hmm

i googled my blog name for fun today and discovered that it has been linked here, in a database for sociology research. dr. butts' cv doesn't shed any light on why he's keeping this database, but if you download blogstuff.zip here (warning: it's large), you get statistical maps created on R that seem to be something to do with spheres of influence/degrees of separation in social networks. fascinating; i wonder how he found/chose my page. i feel like e-mailing him to find out more.
