Thanks to many of the StackOverflow.com users for pointing me to the official data dump, available here, I was able to complete my experiment.

I measured, using the number of questions asked containing a specific tag, the activity of various programming languages throughout the week. My hypothesis is: Newer dynamic languages like Ruby and Python will see a rise in questions asked on the weekend while more corporate languages like C# and Java will see a dropoff in activity on the weekend.
