Super Important

Anniversary time!
TAPKAE.com: 10 years on the interwebs!

2012 is here! It was just around the end of 2001 when the first live versions of TAPKAE.com were put up. I don't really have screenshots, but at first it was just a promo for the CD Receiving. Now instead of pitching the sale to all who enter my lair, I am able to offer the SoundCloud approach—all downloadable with liner notes and all, and the ability to comment on the audio itself. Nifty!

In the winter-spring of 2002, TAPKAE.com finally did appear in a pretty elaborate first incarnation, something that is rather embarrassing to think of now. But there you have it. Ten years of TAPKAE.com. It's moved from a pretty self indulgent promo for my recording to a pretty self indulgent record of my life and thoughts in a way I never ever anticipated. Consider it the full length version of my epitaph, suitable for those who are detail freaks.

Raison d'etre

I have found that the very feeling which has seemed to me most private, most personal, and hence most incomprehensible by others, has turned out to be an expression for which there is a resonance in many other people. It has led me to believe that what is most personal and unique in each one of us is probably the very element which would, if it were shared or expressed, speak most deeply to others.

We may misunderstand, but we do not misexperience.

« IQ Test »

DateSaturday, October 2, 2004 at 4:57PM in , , , ,

I just took an IQ test online at IQ Test dot com and got 137. Apparently 135-144 is the range for "highly gifted professionals," which is the category just above "gifted university graduates."

I don't know what is being taught out there but damn, that's not bad of me considering I'm only 2/3 of the way through junior college after 13 years (with 10 years off in the middle). The really funny thing was that on a similar test on Tickle.com, my score was 136, which was assessed as such:

Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others—and at anticipating and predicting patterns.

Wow. No one ever likened me to Plato. I guess that's a good thing.

The thing I don't get is is this business of having math skills. Shit, I bombed math pretty consistently all through school.
