Something else fun. Little personality style test. Short, just seventy questions with two choices each. I think I did something like this a long time ago, and I'm pretty much still the same. This free test only gives you part of your profile (two letters), but it's still cool. Check it out.

I came out as an Idealist (NF). If I remember correctly, that stands for "Intuitive" and "Feeler." My whole test was INFP - an Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiver. I guess that part of me hasn't changed. INFPs make up for 1% of the population.
Read the report and find out more on my personal site.
OOOoohhh - now this is cool

Interesting. Someone takes a documentary look at the religious side of President Bush.
George W. Bush: Faith in the White House.
(I didn't know Grizzly Adams had formed a production company!)
Forget looking for aliens in the sky - we got plenty of them in our oceans. Check out these Bioluminescent Organisms that live in the deep deep down where nobody goes. All clear-bodied and glowy. Weird.
And just for chuckles, here are a few more oddities. I find the blobfish particularly interesting/disgusting, as well as the chimaera fish, which is just freaky. Of course, if you just want to have nightmares, make this fangtooth fish, this dragonfish, or this viperfish your desktop wallpaper.
You know, as I think about it, there's probably a reason why these fish live deep deep down where nobody goes...

Check it out! The ultra-small T-Cube - a computer as small as an orange!
Read about this and a whole truckload of other cool gadgets on I4U.com.
My only question is why is the US always so slow to get the cool stuff? Asia and Europe are always way ahead in the tech cool factor, in as far as what's available.

Two new little things on this site.
One: Blogspot/google made a change on here. Instead of having ads on the top, they put a search bar for users to search my site for past topics/keywords. Seems only to work with older items though, not the most recent. Work in progress I guess. Either that or the bots have crawled my spot for a couple of days.
Two: Added a link to get a daily "This Is True" story posted on my site. Because of size and weird color schemes that I can't control, this has found a home on the very bottom of my site. Fun to read, but I don't control the content, so be forewarned.
Enjoy! :)

Oh yeah, almost forgot - I hate politics, but with so much of it going on all the time, I decided I had to start a new blog devoted just to the nonsense of it that pervades our airwaves and webspace. It is Political Nonsense (polinon.blogspot.com). It's a work in progress though, so be kind.
The advancements in tech are going to be so cool in the next twenty years. I just saw the newest thing on the horizon - Metal Rubber. It's so freakin cool.
Just add it to the growing list (here, and here) of cool tech advancements. Last I heard, molecular computing had made a couple more advancements too. Yee haa!

All I can say is - Don't mess with lions - especially if you're a hyena. When daddy comes home daddy cleans house. Want to see what I mean? Check out the link. It's a lion-hyena war going on.
