Wordle tag cloud

John — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:53:58 +0000

Tag clouds are all the rage, and wordle has created a site that makes some really pretty ones. I have seen their creations around on the web (most recently with today’s inauguration speech), and I finally got around to making one of my own. Below is a tag cloud accurate as of this posting.

I have started getting spam comments on this blog (Mexican pain killers, anyone?), and so I have changed the commenting policy accordingly. Now, in order to post a comment, you must have a previously approved comment. I regret having to do this, but I do not want to simply respond to the spam comments—I want to be proactive in heading them off. For all you other bloggers out there, how do you handle spam comments?

Don’t worry, I will still respond to our ongoing discussion about the relation of science and theology. Stay tuned…

New look, new links

Getting a decent theme that does everything I want while still looking good seems to be a bit of a challenge. Maybe someday I’ll get ambitious and make my own.

I’ve added a few new links to the sidebar. Project Euler is a site that has a few math problems on it that can be solved quickly with a little programming skill. For example, find the 10001^st prime number (104743, by the way). It’s a great site to go if you like mind puzzles or want to brush up on some math or learn some simple programming.

I also added a music section that has iTunes links to artists and songs I have recently come across and liked. Your taste in music may not be the same as mine, but, hey, that’s what makes the world interesting, right?
