Chipping the web – will or love

Chipping the webHeavy: the heaviest natural element on earth is uranium, with an atomic weight of 238.02891(3) g·mol−1. Its atomic number is 92.

I’ll steal a page out of Kent’s playbook and start listing my newly subscribed (Two Write Hands) and newly unsubscribed (a whole bunch of feeds that weren’t doing anything for me — check the blogroll on the right sidebar to see if you’re still there.  But if I dropped you, you probably don’t read me anyway!)

Virtually meatless: Paul Raven interviews the first Second Life avatar to publish, in Second Life, a book in which all the action takes place in Second Life.  From the interview:

I took well documented points in Second Life history and combined them with real people and fictional characters to invent a mythical story and secret world. After all, reading a book is still the ultimate virtual reality for the human imagination, and establishing this lets Second Life exist in your mind and not just the computer.

Speaking of interviews, Stu interviews himself and provides some interesting details.  “Most humiliating moment?  anytime I come second.”  Hmm, for me it’s just the opposite.

I actually did have a question about that … how do I change the font size?

In the WordPress dashboard: Options/Jerome’s Keywords/Tag Cloud Display, set the “Tag cloud scaling” max and min. Out of the box, the values “6″ and “1″ work pretty well.

If you’re using the latest version of the widget, though, then I would recommend using “250″ and “70″, and changing the widget’s “Sizing units” option to “%”.

Not sure if I get it, but if so, LOL!

[...] Will or love: The isopsephic totals of the letters of the Greek words for “will” (thelema) and “love” (agape) are each 93, making that number a convenient salutation for Thelemites. [...]
