I am Cyclops!

I can’t help it. I just *had* to answer it.

You scored as Cyclops. Cyclops is the team leader of the X-Men, and a skilled one at that. He loves Jean Grey very much. He’s a strict and sometimes uptight leader, but he believes in his cause and he knows what he’s fighting for… Peace between Mutants and Humans.

Not bad. I don’t love the guy, but I could imagine an alternate universe where I’d fit in his shoes. And I know who my Jean Grey is.

Soundless cellphone ringtone

In The Midnight Run, a friend of mine writes about an article he read that focused on an ultra high frequency ringtone that teenagers use in class, but is unheard by the teacher.

The developer of this “Mosquito Ringtone” apparently investigated a theory that as people grow older, the range of sounds discernible by the ear diminishes. I’m 26 and I can hear it. Maybe not from far away, but I can, without pumping the volume of the laptop speakers. Can you? Check it out here.

Switch story

In the desire to continue writing amid this writer’s block, I’ve turned to tech-writing. Mind you, it’s not gut-wrenching, nose-bleeding technical articles that I write, but fanfare for the technology enthusiast. The topic: Linux migration.

In a nutshell, I’ve migrated to Ubuntu 6.0.6 (Dapper Drake release). Goodbye, Windows.
