I Write Like is a web tool/toy that uses futuristic robot algorithms to tell you what famous writer’s style most closely resembles your own. I put in part of the first chapter of Hubris and got this:

I write like
William Shakespeare

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Um…thanks?

Thoughts on Chicago Losing the Olympic Bid

Yeah, it would have been cool to be the world’s focus for a couple of weeks. We’d have bragging rights, at least those of us who think that an opportunity to lose tons of money and build a whole bunch of one-use buildings is something to brag about. But does this city really need more construction and more tourists? Seriously think about that the next time you try driving through downtown in the summer.

I love Chicago and I’ll always root for it, but something tells me this is better for us in the long run. This would never have been the Columbian Exposition anyway. Cheer up, Chi-town, just be glad you’re you.
