01 Dec 06 Nerd Level
I don’t generally like to post these, but today I felt like displaying my nerd factor:
Yup, I’m a nerd. And a geek.
19 Apr 06 If Money Were No Object
I only do memes once in a very great while. Mostly, I tend to think of them as blog clutter, so I usually try to avoid them. But one comes along periodically that seems fun. And since I’m not feeling all that terrific today (sick and exhausted), this is what you get.
If money were no object, I would:
- Pay off all my loans.
- Completely fix up and repair my house.
- Buy the rest of the land my wife and I want and build her that equine facility she’s always wanted.
- Let my wife quit her job so she can train horses and riders full time.
- Quit my job and take up writing full time.
- Pick up subscriptions to several of the SF&F magazines I’ve been eyeing lately.
- Buy all the books on my wish list and spend the next few months reading them.
Those are the bulk of my long-term ambitions at this point. Unfortunately, money is an object, and an obstacle, and only time and patience will see any or all of these dreams realized.
12 Jan 06 Blogging Style
I got sucked in. I don’t usually post results like these….
| Your Blogging Type is Confident and Insightful |
 Both creative and logical, you come up with amazing ideas and insights. A total perfectionist, you find yourself revising and rewriting posts a lot of the time. You blog for yourself – and you don’t care how popular (or unpopular) your blog is! |
Agree or disagree? I think it’s spot-on, though the fact that the survey is only a couple of questions long pretty much destroys any actual reliability or validity it might hold….

14 Jun 04 IQ
Tickle: IQ and Personality Tests – The Classic IQ Test
Your IQ score is 136 This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others. Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.
—————————————————-
Hmm…. I dunno just how ‘scientific’ this thing actually is. It has good face validity, but the number of questions is pretty low (40 questions), which makes it potentially inaccurate because it limits just how much data it can collect. But I do like the outcome…. 
And frankly, the intellectual type does match quite well…. Though there is no way I’m going to pay for a 15-page report from a company I know nothing about, especially when it runs the risk of being wrong…. shrugs Ah, well….

Yeah, stole this from someone else, but since it is related to my field, I don’t feel too guilty about it.
