Time to Create a Blog

I have created blogs before, and in general they suck. So this time I'm setting a goal that I can achieve: creating a sucky blog. But I want it to be a stretch goal, so I am attempting to create a blog that is sublime in its terribleness, uplifting in its emptyness, and inspiring in its attention to irrelevance and aggrandizement of worthlessness. So far, it is off to an encouraging start.

Finals are over. B school is supposed to be easy, but I feel like Red at the end of the Shawshank Redemption when he finds Andy DuFrane on the beach. I feel very liberated. My apartment looks like the Sex Pistols have been hiding out there for a week. Cranberry juice is spilled all over the kitchen floor, giving the illusion that a violent crime was recently committed. My head feels like it was just the set for Innerspace bloopers stunt double out-takes.

What shall I do with my newfound freedom? I shall create a blog, the InsanoBlog.

Here are some of the things I would like to write about over the lifetime of InsanoBlog: coffee, tea, computers, Wittgenstein, strategy, marketing, finance, the Wall Street Journal, yoga, tantra, email, Gmail, Bmail, qmail, xmail, , Business School and the curse of the MBA, entrepreneurship, writing an unpublished novel, the Toyota ECHO, the future of human civilization, artificial intelligence, robots, computer programs that write computer programs, the most efficient procrastination machine ever constructed, social networks, joggging, martial arts, Chicago, Lake Michigan, Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, bars, cafes, being a bouncer at a bar despite being 5'10" and 175 lbs., tai chi, kundalini, my wonderful girlfriend, my wonderful family, my wonderful friends, Julio Cortazar and Rayuela aka Hopscotch as well as El Perseguidor, living in Germany for a year, interning at Google, working at Booz Allen, risking my career on a startup that is about as well planned as this blog posting, the art of creating lists, the art of studying for finals, how classes should really be taught, the experience I had of teaching electronics to better that were smarter than me and better at electronics, the best classes I've taken at B school, the worst classes I've taken at B School, cartoons, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman - Attorney at Law, Sealab, other cartoons on and off Adult Swim, the Simpsons, Family Guy, how much I like cartoons, why I like cartoons, the art of creating lists and remembering whether or not you already listed something, how to learn a language in two weeks, the art of the hangover, the Internet Porn Equivalence theorem, Ricardian equivalence and the destiny of economics, what it was like to interview President Clinton, meeting Barack Obama, whether Barack Obama will be elected for President, what it was like writing for a travel guide, what it was like venturing into the jungle of Panama and having machine guns pointed at me by barefoot Embera natives, what it was like getting lost in a jungle at night, how great my girlfriend is, meeting one of the twelve principal Columbian witchdoctors currently living in the jungle of Panama, the future of movies and whether they will evolve or devolve into YouTubery, the future of YouTube and whether Viacom's affront will work, strategy and how to know whether you should merge with another cyborg, The Force, open source code, taking a poetry class, the pros and cons of an undergraduate education at Harvard (aka they were the best of professors, they were the worst of professors), what is the fate of literature?, why I don't think about the past and whether I should think about starting, how much should you think about things, the Tao Te Ching, how I tried to write the ultimate truth of the universe into a novel about a cult hidden behind a rock band uncovered by a philanderous love triangle pushed to the breaking point, stereotypes examined and gotten to the bottom of about venture capital, lawyers, Vanilla Ice, viral marketing, Esperanto, postmodern stream of crappiness, how the quality of TV and movies really have improved and what it says about our society and our evolution as a species and the fallacy of mistaking exponential development for linear development, "Was Charles Dickens a Blogger?

The recommended way for you to stay in contact with this blog would simply be to make it your homepage. Another option would be to buy a dedicated terminal and keep the monitor open to this page 24 x 7. Another route would be to get tight with the people at Apple Store and have them keep one of the demo computers always fixated to this page. Another would be to create a robot that looked just like Steve Jobs programmed to follow you around and show you this blog every ten minutes on an iPod. Another option would be to add the rss feed for this blog, which is http://insanoblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml to your google home page or google reader.
