About StoryLog - Storylog

I think a well-told story can get at the heart of what’s meaningful and worthwhile about being a human being. I’d like Storylog to be a place where people share intimate moments, endearing memories, and hilarious adventures.

Inspiration for Storylog

Lowbrow.com (inactive) used to have an archive of more than 50,000 shameless experiences. I would click “reload” all day long, reading one random “moment” after another.

Update (10/7/11): This is so awesome! I recently stumbled on an archive of more than 20,000 old lowbrow moments! You can find them here: the lowbrow archive

Some examples:

Air hockey is frighteningly similar to real life: Whenever I really, really want it, I play like shit. But when I couldn’t give a fuck, I score like crazy.

One thing I really loved about living in a trailer was when people would ask me where the bathroom was.
Where the fuck to you think it is, through the foyer up the back stairs and third door on the left around the corner past the den? It’s down the fucking hall.

Traveling tip: When crossing the U.S. border into Canada, and the Custom’s officer asks you “Do you have any firearms?”, do NOT reply with “Why, what do you need?

Last weekend, at about 11AM, I was running down the street, trying to catch my dad driving off. Middle of winter, I’m wearing just a bathrobe, and carrying a stack of Neil Diamond records.
Surprisingly, there is actually a reasonable explanation for the whole thing, but what am I supposed to do, go door to door explaining it to each one of my neighbors?

I’ve decided that if given a choice between world peace and getting instant gratifying revenge on everyone who has ever wronged me or pissed me off, all you fuckers are going down.

etc!

Who Created StoryLog?

My name is David. I grew up in Somerville, MA and I live there now. I like designing websites, figuring things out, and writing about my life. I’ve worked on a couple websites, including: swarmation.com (co-creator), betterlesson.org (designer), and songism.com (inactive) (co-founder).

I’m excited about everything that has to do with the internet, especially: reddit, khan academy, dota commentaries :D, and (of course) wikipedia.
