I so know what you mean about the social media blogs. There's one I read out of pure fascination with the pablum and self-absorption. I wonder if we're thinking about the same person! (But who knows--there are so many!) Leslie M-B’s latest blog post...Eleventh hour

@Chris L: I am not naming the vomit induding blog, but just for clarification, it is not from anyone I have met in person nor is it someone I can say I really have had much interaction with online. @Martin- I think this is best left a secret; there is nothing to be gained or proven by putting this in public. I mean not to belittle.

I’ve seen advice like this, but not put quite that directly nor shown graphically.

Thank God I’m no longer blogging or I’d be convinced that my blog was one of the unmentionables. That’s just part of my particular sickness!

It would be cool to share these blogs though wouldn't it? I have one that gets me twitching like Herbert Lom in Pink Panther films (for much the same reasons you state, it could be the same one), but yet I get a kind of perverse joy in reading.

Great idea Alan, I need to do this more often.

If you’ll indulge a thought on Connectivism for a moment, they say that a core part of a “good” network lay in its diversity. One of the key ways of ensuring the presence of diversity then is exposing yourself to opinions or concepts that you completely disagree with.

This might very well force us to reaffirm or disprove your own opinions as well. You never know where learning opportunities may emerge, so if we can look at the message instead of the messenger we’re that much closer to objectivity – though that’s easier said than done.

Now I have to find a blog I can’t stand. I wonder where to look…

Cheers,

Mike

@Jim: Dude, the post came first after reading my feeds. Image was lucky; first compfight search on “vomit” was a human on the bus; the dog came lucky on a search on “sick”

@D’Arcy you are no where near the sick blog!

My theory is that you find an unbelievable image like this one, and then dream up a post you can wrap around it. What a crazy cool image, and the fact that it's a dog with his head in the bowl brings me to another point, part of your blogging is weaving a kind of crazy identity through dogs and cogs and other blogs, it's a mashed up space for re-imagining interactions, and the fact that you can blog the dog is what keeps it fun for me.
