“They’re baaaaaack…” Because nothing says “Christian” like hanging out with Tom DeLay. :(

I took a short online personality test, and I realize since I started working my current job I’ve changed from an INFP to an INTJ. Seems appropriate, given the recommended jobs, but it also seems odd that a few years of web development would change your opinions about interacting with others and the world around you.

I have been using Singapore for my photos, but I like the bandwidth deal on Flickr, so I’ve switched my photos over there. Perhaps the ease of uploading will encourage me to get the rest of my pictures up as well. :) Anyway, no knocks on Singapore. they have a very good program, and I encourage anyone who wants to host their own pictures to take a look at it.
