I'm bored. Now I'm more bored.

Please people, don't try and fill your time reading the BBCs Internet Blog. Its boring, and to read it I'd need a grey suit and a desk with files on it. Maybe its not that bad, but my only experience means I'm never going back. Allow me to demonstrate.

"Earlier this year, Jem Stone blogged that the BBC had joined the OpenID Foundation. And a week ago, the BBC hosted a meeting of the OpenID Foundation Content Provider Advisory Committee in New York. I was there, among the BBC people and participants from major media companies. This was the first time we gathered a wide participation of companies interested in the possibilities of OpenID."

There is more, and they go on to explain what OpenID is etc etc, but honestly I can't see most people getting beyond "Content Provider Advisory Committee". Snooze.

However, being the helpful sort of chap that for all you know I am, I have an idea to make this kind of material more palatable: comical or fun pictures.
I could see on the news that the French have created a doomsday device, so long as they reported it with a picture of a cat in a hat, or a clown getting hit by a pie. Try reading the same section of that article again (below) that has my subtle changes made to it...

I think the results speak for themselves.

With so much going on, boredom is surely a sign of intellectual sloth and a despondent detachment from available Realities.

My apologies for not living up to your high intellectual standards! I probably would never suffer with boredom if I tried to better myself daily, increasing my self worth by trawling the internet for small blogs to pass comment on. Nooch.

Indeed, folie a deux, .... well reasoned, and I would not dream of disagreeing.
