Scripting News: A decade in a download. First, congrats to Dave—having recently hit a little brick wall in posting to my blog, my respect for anyone who can pull it off for ten years knows no bounds.

But I’ll confess: the quant analyst in me is slavering at the thought of a downloadable 10-year blog archive. Think of the stats that could be run:

• Histogram of occurrences of cooooooool per year
• Frequency counts of word blog
• A calendar view of the entire ten year period, that only shows the images

Not to mention link frequency stats: who’s the all time outbound link champion of Scripting News? It could be Google or the New York Times, but my bet is that #1 on that list will be surprising.

It’s not every day that you hear about a new business plan, without a company around it.

Anyone want to work on RSS-I with me?

Hee.

I think they left a few things out, though. Like:

• Is the defendant a minor?
  • N: Go to “Sue, but use the dumb lawyers.”
  • Y: Can we sue the disabled grandmother?
    • N: Go to “Sue, but use the dumb lawyers.”
    • Y: Go to “Really? Awesome.”
