I'm making a list of future blog posts. I think the blog should have a little humor in it, but that the humor shouldn't be so pervasive that everything gets cheapened by it. I haven't yet checked whether any of these posts can be flagged as humorous or serious or whatever. I should know this. After all, I've been blogging off and on for ten years now.
That gives me an idea for a blog entry about previous attempts at blogging. One of my first blogs, now deleted, was an "alien blog", a blog kept by a supposed extraterrestrial. Mine was about a guy who made all kinds of sarcastic remarks about human culture. I wish I still had the notes I kept on it. I could recycle a lot of ideas from it like the one I'm planning on blue jeans and institutionalized rebellion. You'll see that one shortly. The tone of that blog was not really suited for the subject matter, though.
Another idea I had for a blog was a group custodial blog. There's a way to do this with blogger. You set up some people as administrative people and the rest as participants. Since it's a corporate bunch the blog has to conform to certain standards, and I wrote a list of rules, then realized it was a bunch of "no this" and "no that" statements. I rewrote it as a bunch of positive equivalents. There was no interest from the other custodians, though, so I just canceled it.
I wish there was a good way to write a list in blogger's environment and transfer those easily to blog posts.
