This week’s Hero of the Week comes early cause I plan on being the hell away from the internet for a good week and a half. HERO OF THE WEEK unofficially began with Danny DeVito’s The View tirade. I made the decision to do HOTW every week but finals made me forget my head.
As long as I remember the commitment, HOTW will be: 1)weekly 2)around Friday or so and 3) possibly in the Groonkly Bits section. Thereby forcing me to put words, even the stupidest of words, to digital paper at least once a week.
The Library Thing has a new feature called The Unsuggester which works as follows.
Unsuggester takes “people who like this also like that” and turns it on its head. It analyzes the eight million books LibraryThing members have recorded as owned or read, and comes back with books least likely to share a library with the book you suggest. The unsuggestions come from LibraryThing data, not from Amazon.
I ran my latest pet peeve Eragon through The Unsuggester and it verified many suspicions. Some author names that came up: Fyodor Dostoevsky, C. G. Jung,Hunter S. Thompson, Sigmund Freud, William Faulkner, Aristotle, and Ian Fleming to name a few. According to The Unsuggester, Eragon is the antithesis of any kind of intelligent thought. Sure, that’s a bold statement, but that’s my new creedo, “Bold and an opinionated prick.”
As most outspoken writers tend to be.
