The Blog Readability Test -- See what level of education is required to understand your blog. Apparently my blog's reading level is college (postgrad). Maybe I should strive work harder to lower the reading level dumb down the ole website. I've no clue as to why it …

exploding-boy.com turns two today -- that's right, as of today I've been wasting this little area of the web for two years. (It took me about month to work out a design and begin posting entries.) Time does indeed fly my friends. It seems like just yesterday I was …
