Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Humorous: Uses self-aware jokes and sarcasm, like “Btw...this 140 character limit in Twitter cramps my style. I'm not sure this Twitter thing will ever take off” and “penguins are so sensitive”.
- Tech-savvy: Engages with software and platforms, mentioning Office 365 in “Video: What is Office 365?”, Windows 7 in “is now running Windows 7. My life, however, remains the same.”, and Snow Leopard in “snow leopard on my mac. We'll see.”.
- Sports-enthusiastic: Follows and comments on multiple sports, like baseball in “Last day of the season...go Tigers! Detroit could use a break. But my money is on the Twins.”, tennis in “watching the US Open...Serena will win it all.”, and golf in “Doesn't think t will be Tiger's day.”.
- Music-loving: Frequently references music icons and concerts, like “is goint to see Sir Paul tonight and I hope he doesn't sing C Moon.”, “I f Prince don't make you dance nothin' will.”, and “is streaming U2 live”.
- Family-oriented: Talks about kids and school often, such as “Kids school start tomorrow. Must leave house by 7.30 for opening chapel.”, “meet the teacher day at the kiddos school”, and “Is Mr. Mom for a few days. I can hear my kids' teachers laughing already.”.
Weaknesses:
- Cynical: Often expresses skepticism or annoyance, like “I can't take any more IBM ads. Just build the smarter planet already and shut up!” and “isn't feeling it today. Maybe I should read some Norman Vincent Peale”.
- Procrastination: Admits to delaying tasks, for example “working on my ppt for DevConnections. It's due today and I only realized it was due today...today.” and “how to procrastinate yet feel productive? Organize your ToDo list(s)”.
- Critical: Quick to criticize media and ads, as in “anyone else think the IBM, 'Build a Smarter Planet' ads are dumb? I am not an IBMer...” and “Espn's tennis coverage is a lot of talking and a little bit of tennis. Shutup Pam Shriver!”.
- Risk-prone: References unsafe behavior, notably “Is texting while driving”, followed by “okay everyone...I get it...no texting while driving.”.
- Dismissive: Can be bluntly dismissive of others’ efforts or interests, like “doesn't matter what you do...someone is gonna bitch about it.” and “I'm not down with Disney buying Marvel.”.
Your Simpsons character
Homer Simpson
This account reads like a tech-savvy, sports-obsessed, self-deprecating Homer Simpson. He loves creature comforts and mild laziness, joking about productivity and procrastination in tweets like “how to procrastinate yet feel productive? Organize your ToDo list(s)” and “There's always something more to do. I've decided to ignore all of it except the stuff I want to do.”. Like Homer ranting at TV, he casually complains about ads and media, e.g. “I can't take any more IBM ads. Just build the smarter planet already and shut up!” and “Espn's tennis coverage is a lot of talking and a little bit of tennis. Shutup Pam Shriver!”. He mixes enthusiasm for sports and pop culture with grumpy humor, cheering and predicting games in tweets like “Last day of the season...go Tigers! Detroit could use a break.” and “watching the US Open...Serena will win it all. The other women should give it up.”. At the same time, he’s devoted to family life in a wry Homer-like way, joking about parenting and school with lines such as “It was a good decision not home school. Also, it was good that I never, not once, considered teaching as a profession.” and “Is Mr. Mom for a few days. I can hear my kids' teachers laughing already.”.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTP
The tweets suggest an Extraverted (E) style: they enjoy broadcasting opinions, live-commenting sports and events, and joking with an imagined audience, e.g. the playful self-promotion in “don't hate me just because I make it look easy” and the public snark in “Shutup Pam Shriver!”. Their focus on witty observations, patterns, and possibilities (rather than just concrete reporting) points to Intuition (N), such as turning IBM ads into a broader critique in “Just build the smarter planet already and shut up!” and musing humorously about Twitter itself in “I'm not sure this Twitter thing will ever take off”. The tone is clearly Thinking (T): they are blunt, critical, and use dry humor over warmth or tact, as seen in “doesn't matter what you do...someone is gonna bitch about it.” and the jab at Disney/Marvel in “I'm not down with Disney buying Marvel.”. Finally, they appear more Perceiving (P) than structured J: they procrastinate and improvise (“It's due today and I only realized it was due today...today.”), change moods and interests on the fly (“is listening to country music. I blame it on the rain.”), and frame plans loosely (e.g., spontaneous coding with wine in “is sitting down with some wine and is going to code a little.”). The mix of social energy, sarcastic commentary, idea-focused humor, and relaxed approach to structure best fits ENTP.
Some pickup lines for you
- You said dual monitor mode in Dreamweaver was life changing — want to test triple-monitor mode: you, me, and Office 365, streaming U2 in the background while we mock IBM’s ‘smarter planet’ ads together?
