I find random how-to stuff to write about and then do it: I usually lean towards weird and/or mad-scientist type stuff, funny stuff, pranks, or something I just think is really useful to know but there isn’t much information about out there.
It’s really pretty arbitrary. I usually like to include videos because it’s likely that I can find someone else who knows way more about the subject at hand than I do and has put up a video on it–I never just post videos, though, this is not a splog, I do personally hand-write and publish everything (except for some older articles from ezinearticles.com, but it’s been over a year since I put anything from them up here).
Cheers,
Andrew
