"This is just another story to come out from Zimbabwe..."
"Tuesday Morning Quarterback will be back soon, along with Megababes and Haiku! Excellent..."
"American politics is something that I enjoy. When you can't find me on Slate, you'll find me watching the West Wing..."

Those were some of the first lines OJ Wooding uttered to the world when he launched Dayorama, alongside Ollie, in August 2002.

The idea was that the weblog would allow OJ and Ollie to 'rate the day' by analysing the day's news and giving the day as a whole a score for newsworthiness - a sort of Beaufort Scale of news - between 0 and 12.

It was enough for The Guardian to shortlist Dayorama for the paper's prestigious Best British Weblog award that year.

Since then, Dayorama has evolved into a personal weblog and OJ's contributions have gradually diminished in volume. In the time Dayorama has been live to the world OJ, born in Grimsby on 12 February 1984, has gone from a school in Taunton to the Houses of Parliament, and he's now back at school establishing a career in law.

When he does open up, expect more of the above: UK/US politics and lifestyle, comment on the day's news, and the occasional joke about buffalo and bison. (You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.)
