The real reason this is showing up on my non-existent hypothetical reader's RSS feed so soon after the prior entry is that:
a) That entry was actually mostly written/thought out a while before it was posted, but I cleaned up the draft just now,
2) I promised myself I'd write once a day, and since it took me a single day to fall behind I edited my promise to have the same number of entries as days that pass, so I need two today to make up for not writing on the Sabbath, and
D) I'm writing this paragraph now, just after posting the last topic, and I didn't take into account that it may take me a while to write all this, making my observation above inaccurate.
First I'm going to tell you a little about my goals for this, both to give no-one a preview of the future and to give myself something to remind me what I wanted to write about. Ideally I'll come up with something interesting to comment on every day, but realistically you can expect two stock types of entries. The first will be a focus on something on the internet I enjoy/am interested in (although probably not news stories, like lots of blogs do). For an example, see the previous post about podcasts, and look forward to a future one about webcomics. The second stock entry will be a (occasionally true, but most likely exaggerated in a way that was intended to be humorous but then backfired dramatically) description of something about me, or a theory I have, or a plan or an idea, that I consider relevant to me as a person. Examples include descriptions of my preferred super-powers, my theories on Brett Favre and WWII, my carrot top related internet hobbies or the following paragraph.
Finally, I'd like to relate an idea I have had that should be useful to people from my original area of the world, Philadelphia. It has been reported to me, and I've occasionally encountered, people who, upon leaning of a Philly area hometown, ask if the Philadelphian knows Will Smith. While many would answer "no, you moron, almost 6 million people live in the Philadelphia metro area, and less than 50 of those people are Will Smith, so the odds of knowing him are pretty low" I've got a better solution. You need to answer, with a straight face, that you used to know said Mr. Smith, and in fact played basketball with him on occasion. You then tell them, you got in a fight with him some years back, and after that never saw him again.
I call that "stupid question" jujitsu.
