Ok, you know the drill. I have nothing to write about, but somehow I’ll end up with 1000 words (hey, it ended up to be around 1050!) about something, somehow. Stange.
Today’s topics of study:
- MythBusters (yes, again)
- Scanner Photography
- Pandora.com
Anywho, on with the show..

wonka672: besides
wonka672: i would really feel kind of weird
wonka672: contributing to the nothingness that is gonad.org
wonka672: its almost like im giving into the fact that i cant produce anything worthwhile
wonka672: and thus joining the ranks at gonad.org
I was happily browsing through /b/ on 4chan and someone had posted some image mocking Scientology, with a link to an article at Wikipedia. So, I got reading.

So, I had some money, and I bought me a new guitar. I wasn’t entirely planning to, but I just can’t pass up a good deal (and weird coincidence) sometimes.

Now that’s a dramatic (song) title.
So, I put some Google Ads on the site a while back, and have been playing with them since. I’m not sure why–it was mostly Julie’s idea, but she got kicked off Google AdSense, since she’s a bad, unloving, disloyal person. I’ve most recently scaled them down in size from “pretty-damn-huge” to “not-quite-so-large,” and I think I like it. It’s fun having ads, since it makes me feel like Gonad.org is very important (beside it being the underground hub of all internet activity–can someone help me substantiate this?).
I had been thinking about other ad options (since I seem to be developing an ad fetish), and J-List came to mind. At first I thought, “ads! I don’t need no stinkin’ (uh, additional) ads!” but AJ randomly mentioned J-List’s ads while we were chatting, and it pushed me over the edge.
If you haven’t been there, they provide an amazingly large assortment of just about everything related to Japanese popular culture–from anime to porn, with a little Domo-kun on the side. They also have very eye-catching ads, which I’ve noticed on a number of websites I visit regularly. I’m actually very proud to put J-List on Gonad.org!
Happy New Year 
Anyone have any good resolutions? I forgot to make one, whoops!
Ok, I decided that my New Year’s resolution should be to upgrade to WordPress 2.0. So, I did. Therefore my resolution was a success and I have nothing to worry about. The upgrade from 1.5 was a piece of cake (as is usually the case), but I was forced to create a WordPress.com Blog (that I will most likely not use, but you never know..) to get a WordPress API key for the Akismet anti-spam plugin, which is included with 2.0.
I don’t think anything important is broken, but I haven’t taken a chance to look at things very well yet. If you see any problems, please post a comment to this post and let me know! I only know of one little hack I added (to a divider button to the post buttons) that I’ll have to revisit, since the entire post writing interface has been amazingly rewritten, but I don’t think I’ll worry about it yet Hm.. and a couple plugins are acting funky, now that I look at it, but they seem to have been mostly replaced by new features included in WordPress 2.0 anyway 
(And a couple css things need some tweaking, waaarg! Oh well, at least nothing significant is broken!)
