I'm a bit of an efficiency nut. Around the house, on the road or at work, I'm always searching for ways to spend less time, effort and money on the things I do.
So I'd like to crack my fingers and roll up my sleeves to see if I can't bring a little whiff of this efficiency to the DKos recent diaries and recommended diaries lists.
Did you know that for every GBCW diary that makes it on the Rec List, our community wastes enough electricity to power the City of Toronto for five whole minutes? And the popular TTFN diaries use up a similar amount, only substitute the City of Detroit.
The good news is, we can cut back on all this wastefulness in a sing diary! This one.
We've seen so many people leaving the site in recent weeks and months, I figured it might be a little easier if we started counting the people who ARE here.
If you're not on this list, which will begin in the comments section, then the rest of us can assume that you're MIA from the Orange Satan, and we'll crack open a delicious microbrew in your honor.
So here's how to proceed. Standard roll call rules apply here, and I'll even get you started with a suggested format.
You can use mine as your template. Here we go:
Name: Droogie
Gender: Male
General Location: Oklahoma
Occupation: Writer
Why I'm Staying: Because I can't stop.
Favorite Rolling Stones Song: Beast of Burden
And you don't have to stop there. You can provide as much (or as little) information about yourself as you feel comfortable sharing with the room. I'm not gonna twist your arm -- the main thing is we'll know you are around.
So please proceed! Have fun, and we'll see you in the funny pages.
