The
key is as follows:







What do the colors mean?

  • blue:
    for links (the A tag)
  • red:
    for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
  • green:
    for the DIV tag
  • violet:
    for images (the IMG tag)
  • style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51); font-weight: bold;">yellow:
    for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
  • style="color: rgb(255, 153, 51); font-weight: bold;">orange:
    for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
  • black:
    the HTML tag, the root node
  • style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;">gray:
    all other tags



What
is interesting is to go back and look at href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/05/graphing_pharyngula.php">PZ's
early one.  I'm pretty sure the yellow dandelion in
the two above comes from the drop-down menu with all the blogs.
 PZ doesn't have one, but href="http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2006/05/web_phylogeny_of_this_blog.php">GrrlScientist
does, only a little bit later.  It was smaller then.



It would be a lot more interesting to see it in four dimensions. For
now, we'll just have to imagine it.

OK, PZ, Grrlscientist, and John have all done it. They've used a cool little applet to show their blogs as graphs. I figured I'd give it a try, too. Why not? (Click on the image to see the graph construct itself.) Basically, the applet shows the tree structure of a web page in a rather interesting…

Todays programming pathology is programs as art. Start with a really simple stack based language, add in a crazy way of encoding instructions using color, and you end up with a masterpiece of beautiful insanity. It's not too exciting from a purely computational point of view, but the programs are…
