconfigure them, but it’s way time-consuming to do with this theme than it was with the last. Does anyone else use those tabs? Did you before the recent redesign?

Either way I’ll figure out a way to have links back to the other SNY.tv sites. You can always click the SNY.tv logo on the bottom of the page to get to the SNY.tv homepage, which provides a roundup of stories from all our blogs.

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

I like this site because it’s like returning to an old friend. It’s a little weird, but I feel like I know you. And if we hung out, it wouldn’t be weird.

Well, it might be weird. Real-life me doesn’t have the filter of propriety demanded by this site’s affiliation. I really do like sandwiches, though.
