User:Ksnortum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ksnortum and
AntiEntropy are
both handles for me, Knute Snortum. Below are
my known biases so you can know somthing about me and
I can better write from a nuetral point of view. If you think I'm not doing that, you can always talk to me.
The name AntiEntropy comes from a conversation I had with my father when I was a teenager. I asked him why humans were around at all, since entropy was the rule in the universe. He responded, "We are
a temporary enclave of anti-entropy." That phrase has stuck with me, although I tend to see it
with a certain irony.
[ and
world views">edit] My biases and
world views
[edit] Politics
I'm a moderate politically. I lean right of center on some issues and
left on others. I voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and
John Kerry in 2004. I am
a member of the Republican Party. I argue the conservative side at my mom's house and
the liberal side at my in-laws. I hate talk radio (except for NPR).
[edit] Religion
I am
a Protestant Christian without any other strong denominational ties. I am
an ethnic Jew in the sense that my mother is
Jewish. My mother is
a Holocaust survivor. My father was a university professor and
an agnostic.
[edit] Science
I am
an amateur scientist, especially Computer Science, Mathematics, and
Physics. My vocation is
as a software developer for a small company. Basically, I am
a geek.
I see no conflict in being scientific and
religious. One of my favorite books on this subject is
The Mind of God by Paul Davies.
I am
a musician. I play piano at an
early advanced level. I also play guitar and
drums well enough to by asked to play them now and
then. I used to be a fair trombonist in college. I play a mean kazoo. I enjoy and
play nearly all types of music, including Jazz, and
roll">Rock, Clasical, Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, and
some Pop.
[edit] Comics
I love comics, especially webcomics, Manga, and
Anime. I may seem a bit old for Anime, but remember, I grew up with Speed Racer and
Astro Boy. I'm not really into Sailor Moon but I do own a Powerpuff Girls DVD. (It was given to me, but I still enjoyed it.) You can see more
about what I read and
what I think about webcomics at my external home page and
at the webcomics list.
I've been working on -- but never finished -- an
extended version of the Bruno (webcomic) article here
I was born on January 22nd. I'm writing that here so I don't forget. I'm going to write a program that will display my age:
If you're interested in the Perl code, it's a really simple CGI you can download here.
My family tree is
here.
If you want to see an
"ego search" using Goggle's web services click here. The code is
here.
[edit] Wikipedia References
Here are
some Wikipedia newcomer references I want to save, but get off my talk page.
