fellow convivial sentients
so yanno i like to sometimes surf the web
there's so much to see
so many different cultures
blasphemies
sacredness
almost like i am an explorer going through 'ancient civilizations'
and we domesticated primates are still trying to figure out what to do with this glorious American invention called the Internet
here's one that i recently had fun with. ``you are what you like`` -- they take your Facebook likes and predict various things aboot you...there is an actual scientific paper on this* :3
so ya goes here: http://youarewhatyoulike.com/
and then log in to yer facebook
and very quickly it gives results
at the bottom of the webpage are links to ``aboot`` and ``how does it work`` and ``privacy``
among my results

Conscientiousness scale: Spontaneous & Flexible 58%/Well organized 42%
Extraversion scale: Shy and reserved 62%/Outgoing and active 38%
Agreeableness scale: Warmtrustingcooperative 54%/Assertive and competitive 46%
Neuroticism scale: Calm & relaxed 51%/Emotional and stressed 49%

they have links to other personality tests and even encourage us to contact them, especially if we disagree with our results ;3
you can also go here http://mypersonality.org/wiki/doku.php if you want to check into the actual data of the test -- you have to work at it and make some accountable promises to them :3
* just google ``private traits and attributes are predictable from digital records of human behavior`` and you can read the actual paper

I enjoy the animal videos people post on facebook. One friend recently posted a video of a guy interviewing a guinea pig - hilarious.
Another posted a video of a horse that decided a swim in a kid's swimming pool would be a good idea...it wanted to cool off.
My internet fun is on the "lighter side", and frivolous but cute.

you mean this guy?
(I and still crack up at his Ultimate Dog Tease vid)
(one thing I've done with my wife's head cat, Veronica, is I wrap a scarf around her head and have invented a Babushka character for her, voicing her 'eat, eat you're too skinny' and 'I'm from the old country'...Veronica seems to put up with it and my wife keeps correcting me on my improper pronounciation of Babushka...)
were you around when british tv & CBC showed "Creature Comforts"? created by Nick Park of 'Wallace & Gromit' fame (and now who has made a living off of loaning his style to those Chevron commercials...)
in related news, an article is going around the 'net and the dead-paper-tree media of the young researcher who helped John Lilly in his dolphin communication experiments
which makes me think, are there some aliens, somewhere, who have a youtube type thing where they u/l their alien abduction experiments with us? hmm...:3

The only one of my results that surprised me is it said I'm well organized.
