Get On, Clip In, Fall Off

That New Format

As alluded to earlier, I've decided to try an experiment with this blog. I want to keep it moving, but make it possible for me to maintain it in a reasonably finite amount of time. I also want to try something... different. So here it is.

I'll take suggestions for subjects. I'll then either pick one of those subjects or (if enough people vote, which they probably won't) let people choose them for me by voting on them. I think having the subjects chosen by other people has far more potential to be fun, but I guess it depends on how many suggestions come in. Every day (that's the fantasy target, which I have no delusions about my capability to reach) I'll spend exactly ten minutes - no more or less - writing what I know about that subject, based entirely on what's in my head - no use of references or Googling allowed.

Hopefully most subjects will be ones I know at least a little about. I get the feeling, though, that the ones which will turn out much more fun will be the ones I know nothing about and therefore have to bluff frantically.

It'll be factually unreliable, it'll probably be downright silly, but it'll hopefully be fun. I've got a suggestion for the first entry in the series, which will follow... well, shortly.

Enjoy, and please do let me know what you think of the new format.
