My friend Rob has been talking about The Geek Test on his message board. Well, I’m almost (not really) ashamed to _ admit that I got a 33.33% on it. I mean, really, could I admit the superscript _ if I got “total geek”?

If you want to be weirded out, and you run Mac OS X, and you have installed the developer tools, run “/Developer/Applications/Quartz Debug” and check a few boxes. It’s *real* weird if your background rotates every five seconds.
The program flashes colors on top of the areas of the screen that Quartz is currently drawing.
Yesterday I heard about PithHelmet, but I didn’t know what it is. Turns out, I discovered it today (again) when trying to figure out how one would go about setting Safari up to “keep state” a la Opera when you quit.
PithHelmet is an ad-blocker for Safari (the web browser) that sits on top of SIMBL, an application “enhancer.” I also got the other known project, iCar, which stands for “iChat auto-reply” so that people will get my away messages when I’m away.
