  • Streaming Anime and Podcasts

    I’ve been listening to the Anime Pulse Podcast for a couple of months or more now and I have to say I’m pretty impressed with it. I like the Manga Pulse better, even though I don’t read huge amounts of manga in general, although I do get cravings. I find Tim and Weltall to be…

  • Media Center PC

    Just put the finishing touches on my Media Center PC. Was going to market these things around but decided with an $850 price tag, it didn’t matter how awesome it was, gonna be hard to get people to buy it. Even if a device that does everything this thing does would cost about $1200 or…

  • Social Networking Sites

    I saw yesterday that Google had finally released its take on social networking with their Buzz service that integrates into Gmail accounts. I think it’s pretty cool, even if I don’t have much use for it. I’ve been with Google Apps since day one and they haven’t released Buzz for Google Apps yet and it…

  • Anime on Blu-Ray

    I’ve heard two sides of the argument on blu-ray disks and players in general. The arguments are as follows: The disks are overly protected, you only get the full benefit of them if you use HDMI, otherwise you are throwing away your money. To play it on a computer you’ll need one of only two…

  • Death Note

    I’ve been following an anime called Death Note fairly closely over the past month or two. I believe it comes on Cartoon Network during the Adult Swim segment after 10pm(CST). While I admit I’m a pretty big fan of anime, and watch as much of it as I can possibly stand, it’s not often I…

  • The Nothing Day

    Pretty slow day honestly. Worked, came home, forgot to practice my cards. Was supposed to do something once I did get home but I forgot what that was. On a sweet note, Amazon is now selling Kindle’s for $299. I want one pretty bad and knocking off $80 or so has enticed me. Still dunno…

  • Cats and Mythology

    I have a large orange tom cat named Baron. He seems to have taken a keen interest in sleeping on my nightstand and blocking all the good air conditioning. Not sure why. Maybe he’s trying to protect me from getting cold or something. It’s kind of weird. My dog Dilios has taken to protecting me…

  • July 4th, First Postings

    I’ve used WordPress before on my Amahi server at home. I like it pretty well. Mostly I use it for media content for my running BESM game. Haven’t played that in a few weeks but I keep updating it. So the fourth was pretty uneventful at least for me. My brother and I sat out…

  • Warhammer Online

    Well I finally got Warhammer Online. Been waiting on it to release for what seems like ages. I like it really well. It does a lot of things World of Warcraft should do, like experience during PvP or "RvR" scenarios, public quests you can just join in and get benefit from whether you are in…

  • Otherkin and Psychic Vampires

    Well, I’ve been doing some research for a story that I’m working on. Set of stories actually. Been thinking about including modern mythology into them. Namely Otherkin and Psychic Vampires. The stuff you find on the web about Psychic Vampires is pretty detailed and you’ve got everything from those who are very adamant in their…
