C.O.N.T.R.A.D.I.C.T.I.O.N. was a web log (blog) created and maintained by Jon Reddick.
Purpose
From the site's own "About" page:
- So, “Now what is this for?” and “Who is supposed to want to read this?”
- Maybe nothing, and maybe nobody, but this site is about me and for me. If you get a little enjoyment out of it and learn something about another human being, all the better.
Creation
Articles in the archive date back to January 2003, but some articles were written prior to that date.
The site was initially custom-built on PHP and MySQL, but later all existing articles were ported to the Wordpress blogging software platform.
Name
The site's name, "contradiction" is a self-referential ironic anagram.
It stands for "Campaign Organized to Nullify Those Ridiculous Acronyms Doltish Individuals Conceive To Inflate Ordinary Noteworthiness", which is in and of itself, a ridiculous acronym conceived to inflate ordinary noteworthiness. Thus, the name is a direct contradiction of what its individual letters stand for.
Articles
Though generally grouped into "Good Stuff," "Bad Stuff" and "Funny Stuff," the topic of the articles are decidedly scatological ranging from poker-playing and video game experiences to restaurant reviews and rants about pet peeves.
Articles aren't posted on any set schedule, but just whenever the author feels the creative spark.
Retiring/Merging
In May 2014, as Jon's primary REDdimension domain was being reworked, CONTRADICTION was merged into it, and is no longer its own standalone blog site.
