Statistic of the Day
So now I've got way more statistics at my fingertips than one can reasonably digest, so I think I'll dollop them out one at a time. Let us begin with an ode to the common man blogger -- A review of who got the median numbers in all categories I looked at.
For those of you who have successfully avoided anything remotely math or statistic related since high school / probably didn't even make it to that part of HS, the median is the middlemost of the data set. With the addition of
theferret to the data set (who blew even
hipstomp away holy crap), there are 31 subject livejournals. This therefore is a list of the 16th in each category. (note most of these numbers are actually year-to-date, not livejournal totals)
Entries per month: The remarkably attractive
basicallyasap, with 8.75 entries per month.
Comments Made Per Month & Comments Received Per Month: They're different categories, but
robroy10280 keeps everthing in balance by being the median in both categories, with the same number: 61.
Friends-of / Friends Ratio: Median is
robroy10280, whose friends-of is 5.1% larger than his friends list.
Friends-of Added Per Month:
geni_ratto05, one of last year's 30 in 30 participants, with a friends-of growth of .75 people per month.
Friends-of Added Per Entry:
emosnail, with .115 friendings with every entry -- ie for every nine entries I make someone new friends me.
Comments Received Per Entry: Local newspaper copy-editor
jegskaltisse with 7.11.
Comments Received / Comments Made:
basicallyasap with .87 comments received for every comment made.
Friends-of: Early blogological pioneer
jdryznar with 108.
Growth of Friends-of List:
professor_david with 11.4% growth rate over the previous year.
Most Median Bloggist: Therefore goes to
robroy10280. Its almost as illustrious a title as city council member...
Entry of Day(s)
So while I was dead people kept on blogging. Here are some noteworthy entries that accrued while I was hanging upside-down in pantranscendencelvania:
June 16th:
roter_terror posts a picture of an emo knight (left), whose sword seems to be stuck to him without a scabbard through the miracles of being a giant refridgerator-magnet.
June 20th:
apoplecticfittz posted about a doughnut-cheeseburger. Apparently its forreal.
June 21st: Things started to get crazy on the 21st with:
(1)
eagon drove across the United States, purely as a blogging stunt I assure you.
(2) Then things got crazy, with first
emd posting about this thing called Lazy Town, then minutes later
apoplecticfittz posting about the same thing! Scandal ensued. Apparently they both came up with the idea independantly, or at least independantly by the same cues maybe.
Also
xaositecte wrote about his experiences "in the closet," and countless pictures of Clay Aiken were posted, much to the detriment of culture on a whole.
eazyt posted saucy conservative political views, but people are reluctant to engage him in discussion due to fear of his automatically screening of comments...
In other news:
I love food. Infact, let it be known to all of you (Even though a good bit of you already know) I like food more than 105% of you.
I'm sorry, but you're not a big ol' tasty burrito!
Well, I hope you're not. If you are, I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you, and I'm going to enjoy it and NOT feel bad about it either!
There are certain foods that I love more than others.
These foods are....
1) chicken strips
2) burritos
3) stew
4) gyros
5) The souls of my enemies
Now the question is, am I copying Oetimus, or copying Apoplecticfittz copying Oetimus?
