I decided to change up the “Recent Posts” on the sidebar with a “Best of” sidebar.  I’ve determined my “Best of” based on the posts that seem to still get a lot of hits (like my plinko post) and then other posts that focus on my various daytrips.

Over on the Project 365 site, I updated it to include a ratings system, so you can give a plus or a minus to the various photos.  Eventually, after enough people vote, the high score page will highlight what people think are the best pictures from the project.

So please visit the 365 site and vote away!

It’s called Webpages as Graphs and it’s wicked cool.

From their page:

blue: for links (the A tag)
red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green: for the DIV tag
violet: for images (the IMG tag)
yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black: the HTML tag, the root node
gray: all other tags

Here’s http://www.coreyhulse.com. You can see the main site content on the left, and my sidebar with the links on all the blue explosions on the right.

And here’s my Project 365 site, at http://www.coreyhulse.com/365/.  I think it looks like a large firework.

My brother Ryan has a site at http://www.ryanehulse.com/, and the intro page is just a picture and some text.  You can see the simplicity in the HTML structure in the visualization of his site.

My friend Ryan has an even simpler site at http://www.ryanweicker.com/.

When you put popular sites in, you can see the differences between a site with a simpler interface like Google verses a news site like CNN.

What a cool tool!  I, like many people I presume, have a facination with the visualization of data.  There was a book that my colleague told me about which was full of all sorts of graphs and charts and the interesting stories behind them.  I’m blanking on the name of it, but if anyone knows of this book please let me know.

Also, if you have any sites which look really cool definately share them here.

I also recently discovered the WordPress application for the iPhone. This opens up a whole world of possibilities, like liveblogging from mudane events so that my grandmom can keep tabs on me (hi Grandmom!).

ninjas in business suits!

So last night I picked up an iPhone.  The problem here is that I couldn’t port my contacts from the Sprint SIM to the AT&T AIM, so I have no contacts in my phone right now.

So how can you help?  Well, if you currently have my number, then getting in contact with me so I have your number again would be very helpful.  There are a few options:

1) Send me a text message.
2) Send me an E-Mail, IM, or Facebook Message.

Required:
Your Name
Your Number

Optional:
E-Mail Address
Birthday
A Personal Greeting
Favorite Color
Favorite Prime Number
Favorite Album
$500 in Cash

Also, a cool new project is in the works.  Yum Yum.

Right here on opening day, I’ve currently got four photos up for sale, one of which is the picture I took at the Relay For Life at Penn event last year during the Luminaria ceremony.  With every print I sell, I’m donating a portion of the proceeds to Relay.

So please, check it out, give me feedback, and maybe if you’re feeling saucy you’ll buy some of my photos. There’s also a Store RSS feed for those of you cool enough to use aggregators.

Click here to visit the store!

Also, I’ve updated the blog thrice today. And now, I’m going to bed.
