Something wild and crazy about myself: I have lived in so many different cities and parts of the world, that the toughest question to answer is "What is your home town?"

"The children of Doom...Doom's children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the earth. Hah! Time enough for the earth in the grave."
-Conan the Barbarian [the movie]

Name: evilbunny likes to remain anonymous, but will reveal that she is a
Stanford graduate student, and as her posts reveal, she is married.

She was born in CA, in silicon valley, but was forcibly relocated by her parents at the tender age of 4 to Nowhereville, Northern CA, 4,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevadas, population 400. By contrast her high school [30 minutes down the mountain] had 400 students [total] and at the time was located in the rather large town of 20K people! There were no movie theaters in the county she grew up in and her parents didn't believe in TV so she read a lot, a whole lot, to entertain herself.

My mission in lifeAt this current time my aspiration is to finish my dissertation, however, I would like to eventually become the evil, despotic, ruler of the universe. Henchmen applications are currently being accepted.

The Unofficial Stanford Blog is a student group devoted to the authentic expression of Stanford voices and perspectives. We are a community of students, faculty and staff passionate about blogging and dedicated to innovation in online content and distribution. We exist to make life on campus more engaging, transparent, and fun.

TUSB is the brain child of Galen Panger '07, who discovered that blog.stanford.edu was not registered on Stanford webspace. He quickly registered it and with the help of some friends created a student group to create a space for students and other Stanford affiliates to speak openly about things they cared about. The Daily wrote about TUSB in April.

After graduating, Galen went on to work at Google and left Jason Shen '08 and Christian Tom '08 as co-presidents. We worked over the summer to transfer the URL blog.stanford.edu to make way for a Stanford Blog Directory that is run by Ian Hsu, Director of Internet Media Outreach and member of TUSB's board of directors.

The blog currently gets 1,200 unique daily visitors, is updated every few days and has 40 active bloggers. If you're interested in blogging, sign up here. If you want to email Jason and Christian, email blogforstanford at gmail dot com.

The Cantor Center, otherwise known as the Stanford Museum, has had some pretty awesome exhibits over the years that I've been here. Current exhibits on rotation include "In the American West," a photography exhibit, "Visions of Dharma," an exhibit on contemporary Thai art -- and "Beefcake," an exhibition of the Stanford Library's collection of Dave Martin photography.

...those anti-abortionists.

Every year, the relatively male-heavy group, Students for Life, dominates White Plaza with their bold symbolic protest against abortion, and every year the all-female Students for Choice group stands with a humble table nearby, helping to re-ground students who might otherwise be seduced by the hugely emotional display. There are 464 crosses, one for every 100,000 fetuses legally aborted since Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973.
