Thanks to Sue I took an online typology test to discover I’m an Upbeat.
I’d rather be upbeat than downbeat or deadbeat, not that they are official types. The others are Enterprisers, Social Conservatives, Pro-Government Conservatives, Disaffecteds, Liberals, Conservative Democrats, Disadvantaged Democrats and Bystanders.
It’s an American test, but substitute Labor and Liberal for Democrat and Republican [...]
Thanks to Delmer I took up the Flickr photo meme.
The concept:
Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
Using only the first page of results, pick one image.
Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Big Huge Lab’s Mosaic Maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.
The questions:
What [...]
Thanks to Sue for the lead, I took a short quiz to discover:
70%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?
It’s my observation that people who started blogging before the social networking phenomenon hit the world are still writing fairly consistently.
I don’t have any actual evidence, but I suspect the start-up rate for new serious bloggers has reduced [...]
St Patrick’s Day came and went. Because of the early Easter, St Pat’s Day was actually moved to March 15 in many places. I don’t think many Aussies heard the official edict, because we still drank Guinness and green beer on March 17.
Anyhow, it begs the question: how Irish am I? Sue from Beggars Shot [...]
Being a pragmatic, skeptical and cynical type I don’t profess to believing in horoscopes, but I do find them interesting and there’s a part of me which wants to believe.
If you accept the stereotype, I’m a fairly typical Capricorn. In the Chinese astrological universe I’m not only a Horse, but a Firehorse.
I like reading the [...]
My Firehorse horoscope on Facebook today includes: “Bureaucracy will be slower than usual, which will cause you to be in an execrable mood; but at least spare your near collaborators.”
I’m waiting for the bank to approve finance on a new housing investment loan. That seems to be a circular process which has no logical timeframe. [...]
What Famous Leader Are You?personality tests by similarminds.com
Thanks to Delmer for sharing his discovery of this online personality test.
I don’t think you can take much from the results, but I’d rather be compared with Gandhi than Hitler. I am a perfectionst, which I’ve always considered a weakness as well as a strength.
The question of leadership [...]
I had a go at one of these blog chain mail things called memes a while back. I won’t do it again, tagging other people, but the topics can be good inspiration for interesting writing. If anyone likes this one they can link back to me with their own effort.
I got the idea for it [...]
I always use at least two heaped teaspoons of coffee when I have a morning brew. I usually add another half teaspoon for good measure.
I don’t know how long I’ve been doing that for, probably since the early 90s when I became a regular coffee drinker. I stopped adding sugar to coffee at that time. [...]
I thought my Yahoo! horoscope today was fairly insightful:
As the real Capricorn that you are, you are not in the habit of talking without saying anything constructive. Sometimes some people even suspect you or accuse you of having nothing to say! When you are just being patient, they say that you are ignorant. When you [...]
