I don’t usually do this sort of stuff, but Mike at nomadic_audio hit me with the Four Things thing… (As did Aaron)

I don’t think I’ve admitted this, but I really enjoy the Olympics. I generally do not like most professional sports because I think most professional athletes are overpaid cry-babies and criminals. (The exception is surfing, which is the classic battle of man (or woman) versus nature!) Anyway…

Those control-freaks at the Olympics once again are banning the participants from blogging.

I’m still not sure what they are afraid of…

Did you ever wonder how del.icio.us got it’s name?

Joshua explains it:

When .us became available, I wrote a quick script to figure out the shortest prefixes that would allow me to generate the most number of names:

$ grep us$ /usr/dict/words | sed 's/.*\(....\)\(us\)$/\1.\2/' | sort  | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
    6 aceo.us
    6 mino.us
    7 ario.us
    7 onio.us
    7 urio.us
    8 aneo.us
    8 orio.us
   10 itio.us
   14 icio.us
   18 acio.us

I’ve used /usr/dict/words in the past to find strange and unique words. I’ll really have to remember to do that more often…
