The Trainspotters' Guide to Buffy and Angel: #48: Prof. Walsh
http://buffyandangeltrainspotters.blogspot.com/2010/05/48-prof-walsh.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. 48: Prof. Walsh. Professor Walsh is entirely a season four phenomenon, débuting in the Joss Whedon-penned season opener, “ The Freshman. 8221; and going on to appear in eight of the first thirteen episodes, often as the stock university professor (she is the only one of any real consequence we ever meet). Her swan song, season 13, “ The I in Team. 8221; Inasmuch as it even counts, her five-word appearance here is her briefest appearance. Total words spoken on Buffy. Collects rand...

The Trainspotters' Guide to Buffy and Angel: #39: Snyder
http://buffyandangeltrainspotters.blogspot.com/2010/06/39-snyder.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Principal Snyder is a pretty good example of tenacity: he makes it onto this list, at 39th no less, without ever really being a character of any consequence. There are no 'Snyder episodes', and most of the time he's just a minor annoyance: a mosquito buzzing around the ears of the main characters. Snyder makes the top five precisely twice: finishing fifth in “ School Hard. 8221; and finishing fourth in “ Band Candy. 8221;, is the last episode of season three, and the last episode f...

The Trainspotters' Guide to Buffy and Angel: The Top Fifty Buffyverse Characters
http://buffyandangeltrainspotters.blogspot.com/2010/05/top-fifty-buffyverse-characters_21.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. The Top Fifty Buffyverse Characters. A significant portion of this blog is going to be dedicated to statistical analysis of the dialogue of the two TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Still, it's a list with merit, and each of the fifty will get an entry - counting down, one per weekday, from 50 to 1 - listing various stats related to that person. And a picture of each! As the list grows, I'll provide links to each page from here. 48 Professor Maggie Walsh. 32 Principal Robin Wood.

Sunday, June 6, 2010. Horoscopes Monkey Trial: Your week 7 - 13 June 2010. 7 - 13 JUNE 2010. You will find it difficult to sleep without the aid of a lullaby. Hold your breath until you turn blue this week. Then join the Blue Man Group. The Taurus with a thirst for knowledge can expect humidity and a high of 25 degrees on Wednesday. Untold horrors will rain down upon all those who misspell the word 'barbecue'. Try to budget yourself this week. Don't spend too much money on peanut butter or raisins...

Understanding Google Trends: Google Insights: top-selling artists of 2003
http://understandinggoogletrends.blogspot.com/2009/11/google-insights-top-selling-artists-of.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. Google Insights: top-selling artists of 2003. I did this search to check on longevity in the music business. Google Insights goes back to January 2004, a time at which these artists would have been, presumably, been popular searches, as they are the artists responsible for the best-selling CDs of 2003 (one reason I chose 2003 instead of 2004 is that it's a more interesting list). To see the stats themselves, the top five selling CDs in the USA in 2003 are:. A bit of random st...

Poll Vaulting: Canada: Un-Cult of Un-Personality
http://pollvaulting.blogspot.com/2010/05/canada-un-cult-of-un-personality.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Canada: Un-Cult of Un-Personality. Image by John Hansen. Measurable, and I think you could make some good arguments that it's not, support for Michael Ignatieff is abysmal. The man is just not very popular - not even within his own party. I have an EKOS poll. That's a few weeks old that tells much the same story - but check out the partisan numbers:. Nationwide: 43% approve, 26% disapprove, 31% DK/NR. NDP: 69% approve, 11% disapprove, 20% DK/NR. The third question is something on...

Last Thoughts on Michael Jackson: Michael Jackson and Six Degrees of Separation
http://lastthoughtsonmichaeljackson.blogspot.com/2010/03/michael-jackson-and-six-degrees-of.html
Last Thoughts on Michael Jackson. Saturday, March 13, 2010. Michael Jackson and Six Degrees of Separation. Anyway, that leads to the Oracle of Bacon, where any movie actor is shown to connect to Kevin Bacon in a similar way - not mutual acquaintances but co-stars. Two people who have appeared in the same movie connect just as, in the original theory, two acquaintances connect. It doesn't have to be. One of Michael Jackson's closest friends, co-starred with him in "The Wiz". Is, of course, Michael's siste...

The best songs in the world... ever!: "Birthday" by the Sugarcubes (1987)
http://bestsongsintheworldever.blogspot.com/2010/04/birthday-by-sugarcubes-1987.html
The best songs in the world. ever! Saturday, April 24, 2010. Birthday" by the Sugarcubes (1987). Shrug I was the only person in my high school of that opinion, if I can test your credibility by actually claiming that enough people in an Ontario high school knew of the Sugarcubes to hold discussions. The album is far from perfect. It startes to get a bit repetitive towards the end, and of course Einar Örn grates like fingernails on a million chalkboards. It's not a classic album. But this. Reflection of h...

Poll Vaulting: February 2011
http://pollvaulting.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 10, 2011. A seventh: the Reform party comtended the 1988 election, but as a relatively minor party that took no seats. I don't include the 1988 election, because it ruins the narrative: one of the PC imploding spectacularly and two parties being born as a result, one of which is called Reform. Canadian electoral history is divided into pre-1993 and post-1993. So 1988 is 'old-school'. Irrelevant. If this party just didn't exist, where would the Albertan vote go? High margins of victory,...
