Possibly the best splash page in the World, ever. You can almost imagine the designer spitting coffee into his keyboard as he received the good news… What? You mean they actually approved it? Genius.

Here’s some blogjam statistics, up to and including the previous entry:

1033 – Number of entries
3253 – Number of comments
81391 – Number of words in total
474214 – Number of characters
127009 – Number of syllables
11555 – Number of unique words featured
22 – Number of occurances of the word “kitten”
16 – Number of occurances of “penguin”
18 – Number of occurances of “porn”
5675 – Number of sentences in total
1014 – Number of paragraphs
14.34 – Average words per sentence
1.56 – Average syllables per word
10.64 – “Fog” readability index
60.26 – “Flesch” readability index
8.42 – “Kincaid” reability index

Readability Measures:
(These descriptions are taken from the documentation accompanying the Lingua::EN::Fathom perl module).

Fog:
The Fog index, developed by Robert Gunning, is a well known and simple
formula for measuring readability. The index indicates the number of
years of formal education a reader of average intelligence would need to
read the text once and understand that piece of writing with its word
sentence workload:

18 – unreadable
14 – difficult
12 – ideal
10 – acceptable
8 – childish

Flesch:
This score rates text on a 100 point scale. The higher the score, the easier it is to understand the text. A score of 60 to 70 is considered to be optimal.

Kincaid:
This score rates text on U.S. grade school level. So a score of 8.0
means that the document can be understood by an eighth grader. A score
of 7.0 to 8.0 is considered to be optimal.

So there you go. Christ, I must be bored.

I love this weblog. It’s got everything… the music, the characters trailing from the rather spiffy Sonic the Hedgehog cursor, the marvellous choice of font (viner hand itc, anyone?), the animated background. Genius. I think I may redesign.

Me, from the Independent on Saturday magazine, in a feature where people ‘in the know’ are asked to tip a musical act to succeed in 2004. Oh, how silly I’ll probably look in a year’s time.

Ozzy Osbourne, Sex Criminal. I imagine MTV must have censored this particular episode… which is repeated at Global Gourmet (a cooking site), and at the California Criminal Law Board forum, amongst many other places. Meanwhile, there’s further allegations to be found at Dirt World (a mountain biking portal) and also at Buzzle, home of ‘Intelligent Life on the Web.’ Righty-ho then. Warning: graphic language used in all cases.
