PoliWiki
A while back, I started collecting my political opinions in my own local MediaWiki. My intention was to eventually publish it as part of a political campaign. But the endeavor seemed forced, and I didn't get very far. I've recently started using it to collect snippets of conversation about various subjects. From now on, whenever my online arguments inspire a bit of brilliant rhetoric, it's going in my PoliWiki, along with any supporting documentation I can be arsed to dig up.
I also recently changed my journal name from "Single-Serving Messiah" to "Mycroft Holmes". I was glad that the Sherlock Holmes movie that opened yesterday did not portray Mycroft and mentioned him only once. "Bob" forbid anyone think I'm some kind of fanboy! I'm actually much more familiar with the Mycroft Holmes from Robert Heinlein's fiction, but I personally identify with this description of the Arthur Conan Doyle character (yoinked from the Wiki):
...he has no ambition and no energy. He will not even go out of his way to verify his own solutions, and would rather be considered wrong than take the trouble to prove himself right. Again and again I have taken a problem to him, and have received an explanation which has afterwards proved to be the correct one. And yet he was absolutely incapable of working out the practical points...
