Not long ago, a genuinely likable boy who went by the handle Lukeywes1234 was just an ordinary young YouTube account holder. At least before the /b/tards over at 4chan decided that he was their new king, mass subscribing to his channel and posting tribute videos like the one above.

News: Haruhi “Reborn”

by otaking on Jan.04, 2010, under News

Yay more Haruhi! Wait, what do you mean 'More of the SAME Haruhi'? I thought they did that with Endless Eight already!

Longtime readers know how ticked off I was about Haruhi’s Endless Eight fiasco. Even though KyoAni never reused animation throughout the arc, I kept thinking they were being cheap, lazy bastards, except I thought they were keeping the money for themselves.

From boingboing, from Cory Doctorow:

Electronic Frontiers Australia have posted their authoritative condemnation of the Australian government’s plan to impose mandatory, national filtering on the Australian Internet (like the filters used in Iran, Syria, China, and other repressive regimes). EFA points out that this national censorship plan will do little to curb child pornography and crime (because people who seek out that sort of thing can always get around filters), but it will give unaccountable government bureaucrats the power to secretly and arbitrarily hide information from Australians.

Radio Free Morningstar on Nullspace Aetherband 32

Hi guys! I was playing with my graphics programs today and came up with this wallpaper for Radio Free Morningstar, from my webcomic The Vigilant! It depicts Jaden Stormchaser’s satellite pirate radio station, the Morningstar, hovering above Central City in geosynchronous Nullspace orbit, rendered in glorious ray-tracer-ific 3D! A translucent bubble of Free Nullspace, it gives Sentinel Jaden a 360 degree view, perfect for spotting incursions from the Far Reaches!
