Here is an experiment in blogging: making WordPress into a discussion forum. I still don’t know how this will work out, but hey, we just don’t know what would happen when certain people click together. Register here.

"Ask yourself the following things and write your answers on your blog."

1. What significant experience did I have today?
2. What striking idea did I get from someone or cooked up myself today?
3. What was I reading today?
4. What was I listening to today?
5. Did I go to some place today? Where? Why?
6. What did I see on TV or the movies today that I liked or not?
7. Did I receive an email today? What was it about?
8. Did I find an interesting website article today? What is the URL? Why did I find it interesting?
9. Did I enter into an argument today? What was it about? Who shut up whom?
10. Do I have something to write about today? If none, why?

S. Lewis’s "Screwtape Letters" you’d understand what this blogger is about.
