365 (+1) days of being jealous. What better way to show a year of posts from this site than through a clever bit of scripting that creates a cloud of words from provided text (in this case, from many of the posts seen here). Wordle creates beautiful word clouds. What does your cloud say?

June 23, 2008of your doom
June 6, 2008On December 21, 2012, our world, as we know it, will be forever changed. So says Marshall Masters—a leading proponent regarding a mystery planet (a brown dwarf binary twin of the Sun) that is destined to cross paths with our own solar system. Bruce Willis can’t save you now.
of your neutrality
June 3, 2008Net neutrality is a principle, in a very basic form, that the internet should be free (no restrictions or extra charges on websites of all kinds). Apparently, major ISPs have decided to band together and charge the internet like cable providers charge for television stations. By the year 2012. Your world, denied.
of your names
May 15, 2008A portion of John Hodgman’s book The Areas of My Expertise includes a list of 700 hobo names. Apparently, Mr. Hodgman is quite the expert on hobos and hobo-life and this list has inspired a worthy project to illustrate said hobo names. E-Hobo.com sports a gallery of art depicting each hobo, plus a few more. John was gracious enough to record himself reading the names.
of your satire
May 10, 2008of your critique
May 1, 2008Video game reviews are generally straight forward and filled with a lot of technical jargon on bit-depth, sound quality and general gameplay. If you want more than just the technical mumbo-jumbo, turn nowhere else than British-born, Australian-based writer/gamer Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw for some fast-talking, hilarious and incredibly frank commentary on the games we’re eager to drop our dime on. Your credit card has no reset button.
of your noodle
April 19, 2008In response to a hearing to decide whether Kansas schools should employ the alternative theory of Intelligent Design alongside the theory of Evolution, Bobby Henderson sent an open letter to propose an equally weighted theory. That being of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the power he possesses in His Noodly Appendage. WWFSMD?
of your draw
April 17, 2008The news is boring. However, we need to know what is being said. Enter Josh Landis and Mitch Butler with their Fast Draw blog that illustrates the news you need to know, brilliantly. Their commentary can get a bit animated.















of your move
June 29, 2008Hard to believe that these green halls have been around for an entire year (and a Leap Year at that). After posting over 365 things to be jealous of, better digs were certainly in order. Of course, this means all RSS feeds and bookmarks will need to be updated and as much of a hassle as that can be, faith dictates you’ll make those changes. With new housing comes new paint and furnishings, so look forward to enhanced improvements and additions (such as submitting your own jealousies) to the new “i am jealous” over at the new iamjealo.us site.
