"Readability" Rating

So here someone rates the "readability" of your blog.I couldn't find any information on their criteria for readability . I thought about this for a bit and realized that I wasn't completely certain either of what makes any material readable . Is it only about how easy it is to read that makes it readable? Or is it about how interesting the content is that makes it really readable? I think mostly the later but surely that's hardly objective . So anyways to clarify this I looked up the definition of readability. Dictionary.com defines read·a·bil·i·ty as the state or quality of being readable which left me none the wiser. Since there is no mention of the interesting quotient , I think Funkeying with its rating should be able to attract a pretty wide audience;-).

Operating in repeat mode

Something Case wrote got me thinking about all the things I do compulsively.
1)Go to lunch at the same place everyday for weeks on end.
2)Listen to the same song all day long.
3)Latch on to an author and read thru all his\her books.
4)Buy the same clothes in multiple colors. This extends to shoes and accessories.
5)Park at the same place .
Ummmmm...

NPR fund drive and Recession

NPR is doing its fund drive this week and my 2 hr commute feels like 4.If you live in the DFW area and are reading this, please please please just give them the money and lets get them to stop. Its really annoying when the NPR folks try to sell when they are obviously so bad at it.I mean really this is why they are in NPR.... if they were any good at selling they would be in commercial radio.That and their programs are rather addictive and I miss my daily fix so yes, go donate quickly .
On other news gas is edging towards the 4$/gallon and I drive 50 miles a day . And I drink Starbucks coffee. Everyday unless its a Monday and then I drink two coffees. This is non negotiable . With all this talk of recession and whatnot I will need to work the numbers to see if staying home and not drinking coffee might be a cheaper option.
Eh!
