Maybe some sort of personal video is in order?

It's actually 501 now so I'd better get on that.. The 500th subscriber was AmbientMusicII.

Greener gender video postponed for now.

On request from the documentary make, I have made the greener gender video private for now. I will try to bring it back online as soon as possible.

Do you like filler?

ArgusEyes — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:35:43 GMT

For the 10 people who actually read this thing and care, I still am feeling quite tired due to working singularly on a quite complicated project for my work. I have put up filler in the past (Tom Leykis, Dennis Prager, Mike McConnell, etc).

Do people enjoy watching these? I think that it does contribute so that's why I've done it in the past but I always feel a little guilty about doing it on a channel that should mainly be about producing original content.

On a break.

Long time viewers will notice that I occasionally go on a break (normally without telling anyone) and I thought I should mention that I am on one now, I normally resume video making activities when I feel “back in the mood” to do it.

[edit] I will try to keep the blog updated as it requires less effort than making a video. If the break continues for too long then I will post some of that cheapo taken-from-a-podcast content like I do sometimes with the Mike McConnell or Dennis Prager shows. I try not to post too many videos like this as I see it as a little cheap to people expecting original content. However, there is good stuff to be had in some of these clips that is not already on youtube and I think others will like it.

Does that make me half evil?

Not that I would believe in superstitious stuff like that in the first place. Seriously though, thanks for the subscriptions people. It’s shot up in the last few weeks. Stuff like this keeps me making the videos because the natural tendency is laziness!

Linkage!

I have finally gotten around to adding some more links to the sidebar on the right. I have added all the old sites I have in my bookmarks, if I am missing one then you can contact me with the links you want me to add.

I am back from my hols, video coming soon.

On my hols...

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been on my holidays. Next week I shall be home and should still have some spare time so I am planning to get something made.

Since I read a part of his article in my latest video. I though it would be a cool idea to list some of his best material as regards feminism.

I recommend you go on over and check out all of his stuff.

A Retrospective. A thanks. A forecast. A proper video

Sorry for the wind at the beginning. It gets better after a minute or so.

An update about what is happening with me. A thanks to the subscribers and my plans for the future.

That *pock* sound you hear in the background is a farmer dispatching our feathered/furry friends.

Oh yeah, I'm the man!

Susurration of a Shibboleth

ArgusEyes — Thu, 08 May 2008 23:04:17 GMT

su•sur•ra•tion
A soft, whispering or rustling sound; a murmur.

shib•bo•leth
A custom or practice that betrays one as an outsider.

This blog has been given an interesting name, a name which I have created from the concatenation of two unusual words. A susurration is a soft sound or a lingering sigh, one of the definitions of a shibboleth is an action that betrays one as an outsider.

And this represents what I want to say. I feel sometimes that I am completely insane, I am living in a world that makes no sense. We live in a world where fundamentalist religion is making a resurgence, where our freedom of speech is being eroded – and we don't care. We live in a world where we say what is proper, not what is correct. We live in a world where our culture is being traded out under our feed by greedy and stupid politicians. We live in a world of degeneration and decay, irrational and foolish though is the order of the day. We live in a world where men are denigrated and yet we still say that we are an enlightened and open minded culture.

This blog and all accompanying videos represent my values. These values roughly fall into the following groups:

Men’s rights
Science
Atheism
Anti-fundamentalism
Anti-political correctness
Anti radical feminism

I hope that these videos and articles provide a new and interesting perspective on many subjects and are enjoyed by many people. I suppose that my biggest hope is that I can make a difference and affect some people’s attitudes with my arguments. Whether or not this happens, I will still stand for what I think is right even if this means acting as a David against a Goliath (the institution of political correctness can be characterised as thus).

Only a brave person is willing to admit honestly, and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers.
