I guess that makes me a “Mad Scientist”
ENTP: The Mad Scientist
The ENTP, like the ENTJ, is charismatic, outgoing, and intelligent. ENTPs are often quickwitted, clever, and genial; they typically display a highly organized, rational cognitive ability which makes them natural scientists and inventors.
ENTPs are creative, complex people who seek to improve their understanding of the natural world, usually by building armored fifty-story-tall robotic monsters with iron jaws and death-ray eyes, or by creating genetically mutated plagues that spread unstoppably across the land, turning all who are contaminated into mindless zombie drones. They are less likely to want to conquer the world than to destroy it utterly, reducing it to nothing but slag and rubble–though this is often merely a side-effect of their pursuit of knowledge.
RECREATION: ENTPs enjoy recreational activities which challenge them physically and intellectually, such as water skiing and porting Linux to their iPods. They are also fond of collecting gadgets like combination cellpone/PDAs and orbiting arsenals of brain lasers, which they may port Linux to as well.
COMPATIBILITY: ENTPs and ENTJs make natural companions, as the one’s unspeakable hunger for power complements the other’s unspeakable hunger for knowledge. They do not generally build successful relationships with ESFJs, as ENTPs they are prone to behaving in inconveniently erratic ways, which pisses ESFJs off to no end; and because ENTPs simply do not know how to dress appropriately for formal occasions.
Famous ENTPs include Spencer Silver (the inventor of Post-It Notes), Robert Oppenheimer, and Dr. Jeckyll.
Try it out for yourself.

New Ferrari F430 Scuderia
Autoblog has images and info about the new Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Th car is more of a track version of the F430 since it is 220lbs lighter and has 40 or so more horsepower. More F1 technology will be in the hands of rich Ferrari owners:
The new F430 Scuderia also promises to carry a lot of trickle-down F1 technology as well, including lightning-quick 60 millisecond shifts and an integrated traction and stability control system.
Skater Falls Through Skylight
Another dumb trick to do when skateboarding. Although this is not necessarily skateboard related.
Transformers Episode 1
The original afternoon cartoon which was basically a half hour long commercial for the toys. Ahh, this brings me back to the days of Jams shorts, Commodore Vic 20s and all that other cool stuff.
Jet Powered Snail
Interesting CGI that blends a nature with technology. Who says snails are slow…
Flight of the Conchords
The New Zealand Folk duo have a new show on HBO. Its goofy and silly and quirky. Each show features two videos embedded into the stories. The songs are catchy especially the ‘Boom King’ song featured here.
