It is a terrible thing to have something in the mind’s eye that you just can’t get out on the paper right away! I’ve been working on art for my mangaKabob site in between taking care of sick kids. And boy am I rusty, but it is still quite satisfying to be able to just […]
It felt like Christmas came a little early when I saw that Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl vol. 1 was already out in the State Street Borders. This is another of those weird gender bending stories, only this time space aliens are responsible for initiating the gender confusion. This is another one of those manga niches […]
This morning I woke up thinking, I’ll create a little manga and anime aStore! Thus mangaKabob, a tasty shishkabob of manga and anime was born. Creating these Amazon aStores is so easy and addictive that I imagine there will be a great increase in little Amazon powered boutique web storefronts soon. I still have some […]
Whenever I hear stories such as the one of James Kim and his family becoming lost in the Oregon wilderness, I’m filled with dread at the likely outcome. Nevertheless, after hearing of the rescue of his family, I was filled with hope that somehow he would be found alive. But that hope disappeared when the […]
Winter in Chicago often brings cold winds with a chill to freeze an unwary soul. But it does have its upsides. For one, fashionable, sexy boot season begins downtown! So in honor of this wonderful time of the year, and Amazon’s aStores coming out of beta, I’ve begun work on reBootzu.
reBootzu is an online boutique […]
Oh boy, you just gotta love the irony of a violent Christian-themed video game coming out in time for Christmas. Left Behind: Eternal Forces has been roundly criticized for its “convert the heathens or kill them” gameplay. Despite this, it will likely have pretty good sales, presumably snapped up by many of the 63 million […]
When the big outsourcing to India craze began in earnest, I would often rant about how U.S. corporations didn’t seem to realize that they were essentially giving away the family jewels and growing their next great competitors. Now it looks like the chickens are beginning to come home to roost as described in India 2.0: […]
Today’s walk to work was greeted with what I like to call a hard blue sky. It’s the kind of clear blue sky that tells you it is freakin cold outside. And indeed, this morning was pretty cold. But I was happy because it took my mind off of other troubles for just a little […]
Netflix must love customers like me. I’ll rent a bunch of anime DVDs and then keep them out for months because I don’t have time to sit down and watch them. Still, it ends up being cheaper for me than buying and less hassle than a traditional rental outlet which wouldn’t have the stuff I’m […]
The latest TV ads for the redesigned iPod Shuffle seemed to be getting under my skin for some reason. The ad features a series of people morphing into each other as they put on clothing and then clip on the new clip shaped Shuffle. It’s a clever ad in the way that we’ve come to […]
