Default Be They.

How many times in your life has someone walked up to you and said, "THEY said this is a great movie," or "THEY said it's going to rain today," or "THEY said that such-and-such a product is reliable." Probably more than you can count.

And how many times have you walked away asking yourself "WHO are THEY?" Well, my AudiWorld compadres...now's you big chance. You can be THEY.

I'm looking for people who know stuff and have a good sense of humor to contribute to this latest sick little creation of mine.

If you would like to occasionally contribute a pearl of wisdom to They Laboratories website, I'm asking the following:

1) Either e-mail me at jbaraga@computersarebad.com or post up here with this information...
-Your FIRST name & LAST initial
-The city & state in which you live
-Your e-mail address
-What you know (not everything you know...but if you know a lot about electronics, stereos, fishes, bran muffins, architecture, computer networking, romance, etc...then tell me that.)

2) Once I get this site up and running completely, I want to turn it into a resource where people can come and find good, solid information about whatever they're looking for. So I need people who know about stuff. So chances are, someone will want to know what you know about whatever you know at some point.

And here's what you get out of it...
1) Once I get this thing hosted, you'll get your own e-mail address at theylabs.com where we can correspond.

2) If this thing takes off, all of the "They Laboratories scientists" will get a theylabs.com T-Shirt. But that might be awhile \

3) You'll get the satisfaction of knowing that when anyone utters the words "THEY said..." there's a good chance that they're talking about you.

Are you with me?<ul><li><a href="http://www.computersarebad.com/theylabs/who.htm">They Laboratories</a></li></ul>

Default Good idea, but how are you going to make sure that what 'they' say isn't a crock of sh#t?

I don't mean the people who contribute from here, but others.

Default Here's the deal...

If I can get it working the way I want it to, the primary function of They Laboratories will be to provide the universe with real-live, verifyable information. Weather. Sports scores. Stuff you can find on most any portal.

But the difference is that I'm going to have a section (what I'm talking about right now) where people can come and ask questions. Let's face it...people have been attributing THEY with a lot more things than they probably should. Now's there chance to get it from the source.

So what I'm looking for is people who know stuff and who won't mind an e-mail or a post asking them to explain the stuff they know.

Sure...there are other sources of information out there. But this one will be more fun. Catchy name. Fun pictures. Cool people/contributors with good senses of humor.

I'm not trying to rewrite the laws of nature with this thing...I'm just trying to put good information out there in a format that's more fun than most other sites.

But that's a good question.
