  It's a pretty interesting article about the origin of some video game names. A lot of it is speculation, and some parts are clearly opinion, but it's a good, albeit long read for anyone interested. Also lifted from /., it's a little painful because the author isn't familiar with Japanese, and therefore botches some stuff, but nonetheless, it managed to take up a good chunk of my free time.

  Speaking of /., there was an article about the destruction of mathematics by the schooling system. Also an interesting read, I won't reproduce the link here, but the author makes good points, and is quite prone to metaphor, which I am a big fan of. It's a big shift in paradigm, but I don't oppose it. Especially for the majority of Liberal Arts people.

  In other news, I've gotten more progress, and an update should come soon...at least by the time I'm back in America.

  I'm also nearing idol status, which is a pretty interesting place for me. I'm sure my dad's used to it, seeing as how I don't know of a single person who doesn't like him (save my mom, which is a story in itself), which is distinct from people who don't hate him. I'm sure there's at least a few people who don't like me very much.

  Japanese class is almost over, people are coming to China, and next week my sister finally gets out of school!
