Books on Personality Types and Myers-Briggs Type Indicators

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:03:59 -0600

The concept of personality type is about the natural habits of mind we develop as we grow. For example, some may have a preference for noticing concrete reality, others for noticing abstract concepts. Or one has a preference for the external world of people and action, another a leaning towards the inner world of ideas and contemplation. In every case, both will be true for us at different times, but we have an inclination towards one or the other when free to choose. These natural preferences fall into patterns, and an understanding of these patterns can help us to make sense of ourselves, our relationships, our life choices. One of the most widely used personality type systems describing these patterns is called Myers-Briggs, after the mother-daughter team that developed it. This system also has the most books available on the open market for those who want to explore it further. See below for a list of books I've found really useful...

Waterproof Camera Cases

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:13:50 -0600

Having a waterproof camera case that protects your camera from water damage is great, but if you dont live near a lake or ocean and don't have a backyard pool, you may not think about it much. However, there are many other things that can happen, and if you have an expensive camera, you don't want to encounter any of those bad things. It is always a good idea to make sure that you have waterproof camera cases for your hand held electronics, so that you know your investment is always protected, and your memories are protected right along with it. Probably the most important use of waterproof camera cases is getting caught in the rain with your expensive digital camera. You may stick it in your purse or in a bag, but you still can't be sure that it will be protected from water damage, especially if it happens to be a very hard rain. The water can always get into your bag, and unless you have waterproof camera cases, your camera could possibly sustain damage from the water, and that is something that might not be very easy to fix. If you have a lot of great pictures on your camera, you have lost them as well.
