Ten Goods Deeds A Blogger Can Perform

I've been complaining a lot on this site lately. And it's not just me. Complaining is a common hobby, a near epidemic.

But what are some GOOD DEEDS we can do with our blogs and our abilities? How can we turn our brains around and use them for good instead of evil?

Ten Goods Deeds A Blogger Can Perform

  1. Install a Firewall on your mother's computer
  2. Put virus scanning software on your cousin's computer
  3. Run a spyware remover on your brother-in-law's computer
  4. Backup your dad's digital photos to CD ROM and store them somewhere away from his home
  5. Teach your grandmother to use email so she can get in touch with old boyfriends
  6. Teach your uncle why he shouldn't click on attachments
  7. Backup your nephew's website. He doesn't realise that the webserver is about to crash
  8. Someone in your family is a genealogical enthusiast. Help them put their research online
  9. Pay for some of that shareware you use every day
  10. Bite the bullet and publish some of that code you've written in your spare time

That's all i can think of for now. Now I'll go back to kicking injured puppies.

Spooky. Item, for item, this closely parallel's my todo list.

YOU WON! See larkware for details. Also, my own list:


* Teach one person how to use search engines properly.

* Instill proper sense of shame in one of your female coworkers over their penchant for emoticons (it's true, you know it's true).

* Introduce one person to YTMND.com: http://ninjaworksit.ytmnd.com/


I think I've done my good deed for 4Q 2005.

I can't possibly agree more with item #10 :)

All viewpoints welcome. But the right to delete any post for any reason is reserved. Don't make me do it. Aim for constructiveness. Comments may be republished, emailed to your loved ones or printed and used as toilet paper. Also, I get particularly nasty on comment spam. It's not worth even trying to post comment spam here -- your html is escaped, and your links are given a rel='nofollow'. By attempting to post a comment, you understand that if the comment is considered spam, at my absolute discretion, your IP address may be used as the target of a prolonged distributed denial of service attack. Your electricity might suddenly stop working. Your car tyres will go mysteriously flat. You will suffer permanent hairloss. Your dreams will be filled with terrifying monsters. And in any case I reserve the right to record and publish your IP address.
