Tips for Making Your Blog as Delightfully Meta as an Average Absurdist Painting

Just before starting to write this the author had a lovely time being a social animal with other grownups, and it's now obvious that he was too excited to notice a beer and three glasses of wine had given him a definite case of sec before he'd even gotten home. Sooo...what else about my erstwhile well-observed life could use a more thorough flogging with the 'ol Analysis Stick?

Oh yes, my blog.


(from Dept of More Meta Than Thou)

- Exert strenuous efforts to ensure the blogs to which you subscribe are all discontinued. Bonus points if the author has not been seen alive in more than a year.

- Keep a mirror next to the computer screen. Better yet - typing blind isn't that hard - convert your computer screen into a mirror.

- Comment on why you chose each specific word in your sentence. Include illustrations.

- Comment on your comments. Include illustrations.

- Explain why comments aren't footnotes, and segue into a thoughtful discourse on the sadly solipsistic state of academic writing (with an ironic examination of how aware you are of the irony inherent in ironic examinations)

- Set up a webcam pointed at your computer screen, then set up a webcam pointed at the webcam that's pointed at your computer screen

- Post a video of you agonizing over where to stop with this setting up of frickin webcams

- Publish a daily electron micrograph of a random area of your body

- Contract with a funeral home to have the video of your death automatically posted on Youtube, funded through the advance sale of tickets and targeted advertising

* Bonus difficulty points if the search spiders can't find an instance of the word "me" on your site.
