If every year a Pixar film had to go up against a Studio Ghibli film for the Best Animated Film Oscar, I think Pixar would lose. It’s not that Pixar’s films are not the best, but that they seem to lack the maturity towards storytelling and to the story that you find in a Studio Ghibli film.
I can honestly say that Studio Ghibli’s films rank higher than most Pixar films in my book, the exception being the phenomenal, The Incredibles.
Again, I am sending you to a Japanese only site. Sorry. If you want to know more about Studio Ghibli, but in English, google.
I think I finished up my masters degree this week. I turned in the final assignment and am now just waiting for the sheepskin to be sent my way. Barring any unforseen errors by myself or by the school, it should happen. I will be a Master of Science in Software Engineering!
The graduation ceremenony is on the 17th and I am pondering on whether to walk or not. I feel obliged since I did pay for the gown, but I really don’t want to be there on that day. I would like to, so that I know that I have accomplished something, but I’m too shy about it. I would walk for my parents to show them that their progeny also value education and for my grandparents who lead my parents to getting schooled. I wouldn’t walk because I would rather be riding my bike on that morning.
All in all, I am again undecided. Like a freshman.
Aaron Hillegass has probably done the most to promote Cocoa, the Mac OS
X framework. I've taken his class at the Big Nerd Ranch which was an
awesome week. The third edition of "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" is
coming out soon. If you are interested in becoming a Mac developer or
an iPhone developer, this is the book for you. I'm thinking of upgrading to this, but it will be strange to have 4 of
the same books at home.http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=47

I started reading this manga only a few hours ago, and I find that I am enjoying it. It’s about bread baking, but done up with as a hero’s quest story plus a dash of Iron Chef. It’s that competition that makes it so intriguing.
