So I put questions about your blog in a survey so you can blog about your blog when you post the survey.

Or something like that.

1. Why did you sign up for writing your blog?
Peer pressure. Seriously.

2. Why did you choose your blog’s name?
I used to be Le Seul Mot Juste, but Eigenblogger is just so much more…me. You know?

3. Do you ever had another blog?
Excellent English. No I haven’t, unless you count MySpace. Which I don’t, ‘cause this is the same thing. I just moved it over.

4. What do you do online when you’re not on your blog?
Oh god…Tumblr. YouTube. Ted Talks. Wikipedia. Job hunting. Stats research. StumbleUpon.

5. How about when you’re not on the computer?
I get off the computer?

6. What do you wish people who read your blog knew about you?
That I tend to write and post my blogs when it’s like 4:30 in the morning and I’m half asleep. At that time of night (morning?) my ability to write cohesive sentences is at it’s lowest and I’m a lazy butt who never proofreads anything, so that’s my explanation for about 99% of the typos/nonsensical sentences/lack of interpretable phrases. Sometimes I accidentally my posts.

7. What is your favorite community in the blogosphere?
The blogosphere itself! Though the R community is awesome. We need each other.

8. What is your philosophy on your blog layout?
I’d like my individual posts to be “separated.” By that, I mean that I’d like a break in whatever color/box houses the body text of each blog. I’d like there to be only one side menu. I’d like to be able to customize the colors and the header. I’d like the title to be an obviously different style than the body text. Actually, I like my current blog layout quite a lot.

9. Tell me about your picture you use to represent you on your blog.
It’s one of the few pictures of me where I don’t look up to my usual standards of hideousness.

10. Pick three random blogs posts and tell us about them.
Random post button, ACTIVATE!
I miss my artsy-fartsy childhood sometimes: I talk about the Art Camp I used to religiously attend as a kid and rave about Dogwood Ceramic Supply.
LEIBNIZ DAY: I get overly appropriately excited for Leibniz’ birthday.
In this blog: I attempt to sell a ShamWow to Superman: exactly what it sounds like.

11. What features do you think your blog should have that it doesn’t currently?
I’d like to be more in control of the colors. I know that’s not really a feature feature, but it matters to me. A lot.

12. What do you consider the 10 most “telling” interests that we would infer from what you blog about?
Statistics, Leibniz, surveys, weird pictures, YouTube videos, colors, drawing, making lists, music, R.

13. Do you have any unique interests that you have never shared before? What are they?
Yes. But I’m not telling. HA.

14. The best thing about blogging is all of the friends that you make. Beside from those folks, do you think your blog has fans?
I’ve got seven followers. I know two of them personally. Either one of these fellows is from Ohio, or I’ve got a random creeper who lives there, ‘cause aside from Idaho it’s the state from which I’ve had the most visitors (hello, Ohio Creeper!). Ohio Creeper would be a good band name. Or a plant.
What was the question?
Oh, yeah. Fans. I really have no idea. I jump around topics so much that this is probably the least focused blog ever; I don’t see many people liking that style. I like it in other blogs, but I’m strange.

15. What’s your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
I guess it’s R, though that’s not really “current.” I really like trying to figure out how to write code for various things, especially things for which commands already exist. It’s fun!

16. What are you glad you did but haven’t really had a chance to post about?
Something way back when. It’s private, hence my not posting much about it.

17. How many people that first became a blog friend, have you met face to face?
No blog friends! Forever alone.

18. What don’t you talk about here, either because it’s too personal or because you don’t have the energy?
I try to avoid talking about my mental health (or lack thereof). The little bit that does get through is just the occasional blah-blah that I have to get out if I want to avoid spontaneously combusting.

19. What’s a question that you’d love to answer?
I don’t know, how ‘bout someone ask me?

20. Have you ever lost a blogging friendship and regretted it?
I don’t think I’ve ever really *made* a blogging friendship.

21. Have you ever lost a blogging friendship and thought, “Was that overdue!”
See above.
