take the quiz and find out<BR> <A HREF="http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G/gayometer/gayometer.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G/gayometer/gayometer.html[/url]

I am 46% gay!!!
-
Wow...43% for me. Is that it? ;-)
-
43% also.<P>"You've scored right in the middle and are a happy and well adjusted hetero man!"<P>..of course there was no doubt.<BR>
-
36% I am the least gay member of the board so far.
-
36% also.....pretty funny quiz.....
-
A cool even 50%.
-
~cough~ 66% ~cough~<P>don't tell my girlfriend. well... actually, it would probably turn her on.
-
33%
-
53% "You've scored right in the middle and are a happy and well adjusted hetero babe!"
-
20%
-
Did anybody get this?<P>"You're openminded between the sheets, but rarely show your gay side when out on the streets."
-
40% Gay (I thought I was more gay than that)<P>I've been trying to answer the questions how I think a gay guy would to see if I could get 100% gay - it's harder than you think - 93% is the best I could do. I wonder if it's just as hard to score a 0%?
-
I tried answering in a way that I thought a toally straight guy would, and stil got 10% gay.<P>On a funnier note, I forwarded this quiz to a friend who exchanged a couple of emails with another friend, basically to the effect that they were joshing about what heterosexual babes they were, and my friend intended to forward the exchange to me, but instead accidentally forwarded it to a lesbian work client with a similiar name to mine in her address book.
-
36% I thought I was much gayer... maybe if I answer I liked being the cowboy instead of the indian I can pull it more the middle...
-
40 percent: "You're a straight-laced girlie girl with just a hint of your butch side sometimes popping out". <P>Oh, that sounds so cute.

<BR>i landed a 46% answering honestly, but when i tried to be as hetero as possible i managed to get a 6%.<P>there were a few questions i wasn't too sure about... like whether or not they consider someone dating someone for money completely un-hetero.

Here's a rather appropriate Guardian article considering this recent vein of conversation.<P>"And far from being a marketing no-no, lesbianism sells.

okay, that princeton bling bling page is disturbing.<P>bling bling is the sound the cash register makes (old ones) when they opened.

not really...maybe I would have been in the 90s...I think his schtick is interesting, one could argue either way about its effectiveness in terms of communication...is he doing stuff, still? I'm not really in touch as well as I should be, not being in school anymore or in the company of design folk
-
<A HREF="http://www.davidcarsondesign.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.davidcarsondesign.com/[/url] <P>I guess he has a design firm in New York, I dont really think his work is suited all that well for the web. He is actually one of the few designers I know about, because I am more of a code person. But he was doing leetspeak before the Internet was popular. I have one of his books (The End of Print) that I occasionally look at for ideas.
-
I don't think his work is suited for the web, either...strictly speaking, I like to think I am from the Jakob Nielsen school of thought (when it comes to web design)...I think there is a HUGE difference in what works for the web vs. print ...but I am a frustrated academic when it comes to design, who never has enough time to execute things the way I'd like at work and then by the time the day is over I'm too wiped to give proper attention to my personal site...someone sent me this link a few months ago and while the presenation of the info is a little silly "web trends for designers" GAG, I got a kick out of how the trends were broken down, and thought the POS code and minimalist ones were kind of cool <A HREF="http://www.lab404.com/dan/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.lab404.com/dan/[/url]
-
Well, I am not a big fan of Jakob Neilsen, but he is a necessary evil, he just leaves no room for compromise. I am a big fan of Minimalist sites though. A friend of mine got his site on textbased's archive of minimalist sites after I showed him that site a couple of months ago. Thanks for the lab404 link, looks like a decent resource.
-
well...you just have to take as much of him as you want...just like the w3c standards...a couple months ago, I was reminded of these when I was thumbing though a friend's text book, and I thought, OK, cool, I will try and make the new design for my work site compliant...I quickly realized that all the features my boss loved and were not in compliance...and I changed my mind...I agree his philosophy is somewhat limiting, but I think its good for designers to keep in consideration as a balance to flowery creativity and bells & whistles...people generally come to the web to get info, sure there is something to be said for the "experience" a site may provide, but I think in many cases, designers go overboard and the ease with with users can get the info they need is diminished...<P>anyway...so, who's the gayest?

It's only until very recently that I actually started to truly appreciate the value of Flash design for the web, because for a good long while I couldn't stomach one more obnoxiously long animated intro. The web design market has been so flooded by nitwits that finding a site that truly blends good aesthetics with strong content is becoming increasingly hard to do. Carson's work, on the other hand, rarely sacrifices content for the sake of design to the degree I feel many web designers do. He was more about merging the two aspects as much as possible, using type and design together to express a message more than the two could independently. But unfortunately for most people, Carson is also gifted with an eye for design that can't be substituted with a copy of photoshop and a general disregard for the very same rules he never paid attention to either. He's a great example of how you don't need a formal education to do design well, but an even better example of how it still takes a good deal of talent to do it either way.<BR>

Lately my view of what is good web design definitely falls in the "less is more" category. I think the accessibility of the technology and Flash especially has really underminded the truly credible qualities the web brings to the table. The web design community owes it to itself to reinvent the way it does things a bit and maybe begin to earn a little bit more respect from the rest of the design community. I know far too many designers in more traditional fields that basically look down their nose at most web work. That should definitely be changed.<P>[This message has been edited by wingelbert humptyback (edited 02-06-2003).]<p>[This message has been edited by wingelbert humptyback (edited 02-06-2003).]

36%: "You're a straight-laced girlie girl with just a hint of your butch side sometimes popping out".
I'm having flashbacks of drag queen bingo when the queens accused me of being a lesbian for not having highlights in my hair.
...My hair now has 4 shades of highlights.

This begs the question - would you rather have sex with Mrs Smackie, or watch Mrs Smackie have sex with a beautiful lipstick lesbian?

As if this topic hasn't been broached before with the Mrs....
Like everything else I enjoy in my life, I take it all in moderation, so I guess a little bit of sex with Smackette and little bit of watching Smackette have sex with a beautiful lipstick lesbian is more than fine with me.
Which reminds me, Hustler Barely Legal Volume 18 has a girl in it who is a dead ringer for Smackette. If it weren't for the tattoos being different, I'd still be demanding she fess up. And yes, she's making out with a chick in that one too.

Uh, did you click on the whatever to get your results or did you stop after the meter loaded?
I got 36%. Less than I thought but then I'm kinda introverted :confused:
-
I scored a measley 18%, however, I still like Coldplay so I don't kow how accurate the test is. Plus I think taking a test like that is pretty "gay" in and of itself.
-
You know how I know you're all gay?
Because you macramed yourselves a pair of jean shorts.
You know how else I know you're all gay?
You like Coldplay.

At least I don't have a framed Asia poster in my home.

That's more than 4 years ago. You need to do one every 3 years. People change lifestyles, ya know.
