Discover your true self at PersonalDNA.com. It’s a personality test with a beautiful twist. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to go thru the very organic assessment process. You pull sliders and make intuitive judgements about various topics and opinions. In the end, you get a fairly detailed (and fairly accurate) DNA map. On the site, you can roll over the different colours to learn what they represent about your personality. Then you can challenge friends and family to a psych you/psych me comparison. You pretend you’re me, I’ll pretend I’m you, and we’ll see how the two compare. Hours of pop psychological fun.

Because I’m 90% confident and 42% open, here are my results. Just don’t go cloning my personality.

UPDATE: One year later and personalDNA is a facebook application of course.

I spotted this URL in a commercial. It being from Target, I thought I’d check it out here. And then, this new ABC sitcom, Sons & Daughters caught my eye. Hey, who watched the Oscars?

Electric Sheep is a free, open source screen saver run by thousands of people all over the world. It can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers “sleep”, the screen saver comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as “sheep”. The result is a collective “android dream”, an homage to Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a genetic algorithm with mutation and cross-over. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience.
