Tilt shift photography is gaining a big following in the world. I think it’s because of the digital camera revolution making it quite easy for anyone to take photos often. You can take many pictures and not worry about how good or bad they turn out because you can always take more again. Practice.

Anyhow, tilt shift photography makes your pictures look like miniatures. Nendoroids are miniatures, but not like that. Check out the site for more interesting photos.

Don’t let Marge @ the FishTank see this or else she’ll go on a ramen craving but find disappointment (and high blood pressure) in cup noodle.

Today’s link takes you to Anime News Network where you can get all your latest news about anime, manga and the like. You don’t need that news? My bad. I thought you were as geeky as me. Today’s link also takes you to where you can watch the episodes free of charge. This type of streaming may be better than downloading a torrent of the anime you want to watch. At the very least, it’s legit.

Valkyrie

I liked Valkyrie better than I thought I would. It was suspenseful for a story that you knew the ending of. Do they successfully kill Hitler? Nope. Yet, I was still wondering when the gestapo would kill them all.

Good flick. Makes me want to find out about the actual plot, and its reality. How well does Singer stick to the script of the truth and how much was made up? Did Tom Cruise’s character really act that way?

Better than I thought.

3 of 5 stars.
