I am going to do something here I haven’t done since the early days of The Weblog Review. That my friends is review a blog after only reading about 25% of the entries. The reason for this? My brain hurts, but in a good way.
So I had no clue what to expect at pandemian. Pandemic means a outbreak of a disease but that’s not quiet the entire word for the title. But what ever. The site loads, simple white background, softer grey text, old tin can phone image at the top. Very basic and I like it.
I started reading and the first thoughts that went through my head were “Words on blog. Entertaining, yet forcing me to think. Why is this funny? What the heck is going on here? Do I even know what this blog is supposed to be about?”
So I took a deep breath and tried again. Again I got the forcing me to think thought going on, but I enjoyed it. Ok let me back up a second. The posts are by no means any life changing essay that you need to read, but they do make you think about the topic presented.
Since I was so distracted by the thoughts going on in my head this blog was creating I decided to poke around the archives in a completely random order. Again the blog listed all the articles and I was forced to click on them which is something I really don’t enjoy. But since I felt random order was just as good as any other order, I was in luck.
Most of the “earlier” posts all say they were originally posted at another url. At first I thought this was a website that was stealing the content from another site and then making comments about the article in question. Nope I was wrong. Server switch caused a massive deletion of the database and the author only had a select few posts saved and that he cared about. Thus those were reposted on the new domain.
Changing topics for a brief moment – I recently got to watch a final table of a poker game. This final table was by far some of the best poker I had ever seen. In fact I made sure to tell all the players that I thought it was some of the best poker ever played. Why do I bring this up? Because this blog is some of the best writing I have ever read and I want everyone to know about it. Granted my mind was made up about this without reading nearly 50% of the articles, but my brain needs time to think and digest what the author is saying. I will definitely be going back to this blog as I want to make sure I enjoy it all.
