Now, I read a lot of blogs. I do. And these days, bloggers have gotten pretty hip to what people want to read about (see the new book No One Cares What You Had for Lunch for examples). But one of my all-time favorite blogs celebrates the notion that the most boring topics can be made riveting: witness the dullest blog in the world. With perfectly calm comic pacing, this blog makes art of the mundane.
Here’s a sample entry:
About the correct temperature - May 9
As I was sitting down I became aware that the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. This being the case I made no adjustments to the temperature control on the central heating.
Do you have a favorite dull blog?

One might also consider The Dull Men’s Club web site, “A place — in cyberspace — where Dull Men can share thoughts and experiences, free from pressures to be in and trendy,
free instead to enjoy the simple, ordinary things of everyday life”.
I especially like the pages regarding the direction of airport luggage carousels.

The cats are somewhat annoying, but as you seem to have a compulsion to do so, go ahead and keep posting them.
