Hammertime of Team Hammer’s Musings has stepped up to be my second interview subject. The rules are here. I’ll ask him six questions, even though he only has to answer five and can opt not to answer any one of them:
1. You started your blog with the following:
By my reckoning, the most important aspect of a succesful blog is not humor, character, comunication, logic, entertainment value, technical issues, or even decency. It is discipline – the discipline to regularly update the blog. We’ll see if we have it…
Now, as time has passed, do you still feel that way? If not, what then is the most important aspect of a successful blog? For that matter, how would you define a “successful” blog?
2. You went to USMA. I spent a week there for an academic (e.g. recruiting) workshop before my senior year of high school. One morning I saw a doe outside the dorm window, on a hillside not even thirty feet away. What is a moment from your time there that will always remind you of the natural beauty of the Hudson Highlands?
3. You’re an athletic, sports-loving video-game nut. What are your favorite sports to play personally, to watch live, to watch on television and to play on a video game? If there are discrepancies between the four, explain briefly why?
4. Army has a planned home-and-home football schedule with my alma mater Texas A&M in ’06 and ’08. During your time as an officer in the Army, you certainly had some degree of interaction with Aggies. What is your honest impression of them and do you have any interest in attending a game at A&M? If not, why not? If so, has any particular Aggie tradition caught your interest?
5. Name the top three people that lived during your lifetime that you would consider heroic. What other person living today could make this list and what would that person have to do to bump one of the three?
6. (Blatantly lifting from my interview by TexasBestGrok) What got you into blogging? If you had to write a mission statement for your blog, what would it be? Do you have any conscious role models for or influences in your blogging?
I will link link to the answers when posted.

Hmm. Good questions, Gunner. I’ll hop right on them, and should have them up by 1AM.
Gunner,
It’s up.
Sorry it is late. Stupid dial-up.
