I Write Like Stephen King

Jul 14. 2010

I Write Like is a nifty tool that tells you which famous writer you write like based on your word choice and writing style. All you need to do is enter into a text field a sample of your writing (at least a few paragraphs are recommended for the best results) and voila! I write likeStephen King I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing! I entered more than a few samples of my writing (via blog posts, essays, etc) and the author that popped up the most was Stephen King. I was really flattered, because I love Stephen King — not only for the horror novels that he is most well-known for, but also for his imaginative, full-of-life fantasy tales. The...

Twaggies: Twitter Illustrated

Jul 14. 2010

Not unlike Missed Connections, Twaggies is a site that finds funny/interesting tweets and illustrates them to make them even more memorable.

My 2 Seconds of Fame via Twitter

Jul 10. 2010

I have various Google Alerts set up for my name, my aliases, and their variations. About 50% of the time the alerts have nothing to do with me, but the other half can get pretty interesting. Most of the time I'll be flattered that someone chose to link to me, or find my stuff beneficial to their needs. I'll even saunter over to their sites to give a note of thanks, and I've made several online friends through this process. Once in a while I'll even find people trash-talking me, and while that used to bother me it no longer does — I think it's amusing that they don't have the guts to do that to my face (or on a...
