The Year of the Blog: Tumblr Edition

Blog #365: DruJohnston.com

And just like that it’s done. This is going to be my new blog that I keep updating. Hopefully it won’t be as hard to follow as The Year of the Blog… but it’s my new venue to post my thoughts about the starbucks barista’s I’m irritated by, the short stories I write, and any information on upcoming videos and projects.

But for now the blog has got info on a few upcoming things, and a post-mortem on my thoughts from this project.

Thanks to everyone for your…

Blog #364: Acknowledgments: The Blog

I was trying to figure out how to finish this guy on the train one day and I saw in the book I was reading the Acknowledgments section. Of course. The number of people I need to thank is countless, but I wanted to at least let a few of them know that I’m eternally grateful.

Thanks to everyone for sticking with me through this. One day left.

Blog #363: Making Sense of the Millennium Falcon’s Kessel Run

Okay, so before I began the Year of the Blog I wanted to start a blog called The Cosmological Principles which was a blog about cosmology and problems in Astronomy, but written by a self-righteous jerk. Instead I’ve made a few blogs by [Dr.] Dru Johnston, essentially the same character, for this project. And I’m writing another one by him.

But this one is very very extensive. I’ve wanted to make this blog for the last year, but…

Blog #362: Reconciling with that Asshole Blogger

Andy Jones, chief rival to the Year of the Blog and creator of his own year long blog project The Original Year of the Blog, is back with a vengeance. But this time only after I called him up and explained to him that I was about to be done with the project and we should probably put our differences aside. Here is his blog answer.

Blog #361: Why I Refuse To Make A Blog About Ohio

I’ve had a lot of people (read: two) come up to me and say: “Hey Dru. You say you’re going to make a blog about every state in the union except Ohio. What’s your beef with Ohio man? C’mon what’s up with that? Why aren’t you going to make a blog about Ohio?” Well, in order to answer that question I’ve made a blog about it.

Blog #360: Cop Out or Not

The final Tumblr Tuesday. What better way to celebrate the day that celebrated cop outs by making an even worse cop out blog than I’ve ever made before, purely examining other cop out blogs that I’ve made over the past year? I don’t think there is a way to do that. It’s not even a rhyme, that’s how much of a cop out this is.

Yep. I went there.

Blog #359: Flat Stanley Adventure! Blogger Edition

Well… there’s exactly one week left… so I thought I’d bring back my good friend Ryan for one more blog because I enjoy these Flat Stanley blogs a lot. Also, I’ve been reading Kurt Vonnegut recently and as you will see this blog is pretty heavily influenced by that. Time to start closing up some loose ends guys!

Blog #357: Welcome to Boston, Mass Retahd

By Guest Blogger Alex Demers

So Alex is coming through with a guest blog this weekend while I get ready for my final push next week. The New Deal weekend is in full force (except Noah said he might not do one tomorrow… BUT IT’S STILL IN FULL FORCE!). And Alex, a Boston native himself, decided to grace the internets with his presence as a Boston Masshole showing pictures of Boston and then talking to you about them. He has gone above and beyond the…

Blog #356: Graphing Roger Ebert’s Tweets

Roger Ebert ( @ebertchicago ) seems to tweet more than any human being can. It’s insanely impressive… borderline immortal God like. But with all that tweeting, when the hell does he sleep?! I make a few charts, graphs and analysis of a single day in Ebert’s twitter history. March 31st, 2010. It’s even more insane than I thought it was…
