Somewhere along the way I ended up with two FeedBurner feeds for this blog. I’m going to be deleting both feeds and starting a new one, so subscribers may want to try re-subscribing later today (all 16 of you).

You know how people say “but she has a great personality” to describe someone who may not be attractive?

According to this personality profile, I don’t even have that going for me. Great…

The breakdown after the jump.

Reserved
You are somewhat shy, or at least unwilling to spend all your time socializing. With you it’s true that “still waters run deep,” which is why many of your acquaintances never get to know you well.

You are not always ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Whether you’re in the office or at a party, you’re not likely to be found gabbing away in the middle of a group of people.

Solitary
You are a private person, not very comfortable in a big group, and view excessive socializing as a waste of time.

You do not prefer hanging out with others to spending time alone; you do not tend to feel at home in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.

Passionate
You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don’t tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.

You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.

Unsettled
You may be comfortable on your home turf, but you have a tendency to be self-conscious in an unfamiliar environment. While you’re usually at ease with your friends, you can be a little skittish around strangers.

You usually don’t feel at home in unfamiliar settings or with new people. When you get rattled, you don’t necessarily recover instantly.

Discreet
You tend to hold onto your thoughts until you have something important to say, and even then you’re not comfortable imposing your ideas on others unless you know they’re truly interested.

You don’t enjoy talking for the sake of talking, and you have no desire to be the center of attention.

Self-Contained
You like to stick to your own business and leave the power struggles to others; you know who you are and what you believe in, but you don’t see any reason to impose your values on everyone else.

You generally don’t get involved in organizing or motivating people, and you don’t feel the need to always be seen as a big public decision-maker.

Pessimistic
You tend to be a “glass half-empty” kind of person, which for you is simply a realistic outlook. Your feeling is that this world can be a depressing place, and only a fool would think otherwise.

You do not waste your time searching for the silver lining in every cloud, nor do you believe it’s your job to cheer up the people around you with happy talk.

Private
You don’t see the need to share what you’re thinking and feeling with everyone in the world, and you tend to present yourself in a somewhat formal way in order to keep your inmost thoughts to yourself. A high score on the “private” trait is a likely indicator that you are among those who can be happily occupied at home, away from the crowds, but, when the time comes, are equally enthusiastic about packing your bags and taking a trip.

You do not consider yourself a “free spirit,” whatever that may be, and you’re not comfortable expressing yourself without a bit of self-censorship.

Emotional
You let it all hang out, and those around you always know what you’re going through.

You are not isolated from your emotions; no one would call you “cold-blooded,” or even “cool as a cucumber.”

Loose
You feel that a clean, orderly desk is the sign of a person who doesn’t have enough to do. Schedules and “to do” lists feel stifling; you thrive on a sense that anything goes, and know that the world won’t end if you don’t clean up after finishing a job.

You don’t need to know that everything is in its place; it is not empowering to you to feel that the world around you is neat and organized. Mowing down every item on your “to do” list, every day, does not bring you joy.

You know you’re a librarian/information geek when you look at someone’s source code and you get excited over seeing Dublin Core tags in the metadata.

I’ve been visiting Konigi a great deal lately because I’ve been wireframing up a storm. I’m also very interested in finding out what content managment systems drive some of my favourite sites, so I always take a peek at the source code for clues.

If I hadn’t been at work when I saw this, I might have actually squealed with delight:

Look! it's DUBLIN CORE. *squee*

Summer in Vancouver is like summer nowhere else in the world. It almost makes living here worthwhile. (Taken during the City of Vancouver’s Summer Spaces celebration on Main St.)

The less said about what’s going on around here, the better.

This will only be relevant to anyone who grew up in Atlanta during the 70s, which, gauging by the readership of this blog, is pretty much just me.

Some people are treating the new Flickr video features as the coming of the apocalypse (as George tweeted, “Flickr Video is your new gripecycle”). I’m not convinced whether I’ll use the feature that often, but since Flickr is my main media storage/sharing outlet, I have to admit that it’s pretty nice having all my content in one place.

While sitting at the desk after Toddler Storytime the other day, watching some very … willful … children exercise their will, one of the librarians said “White people, please beat your kids” under her breath.  She, like me, is an immigrant, and had the experience of ass whuppin’s handed out freely and often as a means of correction.   This clip from Canadian Comedian Russell Peters is the source of that quote, and is well worth watching.
 

Now see.. don’t make me walk into VPL on my first day at work with my own theme song (definitely NSFW):

This clip from 30 Rock is almost as good as celebrating Horny Werewolf Day (via Jaschu) instead of Valentine’s Day:
