Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:<br/> <br/> Left Brain Right Brain<br/> 48% 52%<br/> <br/> You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the “whole” picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the “whole” picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.<br/>

Your complete evaluation follows below: Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half’s sub-categories. They are as follows:<br/> <br/> Your Left Brain Percentages<br/> 34% Symbolic (Your most dominant characteristic)<br/> 27% Reality-based<br/> 22% Sequential<br/> 21% Logical<br/> 16% Linear<br/> 7% Verbal (Your least dominant characteristic)<br/> <br/> Your Right Brain Percentages<br/> 38% Nonverbal (Your most dominant characteristic)<br/> 32% Fantasy-oriented<br/> 20% Intuitive<br/> 18% Holistic<br/> 10% Concrete<br/> 6% Random (Your least dominant characteristic)<br/> ¹

The street that my mother-in-law-to-be lives on is new, so I can understand and accept that Google Maps does not know about it yet. What frustrates me though is that there is an identically named street in a zip code that happens to be only about 20-30 minutes away from her house, said zip code differing from hers by exactly one digit. To add insult to injury, the difference is that between a ‘3′ and a ‘4′, making it all the more reasonable for Google to have assumed that this was a typographical error on my part.

Still, despite knowing exactly how reasonable Google is being, I am annoyed at the error. What makes it worse is that there’s no good way to report this new road to Google, or at least not one that is readily evident from their Maps website. If I were a business, I could report my location to them, but a new residential street.

Mr. Mike Jazayeri announced that you can now sign into AIM from Gmail’s chat interface.¹ This integration is cool, but I would love to see it go a step further. I would like to be able to add AIM buddies to my Google talk buddy list directly. That will truly be a newsworthy day.

Via Chris,¹ a very weird quiz asking you to determine, from photo alone, if a given person invented a computer language or is a serial killer. I got 7/10.
