Teh Internets Blog-Your-Own-Adventure

Posted by on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 4:12 PM

The Awl just put up a really clever Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style post about the life of a blogger.

...before you can say “choking on the pen cap you were absently chewing,” a perfectly outrageous blog post title loads in your browser, begging for—or perhaps openly provoking—your attention.

Do you… ignore the inflammatory headline and continue surfing?

Or immediately register your disgust in the comments section?

Or do you begin reading in earnest, though with some skepticism?

I swear to God, I do this five times a day. You should go choose your own adventure.

Where's the option for "rewrite the code so that Fnarf's comments don't appear" ...

Hah, I was just reading that at the Awl mere seconds ago before I got bored with the adventure and surfed over here instead. And by "bored" I mean "depressed to realize that the habits of my life can be reduced to a simple flow chart".

Wait...where is, "Check the by-line to see if Charles Mudede wrote it so I can just skip it entirely"?
