Cool Success

Well, the personality test did very well. Better than expected. I counted almost 100 blogs (not all appear on Daypop) that took the test and included it in their postings. There was also a MetaTalk discussion about the test and it showed amazing staying power on both Blogdex and Daypop.

I promise to now return to the normal gist of my postings and stay away from cliquish inside jokes and tech talk.

Have an awesome weekend and I will be back soon with more postings to thrill and excite you.

What Blogging Archetype Are You?

During the past 2 months I have tried to resist blogging about things that only a select community would understand. Namely, I haven't blogged about blogging because I want my real-world, offline, non-blogger friends to understand my blog. Anytime you suppress emotions and urges they fester, grow and irritate your insides. The result of me avoiding "shop talk" is one big, shameless, silly, time-wasting, blogging inside joke:

The What Blogging Archetype Are You? Personality Test!

After answering a quick and not-quite-funny-enough five question quiz you will be told which of nine possible blogging archetypes you are most like. You'll also be given a cool graphic "trading card" that Adnan was nice enough to whip up. It wasn't easy picking the nine possible answers and so not all of our fearless leaders are represented. I apologize.

Go forth my blogger friends - indulge, refer, mock!

And for my non-blogger friends: you can just mock, it's alright.






Free Idea For the Day

In the search for good karma, I will share with my great readers an idea I just had. Feel free to steal it.

What about a restaurant which only serves food prepared from "ready made" boxes, cans and containers?

Rice a Roni, Campbell's soup, TV dinners, Uncle Ben's Rice Bowls, etc.

Wouldn't it be an uber-hip hang out joint?






What Was the Offer?

We often hear that Israel had, at one time during the Clinton presidency, presented Arafat with a comprehensive plan of almost everything he ever wanted. Only recently was the details of that plan made public. Mideast envoy for Clinton, Dennis Ross, recounted the details in an interview last week. Here is the transcript. An interesting read. Arafat was offered a lot. He said no. Why?
