Hello again! Today we’re going to be talking about my blog categories. There are a total of 35 of them, and they break down as follows:

Posts per category

Words per category

Average number of words per post, by category

The “Surveys” category has such a high average (and total) word count because of my doing the 5,000 question survey in increments of 100 questions at a time, haha.

I’ll also give you my favorite post in each category, because I’m that exciting.

Animals: Asp caterpillars, aka Donald Trump in caterpillar form.

Art: A Flash I did about Millard Fillmore. It’s horrifically bad, which makes it fantastic. (Seriously, it’s so freaking bad.)

Blogging: I justify why my blog is important to me.

Books: I buy a copy of The Brave Little Toaster (book version) and gush about its awesomeness.

Dreams: Big Advertising vs. the Unbranded Man meet in an epic Grand Canyon showdown.

Entertainment: Our 7th grade reading group’s interpretation of Dune.

Events: Pictures from downtown Vancouver during the 2010 winter Olympics!

Family: My ancestry composition according to 23andMe.

Food: Tukey Sandwiches. Because statisticians deserve more food items named after them. Also, puns.

Games: A brief rambling about Gordon Freeman.

Health: My genetics and health risk factors, according to 23andMe.

Humor: What if the Founding Fathers communicated via chatroom? This is still my favorite blog post.

Math: I explain what it’s like to struggle with doing mental calculations.

Miscellaneous: I accidentally inhale a bee and suffer predicable consequences.

News: Vancouver sucks.

People: A post about Leibniz. Shocking, huh?

Philosophy: I talk about why I think polymathy isn’t a thing that happens anymore.

Quizzes: I discuss an in-depth aptitude test I took in 2005.

Rants: I spiral into a rage-induced rant triggered by Google.

School: What I learned during my first round of undergrad.

Science: The stability of a stool is analogous to the “stability” of a structural equation model.

Surveys: I lie a lot.

Technology: Claudia vs. Apple stores.

Travel: Bad directions and big trees.

Work: Teaching intro stats to non-stats people is important to me.
