Maybe I took it and posted the results on Zero, back in the day. Ah well. I’ve (re)taken The Geek Test, and here’s what it has to say:
36.29191% – Major Geek
I’d probably have done better if I was more into Trek, RPGs and math. And by “better” I mean “geekier,” so take that how you will.
PAST: Did you, or did you not, eat your vegetables as a youngster?
PRESENT: What sorts of veggies will and won’t you eat nowadays?
FUTURE: Which would you rather end up: Vegetable or mineral? (We’re assuming you’re currently an animal, here. If otherwise, you should really let us know.)
A bit silly, yes, but at least it’s not directly topical for a change! Leave your answers (or a link thereto), and while you’re at it feel free to suggest “seed ideas” for the Final Five…
Thanks for stopping by!

I did take another picture, the other day. I couldn’t be bothered to upload it until tonight. Sorry.
Yep, Erica made a bunny out of snow. Ain’t that cute?
So here I am at work, past 8pm on a Friday night. Why? Email stuff, mostly. As in, if I don’t get the email server purges done now I may face a catastrophic failure before Monday. Le sigh.
One of the engineers was kind enough to run me down to Zupan’s and back with some food to keep me going for the evening. While looking for snack chips, I spotted a product that made my eyes bug out… so of course I had to buy and try it.
Is it just me, or do these two words not go together? Of course… these Cheetos are quite tasty, so I suppose I’m making much ado about nada.
Now back to watching the email maintenance run, and run, and run. Have a great evening, all!
UPDATE: Jenn came up with something that makes even less sense… vegetarian bologna. What’s the world coming to, eh?
First we had a sports station named The Fan.
Recently Rosie… er, Rosey 105 became The Buzz.
And now, as of yesterday, country station KWJJ has become… The Wolf.
Remember a time when radio stations were known by their calls? Apparently that time is now past, or at least it’s no longer fashionable in the industry.
What’s next? Will our oldies station become The Fogey? We could change our news/talk to station to The Talk. It’s hard to say what classic-rock stalwart KGON would become. The Rock? Nah, we’d get in trouble with Prudential and some nutjob wrestler/movie-star over that one. No good suggestions come to mind for our “new rock” station, KNRK, though plenty of snarky ideas are easily conjured.
Branding, baby. It’s the buzzword of our times. Welcome to the new age, a lot like the past age but with sillier nomenclature.
Remember the d’Artagnan incident? Almost a year ago it was, and this morning I was reminded of it by the following email:
Just ran a search of the web and found this!
Glad I could affect your life Dartagnian!Happy New Year!

That’s right, James P. Connolly was checking the web for instances of his own name. Hey, nothing wrong with that; we’ve all done it at least once. Full marks to the guy for taking a moment to type out a quick bit of something.
Just for that, here’s a link to his website. Because, hey, I’m all about the positive rewards of cheerful politeness.

I looked outside this morning. Yep, still white. I turned on the news. Yep, still cold, still crappy bus service (though that’s no fault of Tri-Met!), and the thaw’s not due until almost quitting time.
For grins and chuckles I took my camera outside. What surprised me wasn’t how white everything looked, but how well I was able to stand on top of the snow. I felt a bit like Legolas in FotR. Can you say, “solid layer of ice atop five inches of snow”? I knew you could.
By the way, pictures are forthcoming. I just have to wait for my camera battery to recharge. I knew I forgot something important yesterday… and where the hell is my spare? Argh.
UPDATE: Spare battery found. Here are some new pictures. More to come, probably…
