I’ll Stick With Meyers-Briggs, Thanks
More recently, a group of researchers at Penn State has shown that personality seems to be a significant player in our lust for heat or spice in our food. One study found that people who […]
Not Me
Web 1.0%
Tilde club? This is my tilde club. So much discussion in certain circles, not my circles, about the old pre-millennium web. Aren’t these nouveau old-school efforts just in-joke communities for those with large platforms? Tilde […]
