  • Happy New Year

    Happy New Years to all my friends. 2005 has been quite a rollercoaster and I survived it relatively intact (well, as intact as one can be when gaining a new lung). I’m also glad it is over because I’m ready to start fresh again now.

    2005 was all about healing. 2006 will hopefully be about rebuilding. I’m actively pursuing a new job. If I get it, it will mean moving back up to Boston and living on my own. It will really be almost starting out from square one again. It’s all kind of scary and exciting.

    I don’t do resolutions because I never seem to actually get around to them. So instead I’m just saying I’ll just keep working to grow stronger and stay healthy.

    In the year 2006 I resolve to:

    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.
