This is awesome. Really, really awesome. A few years ago, Google released a huge archive (~100gb uncompressed) of n-grams from web pages, that includes 13,588,391 individual words.
This guy used that data to generate visualizations for bigrams and trigrams starting with pronouns (I, you, she, etc).
“These visual comparisons allow us to see differences in how the two subjects are used - both where they are similar and diverge. For example, among the top 120 trigrams, ‘He’ and ‘She’ have many common second words. However, they differ on some interesting ones, for example, only ‘he’ connects to ‘argues’, while only ‘she’ connects to ‘love’.”
They’re also really pretty.

Taking advantage of the perks of being a fully-fledged Official Music Blogger™ and listening to the signed Stoney (last.fm) CDs I just got in the mail.
It’s actually pretty good, on first listen. This’ll pop up on Tuneage later, I think. And maybe the CDs will pop up in the giveaway prize pool Nope, keepin’ em for myself, fuck you guys..
Oh, by the way...
