About Christopher »

http://www.christopherleone.net/ site coming soon. Temporary/eventual layout design: http://www.christopherleone.net/cs103/lab3/index.html

I want a job in this business. I think I write pretty damn well, I'm knowledgeable, and other than basketball, I've pretty much got the big four (and NASCAR) covered. Are you listening, ESPN?

I get very frustrated when technology doesn't work properly, or the way it's designed to work. I apologize if it causes me to blow my top.

I believe that journalism can be an art form.

I'm generally not online much on the weekends - it's good to take a break from the computer screen and refocus on those who are close to you, and my studies in college. If you have anything urgent to get to me, my Gmail account (which can be accessed from my phone) is christopherlion6@gmail.com.

You can read my weekly fantasy NASCAR predictions on OnPitRow.com, along with the occasional special-interest pieces on off weeks.

    Alright cool!

    If you could private message me your personal email address, because I'll be sending out an email before the start of the season with the rules and details for you.

    Plus, that's how I collect picks so I'll know what email address to be looking for.

    Glad to have you join!
