On March 15, I was reading about MassResistance, a group that’s opposed to homosexuality, and I happened to come across an article on its founder, Brian Camenker, on Wikipedia. The article was just a tiny bit biased at the time you might say, so I added some templates that flagged the article so others would know it needed improvement in order to comply with Wikipedia’s quality standards. I then created the article for MassResistance itself as I thought it was odd that the founder had an article, and yet the organization did not. The first person to edit the article aside from myself was, to my surprise, Mr. Camenker. His edits weren’t exactly neutral. He even removed a link to the website MassResistance Watch, probably because he’s afraid of criticism. Of course, he doesn’t allow comments on the MassResistance Blog.

Ever since elementary school, excluding Freshman year of high school, we’ve had the pacer test, and ever since elementary school I’ve noticed it was sexist and ageist. Girls have a lower expectation than boys do, as do people who haven’t had their birthday yet that school year, and therefore are a few months younger than their peers. There are some arguments in favor of this discrimination that I’m going to address.

At my high school the sophomores, which includes myself, recently took a personality test online during what would have been our US History classes as some sort of indicator about colleges/careers we might consider for the future. For the test, I got INTJ as my personality type. I don’t know too much about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, but it seems like a bunch of nonsense.

I’m taking a Driver’s Education class and today I watched a mime pretend to get drunk, try to shout angrily (but he couldn’t as he was a mime), fall asleep in the middle of some room by himself, and then die (poor mime). Just thought I’d share this sad story.

decoy made a very nice atheistic symbol and I thought it would be even better if it was an SVG, so I used Delineate along with Potrace to convert his PNG file into an SVG.

Feel free to use it however you wish.

Also note that I did make sure it was fine to put up this image beforehand. He has an interesting IP Policy. ;)

I’ve also found some of the Golden Sun 4-Koma manga online.

I took down my original post for some reason, but I’ve decided to put it back up today (2007-11-11) to help anyone looking for the opening and ending theme songs to the anime This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, most of whom I’m guessing are coming from the video I uploaded to YouTube on July 30, 2006.

If you’re looking for the anime itself, you can buy the complete collection on Amazon. I don’t like the series very much, but to each their own.

Opening theme songs:

Endings theme songs:

  • Natsuiro no Kakera by Youko Ishida
  • Kimi ni Aete (or Kimini Aete) by Ayako Kawasumi and Ai Shimizu, the voice actors of Hikari and Akari, respectively
