Wordle makes tag clouds all pretty
Just stumbled across Wordle, a neat tag cloud/text visualization tool, and am having way too much fun.
Some of my most common Flickr tags (click on the cloud to see it bigger on Wordle’s site):
The contents of the front page of my blog as of 3 July 2008:
I like how the latter captures our time in [...]
PeeZed gets an asteroid named after him!
Every science nerd hopes to get something named after them, with the mostly likely candidates being small invertebrates or small celestial bodies as there are lots of both still without names.
As further proof of how cool PeeZed is, he just got an asteroid named after him! The little rock formally known as 153298 is [...]
We can all make history come alive
Courtesty of Status-Q, I’ve just run across this amazing and wonderful little project: WW1: Experiences of an English Soldier.
Bill Lamin is posting the letters his grandfather (Harry Lamin) wrote home from the front of WWI as a blog. Each letter is posted 90 years after (to the day) Harry wrote it, so following [...]

Yup, crazy as it sounds. Eyetrack has collected some nice user data, which they summarize in “What We Saw When We Looked Through Their Eyes”, which is then reorganized in “Scientific Web Design: 23 Actionable Lessons from Eye-Tracking Studies” over at VirtualHosting.com.
At some point I should go through these with some care and think [...]
Hey-dee-ho! Spiffy new version of WordPress all around
I just finished a long overdue upgrade of all the UnhinderedByTalent.com WordPress installs, so everyone’s all spiffy and shiny now.
The photo (from the Green Fair where we met the River Nene folks) is just there to fool you into believing this post actually had content :-).

Making an unexpected difference
In general I’m a pretty crap citizen of the websphere. I produce in my spastic little way, but I don’t read or discuss or contribute much to the community of the thing. Or if I do, it’s really scattered and unfocussed. This is especially true in the blogsphere, if less so in [...]
