“You’d better flush out your head, new guy. This isn’t about freedom; this is a slaughter. If I’m gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is ‘poontang’.”
Animal Mother, Full Metal Jacket

I think I love reading manga better than watching anime.
For today anyway.
I’m on the lookout for sights that can point out some good manga. I know the genres. I just don’t know what’s good, worth spending my money on, worth reading, or worth getting wrapped up around.

Fat War in Japan!
Well not exactly.
It looks like they want to get their populace to slim down. Perhaps it’s all the rice that they eat. I wonder if we can do that in the States?

I’ve been picking up PiQ magazine to get some American flavor with my anime news. Unfortunately, they’re going out of business after this last issue. Here’s a perspective from one of their writers.

I’m tracking you as you surf this site. Sorry. Big brother is here.
But over the weekend statcounter went down. If you visited this site at the time, you would’ve had to have waited until the request for the statcounter badge timed out before you saw any content. Sorry again.
Those guys at statcounter also are sorry. And they’ll tell you how it happened. Blow by blow and in excruciating technical detail. Hunh? Whatever! But it’s good to know that they don’t keep you in the dark.
They’ll make amends next time.

“Internet? Inter-not!”

Today’s link tells you a story of the internet and the World Wide Web. It seems ancient to dwell on it, but it’s best to know how you got to the place you are going. With iPhone 2.0, it’ll be a hell of a future, so let’s not forget the past. Let’s celebrate it with the creators of our future.

Buy me something here. I especially am awaiting for the Kawazoe Tamaki figure.

Lightning is scary. So be careful.
I often wonder what I would do if I got caught out in a thunderstorm while out on a bike ride. You see, my bike is steel, all the better to be nice conduit of electrical energy. I’m riding a lightning rod. So when a storm comes up, should I abandon my trusty steed and duck for cover? I don’t know. I hope to not find out. I’m a little bit scared thinking about it.

If you aren’t reading John Gruber’s DaringFireball, then you are missing out on perceptive analysis of Apple and all Apple related issues. You should probably read his take on the Steve Jobs keynote. He’ll surprise you.

This year’s Apple Developer conference is sold out. Looks to be a halo effect with iPhone development bringing in others into the Apple/Mac developer fold.
Why am I not one of them? And why are these lame people joining now? I’ve been predicting for years that Mac development is the way to go. Now it looks to have come true. Dang!
