The Internet is a kaleidoscopic time machine. Look at this old page from this blog. Or how about this one? Weird. And how does iburlington still exist? I started a section called "link graveyard" somewhere on this blog a long time ago, but like everything else I start...
That's usually all I do is start it. It's a Potemkin blog people. The one thing I've sort of stuck with is changing the tag line all the time. Fleshing out most of the other features like Blasts from the Past, Link Graveyard or Koko's Photo blog take a lot of work and more time than I have. I need an intern.
One of the things I've wanted forever is... In the mayor's office there are pictures of every Burlington Mayor on the wall. I'd like to somehow reproduce that on my blog. That would be rad.
There are other things I have wanted to do with this blog. I'd love an 24/7 Chat Room open only to city councilors. Identities verified of course. I guess Twitter has kind of come along and filled the void a little there- but it would be cool to have a room dedicated to just them. That kind of thing would change the way we do government in the city.
BT as a city department would have had the credibility to host something like that and make it official. An official online 24/7 city council chat. If only they had shown a little imagination with all that bandwidth instead of sucking and destroying themselves. Sad.
The changing tag line is my favorite thing about this blog, besides the posting, of course.
ReplyDeleteI always have good ideas that I never find the time to follow through with. It's called being a parent of young kids. It takes so much time and energy, you have little left for anything else.
It's only a season, so Bob tells me.
WWWWD? What would Willy Wonka do? That's what I want to know.
ReplyDeleteplenty of room on this blog to follow all mayors that mislead their cities by witholding necessary facts and figures to the council and public. Lets start with the honorable Bob Kiss of Burlington Vt.
