AnimeUSA 2011 Last day pics

Pictures from the third and last day of AnimeUSA 2011. Kind of a shame, there has been an anime convention in Crystal City since at least 1997, and this will be the last one for the foreseeable future. I went to my first one, Katsucon 4 I think it was, in 1998, and had only missed a couple there after that. Ah, well, the price of growth, they just got too big to be handled in the Hyatt. I don’t think they’ll have as much problem next year, since it looked like this year’s attendance was down. Not as much disposable income lately…

It’s coming, the Geek Singularity! A review of the webcomic “Weregeek”

This webcomic, “Weregeek”, is one of my favorites, mainly because it deals with all kinds of nerdy, geeky, fanboy things, like RPGs, sci-fi, games, comics, etc.

And so began a quest, a quest for the ages…

I have been here, so many, many times

Presenting The Oomphalapompatronium!

Now, if this thing doesn’t make you want to go out to the garage and throw together some kind of music-making thingamajig, I don’t know what would!

Apparently this guy, Leonard Solomon, makes all kinds of musical instruments out of, well, stuff. He gives performances of his musical and geeky machinery, since at least 1985. Check out the other videos on his page!

Well? What would YOU do?

Three years old, and she’s already got the right idea, if monsters come into your room, what would you do? This is very important, because monsters can sneak in when you aren’t looking! Don’t really know what part of them is their “ask”, though…

I love her Mom’s reaction, she doesn’t want to laugh, but how can you not?

Occupy Wall Streeter, and Mom

Cats and fire (taking a break before the next rant)…

I’ve never seen a cat deal with fire before, so this may be natural. I suspect not, though. The owner’s comment states that this cat likes the taste of its own singed fur, but I’m not convinced. It does seem to be licking its paws a lot, but then I’d be doing that too if my hand got too hot trying to handle an open flame. At any rate, the cat looks like it’s fascinated by the flame itself, almost like it’s analyzing it.

“Some day, I’ll learn the Big Ones’ secret about you, then they’d better watch out!”
