    Here’s a quiz for today.

    The Butterfly
    BUTTERFLY – Your daemon may be a butterfly. It is
    ironic that the butterfly traditionally
    represents the psyche, yet it is one of the
    least emotive physical forms that your daemon
    can take. It is very hard to tell what a
    butterfly is feeling, and perhaps that is why
    you feel so comfortable with this form. You
    have many, many friends and a beautiful soul,
    but you don’t like to reveal what your
    innermost feelings are. You aren’t afraid to be
    yourself – you are vibrant and colourful. But
    at the same time, you don’t like to wear your
    heart on your sleeve.

  • Dr. Who Christmas Special

    Not being able to sleep at 5am this morning, I decided to check out the Dr. Who Christmas Special. Overall I give it a thumbs up. The story felt like a kind of typical regeneration story, with David Tennant making his first real appearance as the Doctor. I think he’s going to make a pretty good Doctor overall. I won’t discuss any of the content so as not to spoiler people, but I do recommend downloading it if you can (along with the children in need special, which you should watch first if you could).

  • My Birthday

    Who knew my birthdate had no much meaning? I didn’t.


    Your Birthdate: November 2


    You’re so intuitive, it’s like you have a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense.
    You connect with others freely and easily – and you tend to have many best friends.
    Warm and caring, it’s hard for you to close your heart to anyone.
    Affection is like air for you – you need to give and receive it to survive.

    Your strength: Your universal compassion

    Your weakness: Your unpredictable mood swings

    Your power color: Mauve

    Your power symbol: Butterfly

    Your power month: February

  • The Gizmo Project

    Gizmo Project A Free phone for Your Computer

    I’d heard of Gizmo a while back, but hadn’t had a chance to check it out until today. I’ve got to say, it’s pretty slick. I think it may just replace Skype for me.

    For those of you who aren’t up on the latest in internet telephone services, Gizmo and Skype are internet telephone services. You can call other users on their services for free, and for a small fee make outgoing calls, and accept incoming calls if you rent a phone number from them. They also have basic IM services built in.

    So why do I like Gizmo? It uses open standards and I’m a geek for that kind of stuff. The interface also seems quite nice and it runs on everything (Skype does too). It also offers some features for free that cost money on Skype (like voicemail). So if you are doing the internet telephone thing I highly recommend giving it a try. You can give me a call at gregoryblake.

  • Growing For The Holidays

    I’m just starting to really get into the Christmas mood. And I just saw a link to a new GROW puzzle, this one with a Christmas Tree. It was pretty easy though. Enjoy!

  • As the Holiday comes

    My son set this blog up for me earlier this year. I felt that I should actually add something before the year ends.
    What will this blog cover? Just about anything that happens to be of interest to me and my family.
    My interests cover food, wine, books, art, and all those good things associated with the appreciation of life.
    2005 has been an eventful year by any measure. In April, our son received a long awaited lung transplant, and after an unsettled start, is doing quite well. In August, our daughter safely evacuated her New Orleans apartment, only to return to utter devastation. For only having two children, they have managed to keep us at attention!

  • Happy Ears

    I’ve always been a big fan of earmuffs. Hats tend to bug the crap out of me for some reason. So these would be great to have.

    Earmuffs/Headphones, Great Idea!

    Thanks, JVC. These headphone/ear warmers arrived just time for us here on the icy east coast. Stoked with Polartec Wind Pro and Thermolite Active 100 materials to keep you warm, these babies promise good tunes and toasty earlobes. Well, warm earlobes anyhow. The cool cats in NYC are opting for ginormous earphones with earcups that double as muffs. Trouble is, you gotta wear those things around your neck like some wandering nightclub DJ for the rest of the day. These things look like they fold up nicely—although they aren’t exactly babe magnets.
