I took the Myers Briggs Test over at similarminds.com, and was surprised at the results. Basically, Extrovert & Introvert were 50%, and the tie between the two is broken randomly – I read that to mean I’m either both of the following, or either is likely (maybe it depends on what side of the bed… Continue reading T+13 and counting

Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas, my gentle readers! I hope Christmas is as restful for y’all as it is for me!
Dave Winey
Courtesy of del.icio.us, Dave Winer whines about the open source software developed by Dean and Clark campaigns to run their online campaigns. Winer’s key quote: “How sad to see two leading Democrats fall for, even feed the lie that they can create user-oriented software for free.” I don’t know, but I think that (for one),… Continue reading Dave Winey
exercise
I just found “Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Total Body Workout” on Apple iTunes. It’s basically an Arnold work out tape, where he exhorts you to “concentrate on that tricep,” “squeeze! crunch! crunch,” “and make your thighs burn!” to such classics as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “867-5309,” “Let Your Body Rock,” and (my personal favorite) “It’s Raining Men.” Luckily,… Continue reading exercise
Demosthenes (but male!)
About every other week I realize I know about 1% of everything I want to know, and I’ve been to about 1% of all the places I’d like to go.

eggnog? automobile? beverage!
I was in Heinen’s today doing some grocery shopping, when my eye was caught by a plain looking bottle of eggnog. I stopped to look at it, when a passing employee said, “That’s really good eggnog! If you ask me, it’s the Posrche of eggnogs! Though his statement didn’t include a hyperlink, I couldn’t help… Continue reading eggnog? automobile? beverage!
400 meters
My todo list did get done. I had a duplicate on my whiteboard. Things got crossed off there. Incidentally, I think they all went well. Now, there’s new stuff on the list, but things aren’t so rushed. I’m still a little worried about 1 class – I did well on the final, but there’s still… Continue reading 400 meters
The End (well, sortof)
The semester ended yesterday. Everyone seems to be glad of that. I’d have to agree – this semester has been pure hell in some respects. I got a lot of work done, though – and hopefully next semester will be a little calmer. We kicked off the end of the semester with a party at… Continue reading The End (well, sortof)
Yes, more child’s play
According to Penny Arcade Child’s Play is going well. The response was so huge that the post office couldn’t deliver them. As in “3 truckloads worth.” Response from people I know has generated $100, so if people are interested, let me know
