Seven Deadly American Sins
I came across these maps and thought that this was an interesting way to demonstrate statistics from across the United States. These images and descriptions of how they were created originally came to me from Gene Expression, via Andrew Sullivan, One nation, seven sins: Geographers measure propensity for evil in states, counties.

Happy first birthday, blog!
I can hardly belive that it's been a year since I started my experiment in blogging. My boyfriend was the kind of kid who would take a part things just to see how they worked.

That's why half the population (mostly female, I'd presume) has gone crazy over the temporary residency of George Clooney - in town for a couple months to shoot a film. Sorry George.

Thanks to WordPress for killer SEO and to Google Images for helping Cookie-Monster-picture-seekers all over the world find my site.

An Experiment
Rather than be continually paranoid about why all the pens at my desk keep going missing... I've decided to do an experiment. At 2:22pm today I put 10 brand new, identical ball-point pens in my pen cup. I will take attendance each day and see what happens to them. What I am hoping to prove … Continue reading An Experiment
