			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m confused&#8230;.</p>
<p>I had to wonder when <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/12487955830763214746">Christie</a> at Observations of a Nerd proclaimed that she was <a href="http://observationsofanerd.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-have-news.html">actually a man</a>. I mean, I have never met her, but from previous postings etc., I was pretty sure the author of the blog was a female.  However it seems her writing is decidedly male, at least according to one analysis.</p>
<p>According to the site <a href="http://genderanalyzer.com/">GenderAnalyzer.com</a>, which analyzes the gender of the author of a site based on their writings, I also may have an identity issue to deal with on top of GRE&#8217;s, Grad school applications, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>It seems Eclectic Echoes is decidedly gender neutral. (Technically 53% male).<br />
<a href="http://larvalimages.com/">Larval Images is decidedly male  at a ranking of 74% male, and<br />
</a><a href="http://other95.blogspot.com/">The Other 95%</a> is comparatively dripping with testosterone at 84% male.</p>
<p>Of course since I blog at TO95% with Kevin, I decided to analyze his other sites as well.<br />
<a href="http://deepseanews.com">Deep Sea News</a> (with co-bloggers Craig McClain and Peter Etnoyer) scores strongly male, but at 81%<br />
I also tried <a href="http://web.mac.com/kzelnio/Homepage/Home.html">Kevin&#8217;s home page</a>, but according to the analyzer it is not written in English (?!) so it could not complete the analysis.<br />
Unfortunately without a site exclusively authored by Kevin, I don&#8217;t think there is a solid way to break out each author&#8217;s effects accurately.</p>
<p>Aside from the fact they probably need more training data for increased accuracy, what conclusions can you draw? (While I get back to studying aggregate supply and demand curves and writing a paper on oxygen isotopes and global climate analysis)</p>
