Nerd Test

Katie sent me a link to nerdtest.com. I only got a 30%, but I IM'd it to all my programmers at work and they are fighting over who got a higher score. Most of them are in the 90-97% range. :)

I did find this picture on that site that I thought was pretty cool:

Wasatch Colors

I was reminded tonight of how much I love the wasatch range. I was driving home and it was the time of day when the sun is just starting to go down, and all the colors are super vivid. The sky was blue, and the mountains were covered in snow and were lit up in pastel pinks and purples. It's an amazing site, and always lifts my spirits to see that all around me. I need to remember to start carrying a camera to capture images like that when I see them. I love that we live somewhere that I can see that regularly. On my mission is Fresno, I remember how depressing it was to just be surrounded by ugly apartment complexes, empty lots, concrete, and the general grunginess of a city. Kind of makes you go crazy to be stuck in a place like that. I always wondered why people stayed there. Why don't they just pack up and get out? Don't they realize how many more great places there are to live?

Katie and I have been thinking alot about where we would want to live if we move. It's funny how some places just seem to fit. There are places where you feel at home, and it's interesting how that's different for everyone. Some people love the Avenues, or Cottonwood Heights, or even St. George. For Katie and me, the Highland/Alpine area just feels right. I just wish our family was closer, and maybe the ocean; then it would be perfect.
