前几天玩anagram游戏时突然想到,anagram的中文叫什么?一查字典,只有很长的一串解释外加举例,却没有对应的名称。看来中文有必要增加一些专有名词。:)

Merriam-Webster给出的定义:a word or phrase made by transposing the letters of another word or phrase。

给几个简单的例子:won = now, satin = stain, neat = a net。先别急着说“这有什么好玩的?”,看看下面这些经典的anagrams,好不好玩自有分晓:

Debit card = Bad credit
Dormitory = Dirty room
Mother-in-law = Woman Hitler
Desperation = A rope ends it
Slot machines = Cash lost in 'em
Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one
Snooze alarms = Alas! No more Z's
Election results = Lies! Let's recount.

绝吧?还有更绝的。Fun With Words有Common Sayings,Famous Names,Celebrity 1 Word,Long and Short等等不同类别的anagrams列表,包你看个过瘾。(特别注意Rude Anagrams。能否猜到Life sucks作何解?Husband and wife又作何解?:P)

再跟大家分享几个特别好笑的明星anagrams:

Tom Cruise = So I'm cuter.
Kelly Osbourne = One bulky loser.
Justin Timberlake = I'm a jerk, but listen!
David and Viatoria Beckham - Bravo! Victim and a dickhead.

最绝的当然摆在最后。(警告:以下内容含成人话题。)

Axl Rose = Oral sex
Britney Spears = Nip yer breasts = Arrest by penis = Best PR in years

难怪他们那么走红。Sex sells. How true! :)

《搜狐IT第一届中文Blog大型摸底调查》

由Sohu的雄杰发起的Blog调查问卷,问卷设计得不错,希望大家如果有时间都可以去填一下,说不定还有奖品可拿。希望最后Sohu最终能根据调查数据推出有良好用户体验的产品。唯一担心的是,目前这个调查问卷都是通过一些IT Blogger在传播,最后得到的数据能不能体现中文Blog圈的真实情况,还很难说。

Rebecca有些问题想问问大陆的Blogger们,是关于大陆的GFW的影响方面(以下引自该则网志):

* Of the people in China who use the internet regularly, what percentage do you think know how to use proxies? Of the people you know, what percentage know how to use proxies? 在中国经常上网的人当中,你估计百分之多少知道怎么用代理?亲自身边的人当中,你估计百分之多少会用代理?

* Out of that group of people, what percentage do you think frequently use proxies to access blocked sites? 会用代理的人当中,你估计有百分之多少经常用代理上被封的网站?

* In other words, among the proxy-savvy Chinese internet users, to what extent does it matter if things are blocked or not? How much does filtering impact these people’s information experience on the internet? 换句话问:在会用代理的网民当中,一些网站被封不封有多大的关系?政 府封一堆网站对 网民的“网上经验” 有多大的影响?

* More generally, amongst all internet users in China at large, how do you think internet blocking and filtering impacts what Chinese internet users do and do not know about their own country and about the world at large? 总的来说,在国内访问不了很多网站的情况之下,你觉得这个情况怎么影响到网民对自己的国家和国外的理解?

FeedBurner的RSS浏览统计

feeds.feedburner.com/blog2 这个RSS在FeedBurner上的浏览器分布统计

在线服务:
BlogLines服务占第一位, My Yahoo约是BlogLines的一半。

客户端:
FireFox的内置RSS,看来页面中rss声明的meta的确非常有效。 FeedDemon和FireFox不相上下。

以上数据所依据的抽样较小,不足做为真正的用户使用份额分析。

想到今天,才知道我们一直在倒退,因为终于退到了不用BeiAn的大后方。直到几个小时前,还有无数好心的朋友提醒我,赶快去BeiAn吧,何必呢?“对啊,何必呢?何必呢!......”,连我这么笨的人们都学会了自己设问,可惜答案和问题是一样的,除了标点符号。

面对恶法,普通人虽然无奈,却也只好屈从之。屈从的结果是支持、纵容和助长。类似的环扣会层层加码,直到让你无法呼吸到再次求饶,或...死亡。因为恶法的来由从来就是“冠冕堂皇”,看似造福,实则劳民伤财,除了人力,还有物力财力,以及与表面毫不相干的针对性目的。

另一方面,这又是一个蠢法。因为天下到底有多少个“网站”,谁来告诉我?(这个问题甚至可以形而下到“什么是网站?”)如同有人来抓狂让自己身上的细胞都来登记一番,不但做不到,而且还会自己疯掉(还记得王朔那个什么练气功的小说来这?)。当然,制定...

Todays Front Pages不单把这400多份报纸按照地区列表排列,更制作了一张地图,让读者可以更形象、更方便的找到自己所感兴趣的地区的新闻。顺便提一下,Google和Yahoo的地图都开放了API,地图+新闻还有更多的应用可挖。



Newseum还保存着过去几年重大事件的报道存档,我们可以重温一下一个月前的“深喉”爆料、去年亚洲海啸或者4年前的“9.11事件”的时候,各大报纸都是如何报道的。另外值得一提的是,Newseum所提供的所有报纸头版,都提供原始大小的PDF文件下载,用来收藏也很是不错。
