Thought Buddies
While going through people with similar books on librarything and the profile details on blogger, a thought crossed my mind. Is it possible that two very unrelated people (genetically) would have exactly same 'set' of interests ?
I do know people with similar interests. These pairs are plenty. But what I mean here is two people having exact same set of books, with no single book held by a single person in the pair that is missing with other. Two people having exact same interests/hobbies, with none of them having a unique interest/hobby missing in another.
Well, there are such possibilities if you have limited interests and limited books, but it becomes very difficult if you have large number of interests & hobbies and a large collection of books.
So here is my list of interests.. is my thought buddy somewhere out there ?
[Note : to qualify as a thought buddy, you should have already written exactly similar article on your blog :-) or at least thought about it]
My Profile:
Very good skills/interests : Drawing, Sketching, Portraits, Pastels, Web Designing, Web Programming (AJAX like techs), Brain-storming, thinking creative ideas, Smart Ariel Mapping*, Scene Recall** .
Good Skills/Interests : Figure Drawing, Programming, Blog/Article Writing, Psychology, Book collecting (esp Art Books), Smart Browsing***. . Photography
Deep interests, but havn't yet developed good skills : Painting (Oil & Watercolor), 3D Modelling / Texturing / Rendering, 3D Scripting, Shader Scripting,
Extremely bad at : Music / Understanding Music, Understanding /Comprehending Lyrics of music.
These are my definitions of the skill names that I just invented :-)
Smart Mapping* : I would define 'Smart Mapping' as ability to quickly find a location from Ariel satellite maps (google maps) without reading road/place names. [For example, if you are landing/taking-off in an airplane, you are able to recognize your house/area/road very quickly in the brief moment that the plane passes over it]
Scene Recall** : Being able to view a half a second clip from movie *without* seeing the actor/actress faces (ie only seeing objects such as a cycle, a car) and being able to recall the movie name. This quality also creates lot of Deja-Vu moments in normal life. I frequently experience moments that I feel I have already experience. There is nothing paranormal about it, it is just that I am able to recognize a certain 'bite' of a moment and I recall a similar moment that happened earlier that had exact same 'bite'.
Smart Browsing*** : An ability to quickly find information on web, which cannot be easily found by google - OR - Being able to specify good set of keywords to search on google (or other search engine) - OR - Knowing information portal sites to quickly find info (like wikipedia, wikimapia) etc. Note: I would extend this to ability to quickly find an item in supermarket, without prior knowledge of where it is normally stored. Also, being able to quickly find a book in a huge library, without actually going through normal library systems/indexes etc.
....
To take the concept further, it might be a good idea to take this set of skills/interests and be able to create a unique code for it, and then post these codes somewhere on internet, where somebody is looking for exactly same set of skills.
For example, is there somebody looking for a good programmer, with excellent web designing & programming skills, who is also good at drawing and portraits and has lot of creative ideas ? If so, you could contact me :-)

Although not quite exactly the same as I want, I have found a similar way of classification that already exists :
