Link of the Day [2.26.09]

I’ve never read Love Hina. I’ve heard good things about it. It’s a harem manga and kami-sama knows how cliched they could be. I might pick it up after reading how it makes otaku swoon. I’m sucker for harem manga (Ichigo 100% is straight up harem), but I hope the guy is no doofus (in Ichigo 100% that guy’s frustrating) so that I’m not yelling at him every few pages.

Link of the Day [2.24.09]

I had probably linked his predictions prior to our Oscar Pool, but Nate Silver does an analysis of where he went wrong. There’s a comment there that congratulates him on missing only two. I think we all did just as good and we were picking names out of a hat. When I think back, it would’ve been just as well to have gone with the front runners. You would’ve nailed all them. And no, Sean Penn, wasn’t a big surprise — see Eddie Murphy in best supporting actor.
