One Day in Hell

By Ian, on October 17th, 2006

The One Day in History project from the National Trust is encouraging as many people as possible in the UK to contribute diary entries to form a mass snapshot of the population.

At first I thought this was a terrible idea. Even if it serves to popularise blogging, surely the diary format encourages the most mundane, mediocre, self-absorbed twaddle. What could be more boring than ten-line diary entries made by strangers?

Then I thought, wait a minute. Give this a chance. Have a look and see what the people’s mass creativity can come up with. And this is history in the making, right? Ordinary people’s thoughts, feelings and actions electronically immortalised.

Shouldn’t have bothered. It’s dog plop.
