I am ENTP...so is Bugs Bunny

Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator: Survey Says...ENTP

So I took the MBTI survey and found out that my preferences (a large part of how I interact with the world) are ENTP. A group of 17 people from work and I spent a few hours this week learning about what it means to have preferences for Extraversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Perception (or whatever you may be). It was fascinating to guess what I was, find out what the survey said and extrapolate what all this means.

It is fun to look at other famous people who are ENTP. Other than Bugs Bunny, some of my favorite ENTPs are:

Thomas Edison

Winston Churchill

Wolfgang Mozart

Tom Hanks

Weird Al Yankovic

John Adams

Rutherford B. Hayes

Garfield

Wile E. Coyote

Don't ask me how they got Bugs to take that survey.

Harmonica Tales

Harmonica Tales, originally uploaded by ben.obrien.

One of my fondestest memories of a year in Cleveland is playing the
harmonica with falon Aaron and Adam while driving to kirtland. We were
going to a church mtg so we had white shirts...3 harmonicas blaring
with the windows down going 70 mph on the freeway. It happened to
catch the eye of a couple girls driving a land cruiser in the lane
next to us and we began a screaming conversation muffeled by the wind.
We successfully convinced them that we were a traveling harmonica band
from Washington state (where falons vehicle is registered) and invited
them to our show.

Aside from that, I can't count the number of smiles we've gotten from
other drivers as they enjoy the music stopped at a light with the
windows down.

It feels great to be back in Cleveland if only for a week at a work
training.

Why yes, that is a praying mantis on my door knob

So I have noticed that there are a lot of bugs near my door at
night...but tonight takes the cake.

STOP GIVING ME HIGH FIVES!!

"No high fives for at least a week."

-self prescribed treatment for dislocated shoulder.

So I was at the bouldering gym 3 days after dislocating my shoulder and this chica wanted to give me props for climbing with said injury by slapin hands. Despite the topic's freshness on both our minds, I cringed (on the inside of course) with the enthusiastic high five as I realized what I was doing seconds b4 impact.

This is the second time I've dislocated my shoulder...and it wasn't very bad. It popped right back into place after landing funny while tubing north of Charlotte.

For those that haven't seen it and would like a good laugh, here is the vid of my first should dislocation. I really can do a backflip...and I know I didn't set properly or tuck at all... the lights came on and freaked me out!

Some Pictures From the Last Triathlon

These are pictures from the Triathlon I did on 7/11/09. Just got 'em.

Jailbreak!

Jailbreak!, originally uploaded by ben.obrien.

After about a year with my iPhone I was starting to get board with it
so I thought I'd have to get the 3gs to get something new and
exciting. I decided instead to jailbreak it.

Now I have the freedom to put my own background on my phone, I can
have other ring tones, more access to system preferences, video
recording, + more! And on top of that I just added a notch of
geekness to my belt [pushes up glasses].
