———————

My name is Dru Johnston, and I write unsustainable blogs.

Starting April 12th, 2009 I will be creating a new blog everyday for a year. At the end of that, if I don’t have at least four of them that I want to continue, I’m probably a miserable failure.

Let me make it clear that by “Blog” I mean a brand new website. Not just a new post… what kind of a project would that be? It wouldn’t. That’s the answer.

For project details and rules check out the page links to the right.

Or if this is your first time to The Year of the Blog you can check out a few of my favorite blogs to get a sense of what’s going on here.

2/5/2010 – Montana Missed Connections

Blog #300: Montana Missed Connections

I admit it… I did not write any of these. Rather I cut and pasted from the very very thin postings on the Montana Craigslist. I was totally unaware they had a craigslist, but they do, complete with all the craigslist things… and in this special case, missed connections. The majority of the missed connections basically play into everything I think of when I think Montana. It just seems so perfect when the missed connection’s title is: “Les Schwab.”

2/4/2010 – CNN Fact Check

Blog #299: CNN Fact Check

If it isn’t already obvious based on the number of blogs I’ve made with CNN in the title, I read CNN a lot. And on their political blog there were like 70 fact checks today! If you don’t believe me as the CNN fact check. I was overwhelmed… so here I go trying my hand at it.

2/2/2010 – The Groundhog’s Day Blog

Blog #297: The Groundhog’s Day Blog

What will Punxsutawny Phil predict? Will it be winter or spring? And how can we best make our time depending on the season?

I’m pretty proud of this puppy… so much so that I did not make a blog about LOST. And if you know me, that’s huge.

Blog #295: Nick Nolte’s Celebrity Look Alikes

In honor of doppleganger week on facebook I’m making this blog. If Nick Nolte looked like any celebrity, which would he be? I’m guessing Nick Nolte, but hopefully at least one of them will not be.

1/30/2010 – Unanswered Questions in Baltimore, Maryland

Blog #294: Unanswered Questions in Baltimore, Maryland

Good quality television watching Barack answer heated questions from house republicans… but some of the questions just never made it to the final cut on youtube. These are them.
