MegaTokyo is about to explode! Not really, but here’s a couple of American guys who are writing their own web anime. You can also get the dead tree version in your local comic store.

I never really got into it, but it’s an interesting link nonetheless

So, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve started a new daily (!!) feature to the site, Quote/Link of the Day. It’s tough to keep that up, especially the quotes. So here’s a site for all software engineers to reference. They got some choice nuggets in there.

Read it and you’ll come to understand the profound difficulty that software development is.

I like riding my bike for recreation. I am sure I would love riding my bike for transportation. If only we can be serious about our transportation infrastructure, then maybe we can create a country with choices for moving about. I’m not advocating for bikes, but for a practical and sensible approach to our future needs.

The Streets Blog discusses “livable streets.” It’s a good resource to read for ideas about sensible uses of our streets for a better living.

I took an animation class while in film school. I liked it plenty.

I use to read CartoonBrew daily just because it seemed to be connected with the industry. I like their stance on dearth of hand drawn animation in the US.

If you love animation, then you can do no wrong than by visiting today’s link.

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.
