As you can see, I’ve suspended the link-sharing project. It’s not that there isn’t still an incredible flow of links on the subject of digital authenticity and “being yourself” on social media. (You could fill a whole feed just with links to think pieces on Trump.) But I’m not satisfied with the...

“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”–Toni Morrison Somewhere, deep in the back of my brain, is a little memorandum. It says, simply, “Write Book“. I can go for long periods without giving that thought any attention. But then, when I...

What the Eudaimoneers is meant to not be: badvertising. Just another single-serving wonderchicken industries site that (as well as being a kind of sub-rosa promotion), makes me giggle, and making myself giggle is something I try to spend at least an hour or two a day doing. Share and enjoy.

We’re ready to unveil our latest project – Readability-Score.com! Way, way back in 2004, I wrote a piece of code to analyze the readability of text using the various algorithms that had been developed for the task. I made a small but useful tool to analyse readability and threw it up on the site,...
