Some cool websites

[S O F I]

Due to my never-ending google reader wandering and hate for online job applications, I've come across a few cool websites. For now, you get two. Also, I preemptively apologize if they've been posted before.

1. Instructables - Make, How To, and DIY

In a nutshell, a page on instructing you to make cool shit. Here's one for making a paper clone of yourself: Project: Paper-Clone

2. I Write Like

That website analyzies your writing and tells you which famous author you write like. I don't know how accurate it is or what kind of model it uses, but it's kinda cool.

3. FORA.tv - Videos on the People, Issues, and Ideas Changing the Planet

It's like TED, but it's not.

4. http://www.designboom.com/

Here is a clock that knits scarves: http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/10606/siren-elise-wilhelmsen-365.html

I got that I write like Vladimir Nabokov, Mark Twain, and Gertrude Stein, Margaret Mitchell (Funny, I wrote that note like I was writing like a woman). lmfao

Each note I tried gave me a different one.

I will check the other sites later.


Thanks that was cool

That looks like Eminem in like 10 years.

 

[S O F I]

Don't know, what and who is it?

 

[Shadows]

Make a silver ring out of .25? that's cool. I never thought of it like that.

 

[EDouble]

claims i write like James Joyce

 

[Shadows]

^I was thinking more like a "Arthurrr with better grammar."

 

[EDouble]

and who gives a fuck what you think?

 

[Ristol]

and who gives a fuck what you think?

HAHA. That is a funny thing to say E. Anyway, I pasted a few paragraphs from my short stories in there and I got James Joyce too. Then I posted something from a different story I wrote and got David Foster Wallace. I was immensely pleased with both of these comparisons.

But I think they tell you you're James Joyce if you flout all grammatical precedent. I think perhaps it is not so special.

[Rukas]

Wow I write like Arthur C. Clarke. That is very cool.

 

[Jokerman]

I Write Like

It says I write like Emily Dickenson, with someone else it's sure it's seen before but can't identify.


No, I put something of mine in and my own name came up. Damn, it's good.

As a side note, that Vincent Cassel movie, La Haine, rocks.

 

[S O F I]

^Aye. I'm ashamed for Jokerman not knowing it.
