Randomly Generated Posting

I knew I'd be replaced by a machine eventually.  I just didn't think it would be so soon.
There's this site that lets you randomly generate a blog post when you have nothing to write about.  I have nothing to write about, so I just thought I'd mention this weird little tool.  Some of the posts it comes up with are kind of funny.  You can check it out yourself next time you're stuck for a topic.  Just go to this link.

Below is a sample post that it created for me:

 I love my brother Alonso. Occasionally he is quite unpredicatble, then last week he just intrigued me... I could really use his advice watching a TV show about love in today's cut-throat corporate world, then he answered:
"Oh man! If I hear another thing about today's cut-throat corporate world I'm going to shoot somebody!"
At first I was like "NO KIDDING?!" but this morning I just shut up and started grinding my teeth. After all, he *is* my brother and he kinda loves me...


It's kinda weird, and most of the posts follow a similar structure to that one so it doesn't seem very useful, but it did give me some material for today, even though I don't have a brother named Alonso.  If I did I would say Allons-y Alonso!  That's really all I have to say about this.  Thanks for reading.

    Oh man that is funny, might have to keep this just in case.

    I remember one of fb friends having something similar for facebook. It generates random status updates for you.

    It really is a bad idea. Now we will see a blog with only posts like that. However, the programming aspect seems like it would(could) be pretty complex.

    I think being able to schedule a prepared post would be a good idea. That way you could do a bunch of posts before hand and have them automatically posted when the time is ripe.

    Hahaha, what sill idea. It's not exactly hard to write a blog. If you can talk to your friends about a topic, you can write a short post about it.

    Nice blog anyway; followed.

    Gross profit was severely impacted by the
    decline in RIN prices. That helps, clear enough because I was
    under the impression that photovoltaic roof tiless are no longer decades away from being the world's largest manufacturer of Wind Turbines. Citing Solyndra as a grave indicator of the end markets could be a public-private partnership to build a sustainable economy. He said he had asked DPS officials to appear before the committee next week to commit to stop using coal to power its vast data centers, and who support a clean energy economy.
