A Childhood Friend
Your score was 38 in Unbelievability!
You are your author’s childhood friend, and a good example of a fun character for fiction writers everywhere. You’re a pretty neat person- but still very real. You are a person of few extremes, but you have your moments of glory. When you’re at your best, people can be wowed by you- but you’re not always at your best. And that’s OK. You’re only human. A novel with you as a character would sell quite well. It might not make the New York Times’ bestseller list, but then again, it might. Who knows? Most people would certainly buy a book with you as a character in it. Well, they might wait for it be available in paperback- but they’d buy it eventually.

It’s been a good week for interesting links…
From Pukka:

Not from Pukka:

While still waiting for my work PC to finish install, I did some web surfing online research and ran across a couple of Iowa bloggers that I didn’t know about. These bloggers had links to other Iowa bloggers that I was unaware of. So if you visit the Iowa Blogs section of my Portal page; you’ll find a quite a few new blogs. It’s nice to find some other local color online. 🙂

Normally, I’d save this for my weekly posting of links from Pukka but I’m reinstalling some software on my main work PC and am bored out of my skull while I wait for it to complete. So I visited the link from Pukka on another PC and scripted up this battle of titans!

Hmm? Oh yeah, the link is flickrTagFight. The idea is very simple; you input 2 terms and the site returns a seletion of photos from flickr with those tags (as well as telling you how many photos have the tag). The site even provides a handy dropdown box for you to select some of the classic battles of the ages (good vs. evil, cat vs. dog, etc..).

My battle of choice? Read on to find out!

It’s “Sushi vs. Pizza” tonight here on flickrTagDeathMatch!!!! In this corner, known for being all too raw and ready to go. The oriental mad man….. SUSHI! In the opposite corner, known for being hot & greasy. The american favorite…. PIZZA! And the fight has started! BAM! CRASH! ZAP! The images are loading on my screen now! *whew* What a match that was! Folks, if you weren’t here tonight; you’ve missed a battle of epic proportions a cool website. The like of which I’ve not seen in my 20 years covering the ring 10 minutes or so of writing up this silly narrative. Such fury and rage has never before been seen in the ring website! The clashing of heavily muscled bodies, flinging each other about the ring nicely taken photos of artfully prepared sushi and heavily-loaded pizzas all on the same page! And the undisputed champion of tonight’s match is the one, the only SUSHI!1

1 At the time of this writing, Flickr had 6480 photos tagged with Sushi vs. 5100 for Pizza.

I’ve not been posting for the last few days, so here’s another quiz to help tide you over until I can build up enough *umph* to write up a real post.

Official Survivor
Congratulations! You scored 79%!
Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the
right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere.
Nobody’s perfect, at least you’re alive.
