From a friend at LJ: If you see this, post a quicky Middleman exclamation in your blog or livejournal. This is about all the meme I have the mental capacity for so I offer:
Guns of Navaronne!
(The service down here has gone to pot.)
Also, because there can never be too much MiddleMannish goodness:
Your result for The which philosophy suits your personality? Test…
40% Nature, 54% Rationalism, 30% Religion, 52% Freedom, 86% Individuality, 42% Power and 52% Uncertainty!
You scored highest on the variable Individuality. Individuality was an important part of Kierkegaard’s philosophy.
Søren Kierkegaard, 1813- 1855, Denmark.
Kierkegaard thought true religion should be found within yourself and not in uniformity. He did not oppose Christianity, but he opposed the Christian Church. The Church preached faith for the masses by rituals and generalization, which makes one lose its identity and leads to despair. True peace can only be found within yourself. As more and more people claim to have a personal belief/religion instead of conforming to a church, I think Kierkegaard was ahead of his time.
Possible results:
Nature: the Scala Naturae by Aristotle
Rationality: Cogito Ergo Sum by Descartes
Religion: Proof God Exists by Saint Augustine
Freedom: Existentialism by Sartre
Individuality: Personal Religion by Kierkegaard
Power: Will to Power by Nietzsche
Uncertainty: Agnosticism by Hume
No high variable: Synthetic Perception by Kant

So, I’ve been playing with this very cool mobile router for about a week, and I’m totally in love with it. It’s smaller than the regular router wired into our Uverse connection, and in most of the house the signal is actually stronger, which is pretty impressive when you consider that the signal is coming from a two-year-old wifi card. Thankfully, I’ve got an unlimited data plan on the card (it must cost a fortune to use cellular routers without such a plan), so I can use it forever without killing my cell phone bill, but I do have to be careful because the card tends to run hot. It ran hot in my laptop, as well, so I suspect it’s just the nature of cell cards.
While I have to admit that I’m not entirely new to the concept of cellular routers, I am seriously impressed by how easy this was to set up (plug in card, plug in power, load software that I didn’t even need to muck with because it came pre-configured), and how compact it is.
Also, Kevin at PowerfulSignal.com is the nicest guy ever, and really patient when it comes to answering questions, especially from people like me who know just enough to be dangerous.
When Fuzzy gets home from Hong Kong, he’ll be playing with it as well, and we’ll eventually be posting a full review here in my blog.
Stay tuned.
P.S. Not a flickr fan? You can also check this video out on YouTube:
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion’s hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden’s steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion’s mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one’s personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

The EasyWriter from Writer’s Blog tagged me with a meme, the purpose of which is to list seven things about myself and then tag a few others to participate. Since EW is always supportive, how can I say no?
I am now required to tag people. Most of my friends are anti-tag, but there are a few people who might be willing to play along, so , I tag:
Janet
Rana
Becca
CajunVegan
And anyone else who cares to participate.
