My first painting of 2011 is completed, A Glimpse Inside The Tunnel (29x29 cm) is about being trapped by paralysis. The tunnel is an eye and outer space. As a glimpse into an eye, this could be about psychological paralysis too.
Yesterday I wrote a program to analyse text and work out the frequencies of the first letters of words in English. This was for a party game idea that I wanted to make. The results show that T is by far the most popular first letter for English words, followed by A. E, although very popular in words, is not that special as a first letter.
I had to write a program because I couldn't find the results online so I'll post them here for others to use. I intend to post a more comprehensive analysis on my website. These results used the first chapters of Robinson Crusoe and Brave New World: A=1052, B=421, C=316, D=259, E=218, F=373, G=170, H=486, I=559, J=19, K=40,L=211, M=555, N=210, O=605, P=212, Q=20, R=206, S=663, T=1501, U=112, V=62, W=688, X=2, Y=90, Z=2.
