Have I found my theme?
A few days ago, I wrote a post asking what The Wolf’s Howl should be about; I felt that I hadn’t really achieved the goal I had when I started of making it about something; my subjects have ranged far and wide and not really concentrated on one area.
The last two posts have been complaints - about Apple’s UK pricing for Leopard and the BBC’s lack of support for Mac in their new iPlayer - that have bordered on rants. Indeed, a friend mentioned to me today that he’d “read my rant about the BBC”. I thought I’d been quite reasonable, but I missed that mark by quite a way it seems. The point was made that why should a broadcaster have to cater for absolutely every combination of computer and operating system? Isn’t the fact that it works with Windows - which has what, 90% of the total OS installations in the world - enough? And I suppose, being reasonable for a moment, it probably is.
And this is when I started to think that maybe I’d fond my theme; perhaps what The Wolf’s Howl will become is a place for me to post my unreasonable, unresearched, stream of conciousness rantings? That can be the common element, rather than have a common subject to post about. And the beauty of it would be, you would never know when I was serious and when I was just doing it as a wind-up, which could have humourous results. Or could bring on lawsuits. Either is good.
I can see it now - a huge long list of things that annoy and enrage me on a daily basis, all now fodder for my fevered brain to bash out onto the screen. I truly will be howling at the moon; I’ll call it BlogTherapy!
If that all sounds a bit much to take, perhaps you’re right. So I’ll try to intersperse the rants with the odd lighter moment just to bring a bit of relief to my benighted soul and lift your spirits, dear Constant Reader.
