MTV 24 star Kiefer Sutherland about a possible big-screen adaptation of the hit series. Unfortunately, the movie won't be 24 hours long.
Digression: (n) a message that departs from the main subject; a turning aside (of your course or attention or concern); wandering from the main path of a journey []
As of today, I have begun experimenting with a new form of content for my site. You'll notice just after this post there are two "mini-posts" which are basically links to other sites that I think are interesting. I will henceforth refer to these posts as digressions. At the time of this writing, any digressions will be indicated by a small green square followed by a short remark containing a link.
Digressions will change (and hopefully improve) the content of the website in a couple ways:
1) I will be able to update more often, posting single links in short bursts rather than saving them up for a whole post. Since the first Friday Linkfest,1 I have been bookmarking any website I find that is remotely interesting so that I can easily find it and post it here. With digressions, I can post them immediately. This frees up my bookmarks folder and gives you, the reader, more content per day. The death of Friday Linkfest may upset some (i.e., Shawn), but it will be better in the long run.
2) Normal posts will be the same, interspersed between digressions, and will obviously be longer and more fleshed out. This solves a problem I've had for a while: what if I want to post something that is only 2 sentences long? Now I can do just that without feeling like I've "wasted" an entire post.
In the end, I'm not just doing this for myself, but for you as well. Let me know what you think by posting a comment. Do you think digressions are something that you will enjoy?
- I posted something similar to Friday Linkfest on the blog I had before this one called . I had vision. [↩]
