From the always-entertaining Brian Micklethwait on the dangers of writing blog entries in advance and then getting them to automatically post while you’re away on holiday:
I’ve never really felt right with that. What if an atom bomb goes off, and there I am still blogging about, basically, kittens? (I know, the internet would not be at its best either, but you get my point.)
Yes, that would be a little difficult to explain to any survivors.

DC > Kittens in hell? Eh? What?
DW > Only slightly more acceptable. This is officially the last time I mention anything feline in one of my posts.
The answer to Brian’s concern is never to post anything except trivial gibberish. That way it doesn’t matter what happens in the world. It’s worked for me, anyway!

Yeah, well, if the world was overrun with killer mutant kittens, then he would be on the button wouldn’t he?

Yes – I mean, those little kitty cats could get mutated by the nuclear explosion and then what? Or maybe survivors would enjoy a dose of cute overload?
