What would you like to read about on this blog?
Please pick some topics from the following list of ideas and thoughts:
Which is most interesting?
Which the least? (I enjoy a challenge sometimes. Maybe I can find a way to make something "boring" appear more interesting.)
Feel free to suggest scrapping the entire list in favor of something else, if that's your inclination.
Why working in engineering is like working in Latin: the sophistication of your communication is limited by how well you understand mathematics and statistics. However no one seems interested in speaking mathematics fluently. Imagine trying to write a novel in the simplest grammar possible. It may be requisite for kids books, but I don't think that great literature is composed that way.
Procrastination is a good way to manage bad habits.
Lessons from the experience of working as a Resident Assistant. (Things you learn about people watching the new students make their way through their freshman year of college.)
Thoughts on philosophy, e.g. "Most of epistemology goes out the window as soon as a three year old opens his mouth. Philosophy is bunk." (And why.)
The odds of getting an education. (Why sleep, nutrition, and low stress are necessary for genuine learning; and just how much the odds are stacked against any kind of genuine learning in college.)
Poetry (This will take some time, and no guarantees on quality.)
Personal stories from memorable incidents in my life.
Gripes and pet peeves. However these are rather too close to signing my name to a DUI (Daily Universe Idiotorial: Writing under the influence of an asinine gripe. I do that too much anyways.)
Things that I am researching in bioinformatics, and why they are cool (or why you should care.)
"Practical psychology" or thoughts on how different groups of people view things differently, and how it affects communication/work/etc. Or makes the world easier to understand, or helps you get a different perspective on things.
Writing done under the influence of sleep deprivation. (For example I asked my roommate just now about possible topics and got the following response: dating, girls, video games, and the cultural influence of Pacman.)
This seems like a good point to stop.

Haha, any of these seem like they woul be interesting. I do love hearing good stories from people's lives though.
I actually think you might consider arguing how children's literature is, in many cases, more concise and effective than adult literature. Some good examples would be The Giver by Lois Lowry, Bridge to Terabithia, and so on. It would definitely be a challenge.
