Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...
The Gadgeteer
36% Elegant, 52% Technological, 33% Historical, 24% Adventurous and 40% Playful!
You are the Gadgeteer, the embodiment of steampunk technology. Ironically, many of the things that most define your style are probably too large to easily carry about, but given the opportunity you would prefer to be seen surrounded by boiler engines, gear-driven calculators, and incredible automata. Of all the steampunk fashion styles, you place the greatest emphasis on technological accessories, and you are the most likely to create elaborate gadgets that are as much a part of your outfit as your clothes. You probably have goggles, but unlike most people you consider them to be for more than decoration. Whereas most people might look odd carrying a satchel of tools around, for you they may well be essential. Above all, you remind everyone that what sets the genre apart from Victoriana is simply the level of technology.
In other news, Journey has reached another milestone in their illustrius careers. The song "Don't Stop Beleiving" has just become the most downloaded song in the history of the Internet, reaching a grand total of 2 million in sales and counting! The ironic thing is that the song wasn't even a #1 hit for the band when it charted, although it certainly did chart high for the band at #8. And now, after being ITune's top seller for nearly a decade, it has essentially become a permanent #1 hit for the band. Congratulations to the guys on making rock history...again!
There's also a movement to get them into the Hall of Fame, and their "Escape" album has been chosen as #1 of the top 600 albums by Rock Report.
While the subject is on music, I wrote an official review to spread the word about Coldplay's free album. You can find it here.

Facebook has restructured recently, making a blatant greedy grab for all of their user's content. A new clause in their rules basically state that everything you post on Facebook essentially becomes their property for commercial use.
A 47 million year old primate fossil is being hailed as the long saught "missing link" in human evolution. Could this really be the final proof that humans evolved? Will it have as much of an impact on paleontology as people say it will? That much remains to be seen.
The same blog carries a blurb about a new book that someone wrote: "Idiot America: How Stupidity Became A Virtue In The Land Of A Free". This is deeply releiving for me, because for a while I was afraid that maybe I was the only one who noticed. I think maybe I'll try to track it down. It looks like an excellent and accurate discussion on the social state of America in today's world.
