Helping out with the AMC website, I threw together a quick Drupal 4.7 module (haven’t tested it on newer version of Drupal yet) to export user profile data generated by the profile module to a CSV file suitable for import into a spreadsheet program.
UPDATE: After searching the Drupal website, I realized that someone had already invented this wheel.
Who I am is a transcultural, multicultural, interracial, hybrid, bridging worlds, being. I am Hollee McGinnis also-known-as Lee Hwa Yeong. I have an Asian face, an Irish last name, a blond-haired mother.
But who I am is not just about who I know myself to be, but who I want to also be known as in this world. At its best, intercountry adoption demonstrates to me the greatness of our human spirits to love across race, nationality and culture. But I also know that it takes a lot more than just love to make a success; – it requires courage, honesty, and commitment.
This means we must be willing to talk about the hard stuff – the discrimination, inequalities, and prejudices that exist in the world. We must also be willing to change and challenge our societies so that the gift we give our children – adopted or not – besides the love and security of a permanent family is a world that values them for who they are and who they will be – regardless of race, nationality, culture or circumstance.
This is from a great NYT op-ed piece about intercountry, transracial adoption, race, and complicated identities.
On behalf of Nu Alpha Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., I
would like to invite you to participate in our “Men Against Sexual Assault
and Domestic Violence.” This program will be held at the Monroe County
Public Library’s Auditorium on Thursday November 15, 2007 from 7pm-9pm.
The program will be divided into three sections. First, a representative
from the Middle Way House of Bloomington Indiana will speak about sexual
assault/domestic violence. Then, we will facilitate a dialogue on the
issues surrounding sexual assault/domestic violence. Last, there will be a
resource fair providing information about preventing sexual
assault/domestic violence and ways to support victims of sexual
assault/domestic violence.
Please join us for this important conversation!
Sincerely,
Russell Hollis, Basileus

Quadrillion Babes is new grunge-inspired pop-punk from Bloomington that is the partial result of one grouping from last spring’s band-in-a-hat. Sports is also from Bloomington. Teenage Waistband is from Providence, RI. I know of them because one of their members played in the great Gainesville band, Reactionary 3.
At the Defiance, Ohio 5 year anniversary party, I talked to Will’s dad, who has worked for years with consumer credit counseling about good resources for checking your credit rating. He gave me 2:
And North Shore Advisory can help you establish and build a credit score.
transunion.com provides your credit score. Will’s dad broke it down like this: 550 is a bad score, 850 is a good score, and the average score is 680/690.

My job is letting me work while I’m on tour. For the most part I can just log into machines remotely. I log into my workstation and from there, I can get access to internal machines. I just keep a screen session running so I can pick up where I left off. However, I’ve run into frustrations when I have to copy images that I edit on my notebook to a remote host that is beyond my SSH gateway. So, I made a simple script called scpush that copies the file from my notebook the a dropbox directory on the SSH gateway and then copies the file from the gateway to the ultimate destination.

Phil Elverum (Mt. Eerie, The Microphones) has been making wild
beautiful stuff for years now. Music, Art, Books… He has attained
legendary status with his own albums, and has played on or recorded
some of the best stuff to ever come out of the Dub Narcotic studio.
He will be playing solo at this show.
Check out his website/label to get an idea what thus guy is about:

Laurel Knapp is “Privacy”. Marriage records puts out her recordings.
Relevant Quote: “Her gentle singing, which is really
more akin to breathing softly and talking at the same time,
was, and is on this recording, something to behold”. That sounds right.

Halloween Harvest: A Hoosier Hills Food Drive feat.
Melt Banana
Racebannon
Busman’s Holiday
The zombedy of Dave Coonce
Tuesday Oct. 30th

Rhino’s
$10 or $8 with 2 or more canned goods. Tickets and donations bins at Tracks, Landlocked, and Rhino’s.
Winter is coming and the Hoosier Hills Food bank needs donations now more than ever. And what is your reward for giving to those in need? A night with Japanese noise rock legends Melt Banana. While money pays for bands, the Hoosier Hills Food Bank could really use the food. Even if you don’t come to the show, drop off some canned goods at Landlocked, Tracks, or Rhino’s.
The term legend is not thrown around lightly but in the case of Japan’s Melt Banana the term aptly applies. Less a band than an aural force of nature, Melt Banana has been splitting eardrums and expanding musical boundaries for nearly 20 years. Their live show is an event that any words I can produce will fail to do justice.

Racebannon is a musical buzz saw that has been cutting a swath through Bloomington for years. Taking their cues from everything that was great about hard rock and metal over the past 30 or so years, Racebannon is a ruthless, earsplitting, bottom dropping, head crushing. musical behemoth dead set on destroying stages from Bloomington to Bangkok and all points in between.

Fact: There is no show on earth that will not be made better by the inclusion of Busman’s Holiday. These dual set of brothers form like a Voltron to create sweet harmonies and acoustic melodies that belie a defiant f-u ethos as the rail against government corruption, ecological failings, and the plight of the little folk like you and me. Doubt me, listen to the lyrics, they aren’t messing around.
