Here's an interesting blog for you - The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster. It is written by Matthew Frederick Davis Hemming who asumes the role of none other than Darth Vader. There aren't many articles on there to date but the quality of the postings and the knowledge of the author (not being a Star Wars buff I make this assumption) is amazing.
This is one article that really made me laugh:
Due to the haste with which we are proceding through the latter phases
of this battle-station's construction we have been forced to employ
scores of civilian contractors from across the galaxy in addition to
our own Imperial Corps of Engineers. This had led to a certain clash of
working cultures.For instance, this morning I critiqued a tragically sub-par piece of
workmanship on a tractor-beam repulsolift inversion assembly by
snapping the neck of the site supervisor and throwing his limp corpse
down a disused elevator shaft.Imperial engineers would have snapped to crisp attention, of course,
but all these civilian contractors did was give me [was] grief. "Oy, you
do that again and I'll have the union on you!" barked one red-faced
buffoon."It is vital that you enhance the inter-departmental syngergies of your operation," I said. And then I killed him.
Priceless! A website hasn't made me laugh this much for a long time.
What this blog proves is that a good writing style, an in-depth knowledge and passion about your subject and timeliness can work well to create successful, engaging blogs.
