The Year of the Blog (A New Blog Daily)

By Victor Pineiro

My colleague Jim is a fount of fascinating stories, often having to do with projects he and his friends have undertaken. My latest favorite, The Year of the Blog.

My name is Dru Johnston, and I write unsustainable blogs.

Starting April 12th, 2009 I will be creating a new blog everyday for a year. At the end of that, if I don’t have at least four of them that I want to continue, I’m probably a miserable failure.

Let me make it clear that by “Blog” I mean a brand new website. Not just a new post… what kind of a project would that be? It wouldn’t. That’s the answer.

For project details and rules check out the page links to the right.

For an organized list of all the blogs created so far click here.

Or if this is your first time to The Year of the Blog you can check out a few of my favorite blogs to get a sense of what’s going on here.

Browse away and uncover some genius. I especially like his My Texts From Last Night (as tedious as they sound), Kanye Ruins Teenagers Treasured Moments (nothing funnier than translating visual jokes into awkward paragraphs), and his recent Plot or Not (answering the age-old question, is this a plot, or not?).

In case you’re afraid of clicking links in quoted text, check it out here.  And post your favorites in the comments.

But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More

Old Spice Love Affair

Unless you have been living under a rock, you are quite familiar with the body (of work) of Isaiah Mustafa. Mustafa is a former wide-receiver in the NFL, and currently has a talent contract with NBC. He might be better known to you as The Old Spice Guy (heretofore known in this post as OSG). But just in… Read More
