For those of you that do not know about the day of silence, it is symbolism for those whose rights, or very lives were taken away, and the fact that their cries of help went unnoticed for so long.

That being said, it was an interesting day.

To the people who did not know why we were doing this, we carried around tiny papers that said why we were silent. At lunch, my colleagues who were also participating brought in a smash cake (hollow chocolate + hammer -> :3) and we covered several poster-board-sized papers with writing. All in all, the 'event' was a sucess, and considerable awareness was raised.

Some more memorable quotes from the paper, mostly internet related;
'This paper's virginity has been broken!'
'The obligatory "The smash cake is a lie" quote'
'Longcat is looong'
'A group of clumsy, silent individuals are very loud indeed.'
'This paper has been left blank intentionally'
(Was immediately written over...)

-- End the silence

Post-Script rant; the Wii sucks. In points.

-Buying old games is a key feature
-Only console w/out DVD player
-Lowest selection of games
-Poor/nonexistent use of new controls (Why isn't GC controller usable?)
-Limited number of good games
-Very small memory space
-Unable to copy save game data onto an SD card

... All I can think of right now. It's 2:21 AM and I should be going to sleep. Night.