- You’re the guy who watched so much US Open you got sick of IBM commercials and still had energy to yell ‘c’mon Federer!’ — how about we split a bottle of Pinot Noir and you explain to me, in painful detail, why Serena was always going to win it all?
- Anyone who can ride HH100, complain about car drivers hating cyclists, and still call himself a ‘complete and total bad ass’ is exactly my type — let’s go for a night ride, set a new paddle-ball record, and then grill tenderloin like it’s 2009-04-26 again.
- You once said Twitter’s 140 characters cramped your style and that you weren’t sure it would ever take off — how about we prove you wrong in long form over tacos al pastor and a debate about Disney buying Marvel?
- From streaming U2 and Sir Paul in Austin to staying up late in SPI and reading Beatles breakup stories while blaming (and then partially absolving) Yoko, you clearly know your music history — can I be the Lennon to your McCartney, minus the part where your ears bleed?
Your 5 Emojis
Your new Twitter bio
Developer, cyclist & tennis nut in Dallas. Once doubted Twitter would ever take off. Office-in-the-clouds fan, sunsets and tacos enthusiast.– @TyrantTy
Your signature cocktail
The Bad-Ass Cloud Rider
Bold aged bourbon stands in for the self-proclaimed swagger of a “complete and total bad ass” in the bio and the confident ribbing in tweets like “don't hate me just because I make it look easy”. Ruby red grapefruit juice adds a bright but slightly bitter edge, echoing sports rants and sharp opinions like “Shutup Pam Shriver!” and “anyone else think the IBM, 'Build a Smarter Planet' ads are dumb?”. Spiced honey syrup represents the warmer side that loves sunsets, lakes, and grilling, as in “Tenderloin on the grill. Gonna enjoy the nice weather and eat outside” and “2 things I love about October Baseball playoffs and sunsets”. A dry sherry float nods to the tech-and-tennis depth beneath the jokes—streaming U2, reading about The Beatles, running Windows 7 and Office in the cloud as in “Wants to hear about this Office in the clouds bidness” and “Video: What is Office 365?”. Finally, a charred lemon peel garnish captures the occasionally burnt-out, sardonic mood—“isn't feeling it today. Maybe I should read some Norman Vincent Peale”—while keeping things bright enough to still say “you won't know until you try...so quit whining.”
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Ty shows a clear pattern of curiosity and love of learning, especially around tech: he’s "learning about WordPress widgets" and relaxing with news and a Pinot Noir while on his MacBook Pro in “learning about WordPress widgets.” and “reading news on my macbookpro while drinking a Pinot Noir.”. His interest in “Office in the clouds bidness” and dual‑monitor workflow in Dreamweaver (“Wants to hear about this Office in the clouds bidness”, “just discovered dual monitor mode in Dreamweaver. It's life changing.”) shows the typical Ravenclaw delight in new tools and ways of thinking. He also shares nerdy trivia and wordplay like “did you know 'bookkeeper' is the only English word with 3 sets of paired consecutive letters?”, which is very ‘wit and learning for its own sake.’ At the same time, his wry, analytical commentary on ads (“I can't take any more IBM ads. Just build the smarter planet already and shut up!”) and tech releases (“iPhone 3.0 is very ho hum”) reflects a critical, thoughtful mindset rather than a purely emotional or ambitious one. While he clearly works hard and has hobbies like cycling, the strongest consistent thread is intellectual curiosity and clever observation—core Ravenclaw traits.
Your movie
Your song
Watching the Wheels - John Lennon
The best-fitting song is “Watching the Wheels” because Ty literally echoes its core line in “is just sittin' here watch the wheels go 'round and 'round”, suggesting he resonates with Lennon’s reflective, slightly detached outlook. His bio, “complete and total bad ass,” paired with laid-back, self-directed tweets like “There's always something more to do. I've decided to ignore all of it except the stuff I want to do.” aligns with the song’s theme of choosing your own pace and priorities despite outside expectations. The recurring Lennon/Beatles references, such as “Just read the current Rolling Stone cover story about The Beatles breakup...” and “is looking forward to hearing the news from Apple. I hope they worked it out with Yoko and that The Beatles (remastered) will be on iTunes”, show a deep connection to that musical era and mindset. He mixes wry criticism with a relaxed tone in tweets like “how to procrastinate yet feel productive? Organize your ToDo list(s)” and “doesn't matter what you do...someone is gonna bitch about it.”, mirroring the song’s calm acceptance of others’ judgments. Overall, Watching the Wheels captures his blend of tech-savvy, self-aware chill, and Beatles-centric worldview.
