aggienaut | 30 in 30 Day 3 Report

   With twelve minutes till midnight I'm going to say my earlier entry is going to have to be my submission for today. Hey this is my fourth time around I can slack off a bit.

   Midnight is such an arbitrary time. Next year I'm going to declare my days officially change over at sunrise.

   Anyway, this is the daily State of the Blogosphere report.

Day 3 Report
   Yesterday was Day 3. We had updates from ironlioninzion ("Ladder Theory"), bartgroks, beastmario, eazyt, witless_nerd (posted 3 times on the 2nd and twice on the fourth, so I guess that averages out to a post on the third?), xaositecte posted about how to survive the imminent rise of the zombies, thanew, jeff4mvh hasn't posted again (but as long as this is just an account of yesterday, his joining post was yesterday so I guess he makes this list), metalphoenix has apparently been playing along from the beginning unbeknownst to me, and neugotik has joined in after I randomly responded to a poll she posted. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.
   apoplecticfittz isn't participating this year, but as someone who has completed 30 in 30 with Gold Geoduck honours for the past three years I will still note his occasional posts this month as being embued with the spirit of 30 in 30. Also, after disappearing for over a year and a half malibu_knight has returned!

   Yesterday a number of people had pretty good entries, but none really stands out to me as a clear favourite. Your homework is to comment on another participants entry.

   While this day is technically over so I could report on Day 4 now as well, I really don't feel like writing two summaries back to back.

   Today I saw "Knocked Up" with my friend Alex (my former boss's daughter). I don't know what I was thinking, the movie was a total chickflick / baby oriented. O= It did have its funny moments though.

   Tomorrow (Tuesday), my friend Nidia from down here will actually be in Davis. Figures I'm there for five years and she doesn't visit until I'm gone. Anyway she's visiting colleges with a group from her JC. If anyone (Gabi?) wants to meet up with her and her boyfriend and show them some sights, guide them to Plutos, etc, I think that would be neat.

Previously...
   30 in 30 I - Day 4: By day four the differences between those with blogstamina and those without was becoming apparent. This day brought the first failures to post, neither mrkevincostner nor oystercracker posted this day, though they picked up again the following day. shekb managed to succeed where jdryznar & incomple were consistently failing, by making a funny entry about Bush & Cheney; lerani posted about the Garfield movie and how it tries to portray itself as edgy; stephenl posts an ode to a jelly doughnut; and apoplecticfittz hits blogging gold with The Ten Blogging Commandments (Blogmandments?).
   30 in 30 II - Day 4: Now see since I wasn't doing daily recaps I'd have to look all over the blogosphere to piece together what happened on the fourth day.
   30 in 30 III - Day 4: I post a meme, and note as my favourite of the day professor_david's post, due in part to an extensive conversation about chicken strips in the comments.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Thats okay, I found it completely randomly myself originally. Perusing journals more or less at random I found one all of whose entries were "12 of 30" "13 of 30" "14 of 30" etc, and wondered what it was all about.

But yeah. The basic idea is to write one quality entry a day, which would be interesting to even those who don't know you. This ubiquitous audience works out to be the other 30 in 30 participants, while balancing keeping your own normal readership interested as well of course.

huh; works for me - I've been challenging myself to be more open & honest in my journaling then normal, anyways. Cool idea. Glad u totally randomly found me.

the internet is so freakin' cool. ttyl. ~alli
