The Dark Shadows Experiment

A teacher has decided to spend his summer vacation watching DS, in it's entirety, from beginning to end, and blog about it in real time.

I think he's trying to do the whole thing in one 45-day span, which amounts to about 10 or 11 hours of viewing per day. He's on around day 33 or 34 now.

His ongoing commentary is great, and at the end of each day he posts a YouTube video discussing the days events, his thoughts, critiques, about how he's "holding up", etc.

I've read his first week's worth of blogging, and it's great stuff. Very insightful, very funny, and it's really interesting to hear from the perspective of someone taking it in huge swathes.

Thanks for the link. It seems a bit confusing, as well as nearly over, but I'll see if I can't catch up with him!

Confusing? I take it you mean his website? It's not the most well organized site out there, that's for sure, but the payoff is great if you navigate through it. I believe the "experiment" began in late May or early June. You can use the calendar on the right side of his page to get there. And once you've found your starting point, at the bottom of each post is a link to the next one.

Yup, I meant the Web site. But thanks for the roadmap, retzev!

Cool site.  I don't really have time to go through it all, but I like it and will re-visit.  The collection of quotes from Prof. Stokes is something I particularly enjoyed seeing.
