2011 Feb 24 11:14 (#4217.12817):I'm surprised my typo hasn't precipitated snarky comments. I guess a preemptive solution would be for Flip to correct my mistake. In the future I will concentrate more when typing and not rely on spell check.
Special thanks to Jessica for noticing the error, and suggesting I suspend all thoughts of chemistry for a while and dilute my time with other activities.

No idea what that one with the VCR tapes was about. And I guess I'm missing that some of the references were references.
2010 Sep 28 10:58 (#4214.12805):Should we start posting what we got, or wait a bit so everyone can contribute?
2010 Sep 17 12:58 (#4213.12804):Don't get me started on child-proof lids, though.
2010 Sep 17 12:58 (#4213.12803):I don't know,Ziggy. I would have hoped that this would have turned out better:
I have some questions that really don't belong here... <cut>... Am I being unreasonable by expecting to own the same model for at least 5 years?
2010 Sep 16 10:47 (#4213.12798):Hmmm.... a clarification: the way that I used "candy" was literal. As in I can't help myself from purchasing candy and that is why there is a large box of Nerds (TM) on my desk, and not in whatever way you are using "candy", Jon.
2010 Sep 15 06:16 (#4213.12794):I have some questions that really don't belong here, but I can't figure out a better place to put them because they are phone related. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not really a technophobe/ Luddite. I'm just kind of stingy and lazy and weird ("weird" is the shortest explanation I can come up with for my whole anti-facebook and twitter stance). I don't buy things until I need them unless it is candy. I drove my neon for 12 years, which is insane if you know the maintenance issues of the average neon. I intend to keep a cell phone until it is unusable. I love my current cell phone because I can drop it, but it still works. However, it is a dumb phone (opposite of smart phone?) and I've had it for about 5 or 6 years now. I like it a lot, but I'm starting to notice things that may be precursors to a catastrophic failure.
My questions: of the smart phones that are available now, which ones do you think will hold up the best after 5 or 6 years? (In terms of both the reliability, but also the technology not being too antiquated compared with the features that probably will come in subsequent models.) And secondly, when do you think would be the best time to buy a new phone? It seems like right now there are still huge differences in the features between the current and the previous models of the same phone. I don't want to buy a phone and then have a *much* better phone come out 3 months later. I'd prefer to wait until the main difference between the models is that the new one is slightly smaller and comes in different colors. If somehow I could put off buying a new phone for another two years so that the rate of advancement slows down, would I be gaining that much?
And finally, how long to you expect to keep your current cell phone? Am I being unreasonable by expecting to own the same model for at least 5 years?
2010 Jul 09 05:58 (#3905.12785):Because I'm lonely at work, I took this test again. About 2 years later, I still get INTJ, just more so (33/50/50/22).
2010 Jul 05 04:23 (#4211.12781):All my tweets have been avoiding twitter.
