Live blogging in real time

According to this article, some people "live blog" the birth of their children. Or a funeral they attended. Or an afternoon spent cleaning out a closet. This means banging out blog posts as the events are happening.

I post to this site pretty often, sure. But I would never "live blog."

If people feel the need, they can blog the shit out of my funeral for all I care. But I hope they will have the decency to post their content later.

Agreed. That's just wierd. But this kind of live blogging is entertaining.

6:42:40 p.m.: Let's see what dl004d has posted lately.

6:42:49 p.m.: Just one new post. Looks like a short one.

6:43:05 p.m.: "live blogging," eh?

6:43:09 p.m.: birthing children? where is he going with this?

6:43:11 p.m.: "live blogging" a birth sounds like something Instant Ethos would do. Oh, I mean Evan Jake.

6:43:15 p.m.: I don't think I'm going to click on that link. I don't feel like reading a whole article.

6:43:28 p.m.: I guess he does post to this site pretty often. Not often enough, for some. Perhaps too often, for others. I think it's just enough.

6:43:36 p.m.: "blog the shit" out of his funeral? Is he really using "blog" as a verb now?

6:43:39 p.m.: Blogging the shit out of his funeral sounds kind of fun, though.

6:43:44 p.m.: I am nothing if not decent.

6:43:28 p.m.: I wonder what he died of. I suspect the butler.

Well done. You hereby have my permission to live-blog my funeral.
