NaBloPoMo at absidea
October 18th, 2007 
That’s it: Charlotte and healingmagichands have convinced me that I should enlist for NaBloPoMo. However, I am certain it would take too much time if I had to write a deep philosophical post every day. So I will not be doing the daily posting here on Mandarine, but on my other blog, the one with the weird inventions, with which I have had difficulties keeping up recently. In fact, absidea is not really a blog. It is more of an irregular serialized book.
Hence I am not sure which one I should really choose between NaBloPoMo or NaNoWriMo. Anyway, NaBloPoMo it will be; I will be posting the thirty ideas for absidea Season 2 over the thirty days of November.
Then the blog will hibernate until I write Season 3. Well, not entirely. As illustrations take me an awful lot of time, I will skip them for the daily November postings. Then I’ll take the next twelve months to update the articles with the illustrations, bringing each newly illustrated post to the top of the stack in turn.
There it goes. As a teaser, here are a few of the absurd ideas that you’ll be reading about over at absidea in November:
- 03 Nov Space mirrors that look into the past
- 05 Nov The cheese-jet pizza printer
- 11 Nov N-dimensional tic-tac-toe
- 12 Nov Autobuilt underwater coral cities
- 16 Nov Placebotherapy
- 19 Nov A tall fence against global warming
- 24 Nov The co-sleeping hammock
If you are not acquainted with absidea, feel free to try before November.
Yay! Looking forward to a month of absurd ideas. I particularly fancy the idea of the co-sleeping hammock.
Also looking forward to Nov 24. Have been waiting for elaborate explanations, specs and illustrations of the hammock since I first heard the idea back in August. Depending on the difficulty and absurdity levels, we may be able to pull it off before the baby comes in early Dec
Why, two votes for the hammock! Ironically enough, the hammock is probably one of the least absurd ideas in the whole lot. I mean, it could actually work!
Precisely!
You’re a brave soul. I’m tempted by the idea of NaBloPoMo, but fear it will be like the many challenges I spend days pondering, begin with gusto, and then let peter out. So, I’ll just pass and enjoy reading you instead. I’m especially looking forward to Nov. 3 and Nov. 12.
I have hardly taken any challenges after all these months of blogging, so I might as well start with NaBloPoMo. We’ll see how it goes. If it helps me write fifteen articles instead of thirty, it will already be a success.
Oh no! Absidea is not online!
Was trying to link your baby hammock post to this other one I just found. Seems like your idea was not such an absidea. They just haven’t pushed it as far as your clever mind has.
