Game of Thrones is finally back and Thank the Gods because some of us have been waiting since Season 1 ended without eating food, sleeping, or going to the bathroom. Ya. It’s been rough. But the wait is finally over as HBO’s outrageously phenomenal epic fantasy series Game of Thrones returns for Season 2 this coming Sunday April 1st at 10/9c on HBO so strap your boots on folks ’cause it’s gonna be a good one. Funny thing about outrageously phenomenal series’ is that they tend to know whatsup. When I say know whatsup, what else would I be talking about other than the Four Basic Personality Types. And while we’re on the subject of the Four Basic Personality Types, let’s take a look at the Four Major Houses of Westeros.
Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend
Diamonds are hardest natural material known to man.
She has got some diamonds in her collection, but it is the other diamond that she attained by strength of character that is most important to her country — and her dominions.
Yes, The Diamond Jubilee is a Commonwealth’s best friend. For her Rock-of-Gibraltar Temperament gave her Commonwealth the stability, the measured patience, and the peace to prosper.

Tacticians’ Skirmish
With the summer creeping up and nerd-tastic San Diego Comic-Con approaching rapidly I think it’s high time we talked about the most anticipated film of 2012: The Dark Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan screened a four hour rough cut of the film recently for Warner Bros. meaning that the film does actually exist and it’s not all a big hoax. The Dark Knight Rises itself will be dropping a week after San Diego’s most coveted nerd festival ends (July 20) so people are speculating that the man himself Christopher Nolan will be making a personal appearance. Gotham enthusiasts speculate that a fresh new trailer should hit soon so stay posted. What exactly is The Dark Knight Rises all about you ask? Well basically, two Artisans going at it. Or more specifically, two Tactical Operators. Let’s take a look shall we.

Concrete Comradery
Just when you thought I wasn’t going to talk about The Avengers anymore. BAM. Dyads. Although these four basic personality types certainly have their conflicts, they also once in a while get along with one another. One such a heartwarming comradeship exists between fellow Marvel–supersquad members the Incredible Hulk and Captain America. Both superheroes are defined by their extraordinary physicality, but perhaps there is more behind these two than meets the eye. Let’s take a look.
Abstract Conflict
I know. The Avengers. And the Four Basic Personality types. We get it guys. Well you see the funny thing about these four basic personality types is that they interact with one another in a complex fashion. One of such a rivalry of course is that between Asgardian Princes Thor Odinson and Loki Laufeyson. This bitter and delightful conflict between brothers may indeed be fictional, but serves however to highlight the important characteristics of the age-old conflict between Rational and Idealist. Let’s go right on ahead then and take a look at this epic clash of abstract minds.
That Deep Bond of Rivals
They appeared quite different one black, one white; one a quiet small town guy and the other an urbanite with a big smile.
But, they had a common obsession.
And a common Temperament: Artisan.
They were competitive. Very competitive — actually they both wanted to be the best, period.
Pi Day and oh, That Icon
Nerds, mathematicians, lovers of all things circular today celebrate Pi Day, the day that honors π, one of the world’s most mysterious inspiring infinite mathematical constants. Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m., the date and time which corresponds to the first eight digits of π, or 3.1415926. π . It, March 14th is, also, the birth day of a German physicist. Those nerds like to think that they might figure out some of those mysteries, like that guy who’s birthday is March 14th, 1879.
By the way, if you don’t remember π can be approximated, but never represented by anything finite, by:
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105559644622948954930381964428810975665933446128475648233786783165271201909145648566923460348610454326648213393607260249141273724587006606315588174881520920962829254091715364367892590360011330530548820466521384146951941511609…
For it’s a transcendental number.
The Disney Dyad
Walt always got in hot water with his dealings with business partners. He wasn’t really a businessman. In fact, he had left Kansas City, Missouri, with his first business, Laugh-O-Gram, bankrupt. Walt had headed for California, to start again.
Many individuals and companies came to Hollywood, California in the 1920’s because of cheap land and open opportunities.
