Ego Boost Plus Links

first, the ego boost... over at jane's she mentioned an on-line IQ Score Interpretation Calculator. being the sucker i am for tests and their interpretations, i naturally bounced over there and plugged in my last measured score.

IQ: 135
Age: 37
Higher Than: 99%
Mental Age: Superior Adult
Category: Very Superior
Typical Capabilities: Capable of understanding highly complex academic material.
pffft! mental age as superior adult? you have got to be kidding. i am more likely to be acting like a 12 year old just with a slightly better vocabulary and financial position. well, that or a crotchety old man i suppose. i think i can be characterized as acting like just about every age that i'm not. perhaps it is an issue of denial. hmmm.


now the guy that did this is sharp. it definitely looks like a graphic, but is done entirely with css. adding in the filters makes it that much more amazing. ok, so it isn't practical, it is still cool in the geeky sense.

tired of the old lorem ipsum as text filler or simply turned off by latin? the folks over at toolbot have a little utility called ungreek which will use alternative texts to provide you with placeholder text that still conveys the shape and "color" of text without the distraction of actual content.

lastly, this is what happens when someone handy with photoshop gets spam and a vision of what it might have really meant. it seriously reminds me of that old t-shirt with sylvester the cat and foghorn leghorn squaring off. you know, the one where sylvester calls foghorn a chicken and the rooster's retort is to call the cat a pussy. ok, ok. really, it is much funnier on the t-shirt.
