A few photos

Well, it’s been a gorgeous afternoon and I decided to do something I’ve been intending to do for some time, I took my camera and paid a local attraction a visit, in this case Haden Hill park. This is a local park in Old Hill, which includes Haden Hill House parts of which date from the Tudor period and also a newer nature reserve which is home to Pipistrell bats and Tawny Owls among other species.

What kind of soul are you?

Heck it’s a Friday and I’ll take a day off from Philosophy.


You Are a Dreaming Soul


Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time

You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all…

But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficultYou are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.

Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.

Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.

Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Now this is amusing….

We’ve probably all seen the Get a Mac ads at the cinema or on TV, well Novell have put together a couple of spoof ads for Linux. I think the second one is better, check them out!

Personality Type


Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)

How Rare Is Your Personality?

What element are you?


Your Element Is Water


A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious.
That’s because you’re good at going with the flow – but you also are deep.Highly intuitive, you tune in to people’s emotions and moods easily.

You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.

You prefer a smooth, harmonious life – but you can navigate your way around waves.

You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

What’s Your Element?

A bit of humour.

A friend emailed me a joke entitled “Friends and Greek Friends”, well, I thought what about Geek friends? The result is “Friend, Greek friends and Geek friends” and can be found over on my Essays page here.

Let me know what you think!

Interesting side effect

I popped a new widget on here a few days ago that show you which music artists I’ve been playing recently.

I though that was a case of “job done”, until I noticed a side effect. A little voice in my head keeps looking at my music choices in light of how they’ll look in the widget.

I’m putting it down to the novelty factor of the feature, but it does show the side of the human psyche that is powerfully influenced by what others think. I mean, this is my space to do with as I please and most of the people who read this will remain anonymous, so why care?

Interesting, yes?
