It’s time for another good idea, bad idea

In YouTube, that is.

Good idea
Using new media to show the quandaries of senior citizens, as has been done with The Zimmers (more info here).

Bad idea
Using new media to show that any idiot can become famous.  And no, I’m not talking about Paris Hilton, but about
some guys that can’t even speak their native language, never mind play instruments.

The End.

Interesting personality test

I found this test at the blog of a Mexican in Japan, and I thought it was funny enough to try.  Didn't tell me anything I didn't know already.

 

*** THE EVERYTHING TEST ***

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests,  purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.
Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down – all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy 🙂

PERSONALITY
You are more logical than emotional, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more loner than dependent, more workaholic than lazy, more rebel than traditional, more engineering mind than artistic mind, more idealist than cynical, more leader than follower, and more extroverted than introverted.
As for specific personality traits, you are adventurous (100%), outgoing (100%), romantic (86%), intellectual (67%).

STEREOTYPES
Emo Kid (89%)
Punk Rock (87%)
Geek (71%)

LIFE EXPERIENCE

Travel (47%)

POLITICS
Your political views would best be described as Liberal, whom you agree with around 64% of the time.

SOCIOECONOMIC
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Class.

If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13.
By the way, your hottness rank is 67%, hotter than 73% of other test takers.

Ponchito

Hoy estaba divagando un poco y me topé con la ya bastante antigua página de los personajes de Andrés Bustamante, cómico mexicano, en Ponchito.com.

Dueño de un humor fino y no tan vulgar y gastado como el de otros cómicos como Eugenio Derbez, es sin lugar a dudas mi favorito.  Lástima que no he visto sus programas en mucho tiempo, aunque algunos de sus sketches con personajes como el Dr. Chun Ga, el Hooligan o el profesor Greco Morfema están disponibles en YouTube.

Mi vida en rolas

Me encontré este meme en el blog de la Kerubin@, y me dió tanta risa que decidí seguirle el juego.

Aunque al principio intenté contestarlo con rolas de los Foo Fighters, terminé utilizando a Nortec Collective, aunque no es una banda en el sentido estricto de la palabra, y tuve que incluir algunos mixes de ellos en lugar de sólo canciones originales.

My iPod is semi-sentient

Today I was a little bit blue.  The sky was overcast, with this annoying drizzle that isn't even proper rain but still messes up my hair and my glasses, and it was just the proper mood for being a little pensative.

Even though I have my iPod in shuffle (all 3000+ songs), it played almost exclusively during the whole day songs according to the mood: "My way", "Sunday, Bloody Sunday", "Polly", "Ayer me dijo un ave", "Denial, revisited", "Pennyroyal tea", "The wind cries Mary", "Black hole sun", "Bibo no aozora", "Long Cool Woman", "Ánimas que no amanezca", etc.

Given that when I'm happy, the same shuffle tends to play more rythmic songs, I'm starting to wonder if my iPod is semi-sentient or at least rather telepathic…
