The Fount of Useless Information
When I first arrived at this site, I was somewhat disappointed by the layout. It's a very common layout that's used all the time and I love things that are a little more... well, unique. As I read through the entries, I wasn't as amused as the title led me to think I would be.
In this blog, we do find exactly what is promised to us: useless information. This is the blog of CK, an obsessive-compulsive microbiologist from Michigan. In his blog he writes about his life living with his wife (MK) as well as the aforementioned useless facts.
As far as extra things go, there aren't really any. There are links to a few different places, Google ads (if you could consider those extra), and some lists of current reading and listening material.
I already sort of got to the design, but I'll reiterate. The layout is very basic, the Minima Black theme from Blogger. (I've seen it often enough to remember the name.) I liked the design the first hundred or so times I saw it, but after awhile it gets a bit dull.
In the end, I really wanted to like this site. Useless is sort of my specialty, throwing practical knowledge out the door and preferring things that won't get you anywhere. However, after going through the site, I have no choice but to label it average. I'd say it's worth checking out, but it won't be making it to my personal favorites list.
