I've now taken down the sidebar list of Bloghuh? participants, and finished off the Epilogue. Those who missed it should go to that post and have a look around the links, while there's still a chance of tracking down some of the content.Many thanks to Blue Witch and everyone else who helped make it so interesting. See you all again later for something equally foolhardy ;)
Well, the week is over, and the participants (linked in the sidebar) have amassed a veritable treasure trove of mystifying truths and such things. Apologies for the scarcity of posts around here, but I didn't want to use the event as an excuse to rant (I do that anyway, and generally without excuse); I recognise also that the posts I did make suit a particular subset of my regular readership (and hence probably a similarly small proportion of the blog-reading public at large).I'll leave the sidebar links up until I'm sure they're the full list, then I'll preserve them in this post. The list seems to match Blue Witch's: I realised after some consideration that she has 20 vs. my 19 because she listed herself and I didn't ;-). You should go around and catch up with the posts; I know there are a few out there that I didn't see while it was going.
And now back to normal programming: an intermittent (nay, sporadic) stream of waffle and technobabble...
Oh, and regarding your last comment BW: you ain't seen nothin' yet :-p
Bloghuh? is a collaborative blogging project running throughout this week, encouraging participants to write posts on things that mystify them. The rapidly growing list of participants is in the sidebar, and the post that started it all can be found here.Computers mystify me. Which is a little worrying, since I spend all my working time and most of my leisure time using them. More worrying if you consider the fact that I'm one of the many people responsible in part for demystifying them for other people (or at the least, getting them to do what they're told).
Bloghuh? is a collaborative blogging project running throughout this week, encouraging participants to write posts on things that mystify them. The rapidly growing list of participants is in the sidebar, and the post that started it all can be found here.My quest for something mystifying, interesting and not one of my normal rants about the world (because let's be honest, on balance life isn't so bad, for me at least), has led me to something that may go down like a lead balloon. But that's the case with all my posts, so let's get on with it.
I've found something that amazes me. Mystify, yes, but loosely (as was allowed in the Bloghuh? mission statement). More to the point, it's something I expect to mystify some of you. Have a look at this document (PDF, ~45kB). After the more link are a few random thoughts.
I'm behind the times, of course, but for a Monday-Sunday event, Tuesday is less tardy than I could be. Without blaming/crediting anyone in particular (*cough* Blue Witch seems to be a ringleader *cough*) there's a community effort to come together and make some themed posts, the theme being 'things that mystify me'. It's all explained here.I'm not yet sure if I'm going to participate, but I'll tag along and see what I can come up with. One of the features is that all the participants are listing the others, so I'm about to knock up another sidebar roll to put them in. Then I shall get onto thinking about what mystifies me. With any luck I can come up with something positively mystifying, rather than just one of my normal rants about unbelievably unreasonable/thoughtless/stupid behaviour. Especially since Kitchen Witch has already covered the one that normally bugs me most (go there quickly, I can't work out how to link to a particular post...).
Update: Although I said I wasn't sure I was to participate, BW has decreed that I am, and added me to the list. Apparently there are others hoping to get in time permitting, but I have been committed, so to speak ;-)
I should probably now put a link to myself in the sidebar. The mind boggles.
