I've been galloping off in all directions lately in sheer yelping delight at the variety of human experience and expression. The other day, while getting onto this site so I can do this blogging experiment, I ventured into Bloggers "Blogs of Note" section, which provided me with a huge field in which to gallop and yelp. It seems like everybody's writing about everything.
With a view toward being more focussed, I will mention one blog which is most prominent on my mind today.
In this particular page, our blogger experiments with advice from a book on how to write. The author suggests "sitting in front of the computer for hours even if I have no ideas."He then "document(s) the experience."
I think this is an interesting idea. I have done it in various forms; sitting in front of a blank notebook with pen in hand, sitting in front of a typewriter, a tape recorder, a video camera. All these have been fruitful. But I will definitely do the same thing sitting in front of this memex and take note of what goes on during a specified time. But not right now. I am going to do some other stuff now, and iwill be back.
I have absolutely no idea why I am doing this. It seems as If I want to communicate with the "outside" world but they all could not possibly care less.
