I didn’t sign up for this…Did I?
We’ve all installed software on our computers. We’re familiar with the advice to read every contract before signing it, right? Yet, right before the install there is a LOT of text explaining in a LOT of detail what the “terms of use” are. I will guess that 98% of us don’t read [...]

I recently participated in a book meme where bloggers were asked to pick up the nearest book, turn to page 123, and report sentences 6, 7, & 8 on that page.
The following was not part of the meme, but since I ended up with nine players and very interesting quotes, I decided to string them [...]
Fiction, this time.
Some weeks back, I participated in a book meme (questionnaire) and chose only non-fiction books. There are so many books I find important, that it felt like a good idea to break it down that way. Now, I’m back with my fiction list, along with some reasons for picking the ones I did.
01. One book [...]

I had taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator several times before, but I’d never seen anything quite like this take on it by our friends at Blogthings (otherwise known as Blogger’s Block’s Best Friend)

I wanted to wait a few days before posting this to be sure. I brought my computer (affectionately known as “The Beast” 
home from its second stay at a rehabilitation center and spa in [California] on Friday. And Saturday.
Three weeks ago, my video card was going, going, almost gone. The color red had [...]
I’m a Sci-Fi reader. Take me seriously, please!
I read science fiction avidly. The majority of television that I watch (and I’m fairly selective) is at least somewhat sci-fi related, and many of the movies I see have a sci-fi or fantasy theme. Given all that, you’d think most of my friends would be sci-fi fans, too. They are not. In fact, they [...]

I was tagged for a book meme by my friend dovelove. I’m pleased to share my thoughts. Because my interests are so wide-ranging, for this meme I’ll choose books known in the publishing vernacular as “non-fiction”. (I don’t think there is as big a line between “fiction” and “non-fiction” as some do.) I’ll save “Literature” [...]

I’ve seen this “three question” personality test several times, but I thought: “Naahh, they couldn’t evaluate my complex self with only three questions! ) However—-I finally took the quiz. I’ve never thought of myself as especially “rational”, but the description is very accurate, except for one or two minor points. (I’ll leave you to [...]

It’s going to be a whole year until the new Star Trek movie comes out! In the meantime, there IS a quiz….It comes from a “make your own quiz” site. These can be great, but I wonder about the scoring methods and, in couple of cases, language usage by the author. Given all that, I [...]

Given the way my blog’s been going lately, this just figures…
Find out your Harry Potter personality at LiquidGeneration!
Thank you (I think) to duskman’s mindful meanderings for posting the quiz. I’m actually fine with the character and the description. Before the Potter saga, my favorite wizard was Merlin (still is), or “The Merlin” depending on who [...]
