Associated Content Producers with Writers' Block: Try Blogger Play!

Leveling Truth
Blogger.com has just recently released Blogger Play!

Blogger Play is a continuous stream of images and photographs in real time as they are being uploaded to Blogger blogs.

It's plain. It's interesting. It's different. It's nonstop. It's a silent reality TV show that you never have to get up and change the channel as it does that for you all by itself every few seconds. As an added benefit, there's no commentary that you are forced to unwillingly subject yourself to. In fact, feel free to yell at the photos if you want to! Stress relief and instant therapy in an itty-bitty square box.

It's just hypnotic flashes of images that give you a constant small window into this spectacularly great world.

Ooooh. Ahhhh. Pretty. Fades out. Fades in. Cool. Cute kids. Look, it's pants that are probably for sale somewhere. Do you think those women on that church pew realize that heathens everywhere can see them in their Sunday best? Oh my gosh, would you just look at that!

It's everything. It's anything. It's absolutely nothing.

The next time you find yourself complaining that there's nothing to watch on the television, try a refreshing visit to Blogger Play. At Blogger Play you will never know what is going to be on. You never know what you're going to see. Each image is like a small surprise just waiting to be discovered inside a box of Cracker Jacks or a box of your favorite cereal. It invokes this nostalgic child-like wonderment that is entrancing. If you don't find the toy you had hoped for, it's not a problem! Just give it a few more seconds and try again! You'll feel like a kid with your hand stuck inside the cookie jar. Just one more cookie. It won't spoil your dinner. As soon as you think no one is watching, stick that hand in there and grab another cookie! The flavor will always suprise you and there's always a chance that you might even stumble across some images of actual cookies. Who knows?

In addition to being therapeutic and simple idle brain noise, the distraction of Blogger Play can actually be quite helpful. If you're suffering from writer's block and need some ideas, visiting Blogger Play is a great way to quickly switch gears and help a new idea just pop in there. Completely random moments spanning time and space. Complete strangers. You don't know their names. It isn't really all that important. It captivates your imagination and you just can't help but watch.

I'll warn you. It's strangely addictive. If you've ever wanted to imagine that you are a crew member on the Starship Enterprise whose sole job description entails keeping an eye out for strange new life and civilization, this is probably right up your alley!

It's random constant content that magically appears on the screen. Constantly. Randomly.

An idea appears. An idea disappears. Quick, did you get that one?

It's pretty cool if you have nothing better to do.
