Further to my previous post, it seems Paris is the big city for me. There was no question about speedy Mac repairs though...

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and expressive, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

h/t Bag

I am more than slightly surprised to score the same as Bag (to whom a tip of the virtual hat). Although he has discarded his beard and sandals for a metaphorical white collar now, he is much more the real techie than me - a mere wannabe. I fear he may have a better approximation to a life. Although, thinking about it, I can't remember when I last logged on to Second Life without noticing he was there...

As for our diabolical friend, I really don't know what to say. If you are "ueber cool", dear boy, you are emphatically NOT a nerd. You may perhaps be in the wrong line of business. Maybe that's why you say you are better at blogging than earning a living?
 

John Sheridan

An experienced survivor who has maneuvered around many obstacles, you are looked up to by those who rely on your good judgment.

In the last few years, we've stumbled. We stumbled at the death of the president, the war, and on and on. When you stumble a lot you tend to look at your feet. Now we have to make people lift their eyes back to the horizon and see the line of ancestors behind us saying, "Make my life have meaning," and to our inheritors before us saying, "create the world we will live in."

John is a character in the Babylon 5 universe. You can read his biography at the Worlds of JMS fansite.

How disappointing to  be a character I have never heard of in a show I have never seen.

h/t Norfolk Blogger (than whom I can think of no-one who less resembles James T. Kirk)

If I can't be a great book, I am glad at least to be a funny one. I admired Douglas Adams, who was a Mac user with a child's curiosity, a very adult sensibility and a relentless inability to take pretension seriously. Would that I could muster more than two of those four.

You're The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are quite an entertainer. You've also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible, often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble, but it's shown you so much of the world that you don't care. Wacky adventures continue to lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42.

h/t Alice, whose belief in talking rabbits may well explain her views on Margaret Thatcher.
