“Found in two percent (at most) of the population, Inventors are good at functional analysis, and have both a tolerance for and enjoyment of complex problems.” That’s an interesting piece of information, and it apparently describes me. I took the Jung Typology Test as recommended by Darren Barefoot. He speaks of them as being accurate,… Continue reading The Portrait of the Inventor Rational

Population Limiters in Effect
I read Darren’s comments on an article regarding the cancer-causing agents in red meat. Not that anyone has said there are carcinogens in steak, but there seems to be some sort of accusatory game going on. I’m neither a vegetarian nor a carnivore, but rather what humans were meant to be; omnivores. Darren is too,… Continue reading Population Limiters in Effect
Yet Another Way to Strike Fear into Evil-Doers
Via Engadget: German robocops to police next World Cup? “…the almost four-foot tall robot uses a thermal camera and sensors to smell the terror in the air and sound an alarm.” If you can get some rubber bullet-firing machine guns mounted to this thing, we’re in business for real crowd control. Mindless riot-squashing robots care… Continue reading Yet Another Way to Strike Fear into Evil-Doers
Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! Later this morning (around 10:00am) we’ll be enjoying the Gainesville parade with the kids at the Quinlan Art Camp. It should be a good time. I don’t think that Balthazar has seen a parade yet. Enjoy your holiday if you get one!
Lava Orange (Georgia Clay)
I finally got my new car after seemingly insurmountable odds against me. We’ve had a string of bad luck lately, but I hope that this and other recent events signify the end of all that. You may recall the details around the purchase of Amy’s car, the Honda Element. I swore I’d never go through… Continue reading Lava Orange (Georgia Clay)
Yin and Yang
Raven met this white dog while at my mom’s farm prior to her death a little while back. We didn’t know anything of this little white puff-ball at the time, though we have since come to know her well. It turns out that her leg was broken shortly after this picture from a farm animal.… Continue reading Yin and Yang
Curtains for Bonny
Bonny, my `94 Pontiac Bonneville, finally kicked the bucket yesterday on my drive home. I’ve written about her recently – about an accident for which I still have not secured any funds for due to a State Patrol officer’s form-filling failure (damn you!). She was unable to deliver me home on this last trip; she… Continue reading Curtains for Bonny
Tobin’s Last Movement
It’s been sometime since Dan Tobin’s last entry on 365Dumps.com. The purpose of which, was to write a thought-provoking entry about Tobin’s #2’s for each day of a year. I think that maybe his fans are too critical in their judgment of this challenge. It’s not that Tobin must complete 365 entries to sign-off, but… Continue reading Tobin’s Last Movement
Your News Updates
Flickr has announced their new pricing it appears. The price is reduced a tad, but moreover the benefits have increased. Free accounts can now upload twice as much as before and you can show 200 images rather than the previous limit of 100. That’s very cool! Flickr Link. In other news, Adobe purchased Macromedia for… Continue reading Your News Updates
Accident Involving American/Chinese – No Casulaties
The picture says it all. Imagine our pretty blue planet encrusted with a garbage belt. Perhaps one day we’ll have rings the size of Saturn’s, though still just garbage. This is the sort of thing, I believe, that will continue to be a major hurdle for commercial space programs. Sure, NASA can watch the orbital… Continue reading Accident Involving American/Chinese – No Casulaties
