Recalled to Life
Between 2000 and 2006, or somewhere thereabouts, The University of the Bleeding Obvious regularly launched its random assortment of 'strange stories told with a straight face' into cyberspace. Each month it would deliver a mix of comic articles, spoof adverts and sundry entertainments to a loyal band of followers. Since regular updates stopped, the University has maintained a slim archive, comprising a fraction of its output, but has otherwise gathered dust.
Earlier this year I decided it was time to clear out the cobwebs, instigating a brand new design and restoring some of the stuff that had previously lain dormant. Because of the sheer volume of the material, I felt it appropriate to divide the site into a number of sections. This will make it easier to add new sections in future - which is the intention, since further articles await inclusion.
The purpose of this blog thingy, therefore, is to inform you of new additions to the site, and to provide an impetus for me to actually get the job done. My most immediate task is to expand the existing two archives. Following that will be a revamp for the Dr Bongo section, and a new and possibly interactive section showcasing the University's erstwhile inventor-in-residence, Jez Moonbeam. It has been my intention to include some new material, but... this is another story.
In the meantime, your comments, criticisms, questions, abuse and silliness are welcome.
