I'm updating my LJ memories, which I use as an indexing system. Every so often I find I have a few posts with a certain theme, and I think okay, I'll add that keyword and begin marking posts with that theme. For example, the keyword "hiking" came in somewhere in 2003 because I was doing so much of it.

I'm resisting adding the keyword "stupidity". When I see something I think is mind-bogglingly inefficient, I post about it here. When I get customer service so poor that it amazes me the place is still in business, I rant about it. When I see a stunning display of "unobservant", I shake my head and mention it here. Less frequently, when I see someone stating they want thing A and then taking actions that will all but guarantee that they never ever get thing A, I might post a sad ramble about that, too. These aren't the majority of my posts by any means, but when I find a post about something like this, that post is not usually about anything ELSE but this.

*sigh* Suppose I could reframe it as "potential_improvements"? Ah, who am I fooling?

You could label it "more than hydrogen"...

Aw great, now my brain is hosting the image of whatsisname in Back to the Future saying "you are my density".

You might find the ThisIsBroken (http://thisisbroken.com) weblog interesting... or dismaying, depending on your mood...

Had seen that, had forgotten about it. Some of those are classics!

I like that one. I'm still dismayed at my snootiness, though. :-/
