We now return you to...

This isn't so much a real post. Well, I mean, I'm posting it. But the topic is just a filler. I mean, most of you probably know that Blogger has a post scheduler. So you can type a post and set it to post two days from now. Or two days ago. Which is actually kind of cool for someone like me. I work in spurts. So I can type up five or six posts at a time and just set them to post over the next few days. And if I get distracted, I can set them to post over the days I forgot. It's really kind of cool.

It isn't exactly honest. I mean, it is a bit like cheating. I figured I'd mention it now, when there's likely no one reading this. That way I don't look like an idiot for telling people something 99% of the blog-savvy world already knows. But since I'm part of the 1% who didn't, I still find it cool.

Kind of wish school worked this way. I mean, yes, that would be ungodly hard on the teachers. However, I would have adored the ability to grab all my classwork and homework for the month at once, and sat down over the weekends and pounded it out. Then, each assignment could have posted the day it was due. And I would have had more time free during the week. And probably would have forgotten fewer assignments.

Then again, I do get distracted. And I forget. I probably would have had other issues too. Still, it's a neat feature and I'm glad they have it. It does allow me to type up several unrelated topics all at once. Because my brain is scattered and tends to go off in ten different directions at a time. At least this way, you get ten posts over several days instead of ten all on the same day, and then nothing for five days or so.

But yes, I now return you to the regularly scheduled madness.
