The Right Brain vs Left Brain Test
This image, originally created by Nobuyuki Kayahara, is a great scientific personality test.
If you see dancer rotating clockwise, you are right-brained (creative), counter-clockwise, left-brained (logical).
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS: uses logic, detail oriented, facts rule, words and language, present and past, math and science, can comprehend, knowing, acknowledges, order/pattern perception, knows object name, reality based, forms, strategies, practical, safe.
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS: uses feeling, “big picture” oriented, imagination rules, symbols and images, present and future, philosophy & religion, can “get it” (i.e. meaning), believes, appreciates, spatial perception, knows object function, fantasy based, presents possibilities, impetuous, risk taking.
UPDATE: I can see her spinning both ways, I guess it’s just a matter of visual perception or highly evolved brain. (LOL)

No more LOL!
Abolish the lie that is “lol”!
Over the past decade it has become increasingly obvious that countless web users are misrepresenting themselves by typing LOL (or “lolling” as it has come to be called) when they are NOT actually laughing out loud. This ruse has been at the expense of internet loyalists who add up the lols they receive in chat rooms and on message boards every day.
To better demonstrate the extent of this lie please refer to the graph below.
The National Acronym Monitoring Board of Linguistic Anomalies or NAMBLA has begun to crack down on “False Lolling” which is a class G felony punishable by permanent IP banning and in rare cases death by pwnage.To help LOL addicts curb their deceptive temptation NAMBLA has implemented a new acronym that is more accurate while at the same time poignant and conveniently recognizable.
LOI (Laughing On the Inside)
Loi is to be used when something is mildly entertaining, yet not humorous enough to evoke actual laughter. Actual laughter, however, may still be represented by “lol” or its other manifestations (LMAO, ROFL, etc).
Spread the word!
Test drive
What: New Audi A4
Where: Polus Mall, Cluj Napoca, RO
When: Yesterday
Event organized by Autoworld and Polus Center.
Things I enjoyed: design, quality look&feel, seating comfort, smooth automatic transmission.
The car handles great, especially in turns, and you can really feel the kick when you slam your foot on the acceleration. The test course was designed to really push the stability limits to the maximum – limits that can easily be broken by expert rally driver Bogdan Marisca, who was also on the track, giving enthusiasts the ride of their life.
I would like to thank Dan Paraschiv, sales manager for the Audi brand in Cluj. Thanks Dan, for your patience and guidance through the turns. When do we get to drive the R8?
