The amazing thing about this video is how well the two anime fit together! Although the idea of Gendo joining the SOS Brigade is scary.

The Hierarchy of Disagreement. Learn it. Use it. Live it.

During the past year or so, upon returning from the hallowed halls of the Judicial System to the Wild West of Otakudom, I have been subjected to many arguments from people who think calling someone “GAY” is equivalent to scoring some sort of metaphysical point. Coming from a line of work where precision of argument is of the utmost importance, I would like to disabuse these people of their delusions.

Save us, oh omnipotent capricious high schooler! And deliver us from Endless Eight. Amen.

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

When I got married and moved out of my parents’ house last January I lost a very dear thing to me — unlimited broadband Internet access.

Oh the humanity!

Before that I spent my bandwidth as if it were water — downloading videos I had no intention of watching immediately, running a personal text-based role-playing server, clicking through link after link on Wikipedia, soaking up my brains with trivial knowledge that had little or nothing to do with my current tasks at hand. (Mame chishiki!) I even ran a Shoutcast stream off my PC, playing space ambient, game remixes, and radio programs for the few friends who knew of its existence. (This is Radio Morningstar.) (more…)

Sorry for the lack of an long article today! Hectic day, setting up broadband and wifi at the condo and writing articles!

Let me leave you in the care of our teenaged goddess Haruhi and her new opening song, Super Driver!
