I like to believe that my word was accepted because wizards control everything rather than the fact that apparently, squibs are also mini explosives.

Piliin ang Pilipinas (Choose Philippines)
I want to visit a lot of these places some day.
Also, 2:48, because apparently every Philippine tourism video needs a rap.

Pentagram: What Type Are You? ›
These are my results:
Your type is Archer Hairline.
Designed by Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, Archer Hairline is a modern typeface with a straightforward appearance but one that has tiny outbreaks of elegance and tiny dots of emotion, only apparent on closer examination. If you are someone who is outwardly composed but will occasionally run into the bathroom for a quick laugh or quiet cry before emerging to the world outwardly composed again, then Archer Hairline is your type.
What type are you?

Cover of Adele’s Someone Like You by Walk Off The Earth
Also this. A million times this. Best and most original cover of this song, I think.

Cover of Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know by Walk Off The Earth
This song. After hearing the original a couple times on the radio, it has grown on me a lot and I love this cover.

Would who you were as a child like who you are now?
I’m re-inspired.
Today, we had an all-staff meeting for STAR. I actually didn’t know that meant that all the staff of the different STAR schools in the LA area would be meeting under one auditorium until the day before. Katya Bozzi, the co-founder of the program, was the main speaker as she gave everyone a history of how STAR came to be as this was the non-profit’s 25th anniversary of being in existence.
First, I need to state that at 61, she is one incredible ball of energy. You could see the passion she has for what she does and what we do. Whenever someone praised her, she often always directed it back to the staff. When she spoke about how much she wanted to see change and how much time, energy, and money she and her husband spent to start this program up, you felt it. She told us that along with being passionate, you had to be a little crazy. Talk in superlatives. Imagine everything in grandeur.
She asked us, “Would who you were as a child like who you are now?” It was a simple question but it left an impact on me. Even though I am not exactly how I envisioned when I was younger, would I be happy with how I ended up? I think we all need to be reminded of that question once in a while.
I realize that, though now I am pretty sure that I don’t want to be a full-time teacher, I still want to be an educator with the same passion that Katya has. I remind myself of what one of my goals in life is and that is to be able to share a love of learning about the world with others and it makes me happy. And love is so important. Love for people, love for what you do.
During the fundraising portion of the meeting, the person in charge of that department made a presentation in which she stressed that fundraising is not asking people for money. It is sharing your love for what you do with others and showing your passion so that others will feel it and become passionate to. That is where the money will come from. People give to people, not organizations.
Many staff have stayed with the non-profit, climbing the ranks for five, ten, and even twenty years but they all speak about the love they have for the community they’ve created working together. So yes, STAR is in its 25th year now and I am glad that I am a part of it.

I think the Tumblr crowd can empathize with this. Sold at the xkcd store.
Someone get this for me and I’ll wear it.

Wiki Dependency of the Day: Katie Notopoulos is using her Twitter account to catalog the complaints emanating from Millennials worried about how the Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 is going to affect their school projects.
[@katienotopoulos.]
A couple things:
1. People really need to learn how to use other forms of research to help with assignments. I mean, if you don’t want to make the trek to the library, there a bunch of online resources including google that has PDFs of a bunch of different readings and documents.
2. This reminds me of a class that all global studies majors had to take about how to do research. Back when I was in the class, I thought it was a waste of time really, but now I think people need it.
3. People say Wikipedia is not a credible source anyway, but I think I’ll disagree with that. Most of the articles and information are true and for articles that do get edited with lies, they get fixed pretty quickly.
4. Also, Wikipedia is a big help if you know how to use it. If you want basic info, then read the articles and use that as a point to do research elsewhere. Buuut, Wikipedia articles are also great for sources for different books and websites about whatever subject you need, since it requires sources for a lot of the facts people post. I used to go to the Wiki page, check the sources used, and use that to do research. I’d never cite Wikipedia in my bibliography, but I’d put down the source that the info came from.
5. That’s it. I actually want to catalog all the Wikipedia pages that I’ve looked at this year, though that might seem excessive. I’ll check my browser history and see if it’s too much.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxycd8NbPi1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

A Taste Of Things To Come? of the Day: Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has just announces via Twitter that he will be joining the anti-SOPA blackout planned for this Wednesday, January 18th.
Starting at midnight EST, the English version of Wikipedia will go dark for 24 hours, crippling student reports everywhere, and hopefully bringing much-needed attention to the Internet killing bill and its congressional sibling, PIPA.
Even though SOPA was shelved over the weekend after President Obama expressed opposition to the bill, it is still expected to reemerge.
Reddit’s Internet blackout initiative, which was officially unveiled last week, has been steadily picking up steam, with multiple Internet giants announcing their intentions to follow suit.
A list of sites that have confirmed their participation can be found here.

Rocko’s Modern Life - Zanzibar
My favorite episode of my favorite cartoon.
When I was in elementary school, I was really into endangered animals and environmentalism. I even tried making a club among my friends that focused on saving the planet. One of the things I did was get people to learn the recycle song from this episode. I wish more cartoons these days inspired kids to do something.
