Anime - Japanese Animation
Baka - Japanese word for idiot or fool
Loosely put an Anime Baka is someone who's crazy about Anime. However interpretation's may vary. I tend to think of Anime Baka as meaning something like drooling fan boy/girl.

Wrote this a long time ago. Too short for an article:
Perverted - Hentai in Japanese. But the word pervert means deviation from normal or accepted. So, how can all guys be perverts?
Did you ever notice that the sex scene in the movie is generally at about the same realative place as the guitar solo in a song?

Bevy and I drove down to San Francisco Today (Sunday) to interact with some members of the Western Warship Combat Club. I think everyone had a blast although we didn't really live fire any of the Ships. I brought my Victor 32 and Bevy and the guys had fun sailing it. The wind was a little disappointing, but still fun. I got to steer a few different ships and found it wasn't as easy as I though...more
2009-06-18 Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence BINGO!
Well last night Bevy and I went down to attend the Sisters Bingo. We didn't come back until today (2AM that is), but that's Bevy's fault for wanting to find reasonably priced food in San Francisco near eleven oclock. Lucky Penny is open 24 hours and is near Japan Town and has meals for $10 or so. Although the mashed potatoes were watery, it's one of the few places in SF that you can eat on a ...more
2009-06-18 Burma - Union of Myanmar -SUCKS!
Been meaning to write about this. A few weeks Bevy and I netflixed (new verb) the new Rambo movie. We were expecting blood, gore, bullets and knives. We were not expecting brutal reality, but that's what we found. This story opened our eyes to horrors that are happening there now. People are being killed for no reason. Women are being raped to subject them and their people. This is one of the...more
2009-06-17 Dragonball Kai
This is rather interesting. They are re-editing and cleaning up the original DragonBall series. This new edit is trimming off a lot of the fat. It's expected to trim it from 291 episodes (of pre-fight shouting matches) to 100 episodes of things happening. They're striving to keep it as close as possible to the manga. I'd watch for this at a fansubber near you. Hope it gets licenced and on DVD ...more
2009-06-1 Maker Fair
Bevy and I headed down to Maker Fair http://www.makerfaire.com/ in San Mateo this weekend. We met up with Jesse and Kat and helped with the running of Jesse's table/booth. It was a blast and Bevy even managed to have a lot of fun, but found the crowds overwhelming. There were plenty of crafts exhibits and booths to keep her occupied. By the end both Jesse and I both ended up with Subscriptions ...more
2009-05-28 Youtube Shows
Jesse also found this. He found that YouTube had all the episodes of MacGyver. In looking into it quickly found that YouTube has quite a show listing including quite a lot of Anime. It again looks to be Ad supported (legal and free). This is really quite interesting. Everyone is dukeing it out with Hulu although Hulu still leads the pack in my opinion.

2009-05-28 Crunchyroll Looks Good
My friend Jesse literally stumbled across the Crunchyroll office in San Francisco while servicing some equipment at a office next door.
Crunchyroll is an interesting company. They provide free legal ad supported viewing for anime and other things. They also offer a premium service starting at $7 a month which gets rid of the ads and has newer releases as well as HD. They are officially license...more
2009-05-26 Working on site
Man my html-fu is week with the force. That's ok, my php is strong. I think I'm going to update these entries from time to time, but there needs to be a way to quickly bring up recently updated entries and articles.
2009-05-26 News! Hayao Miyazaki in Berkeley July 25th
Heard this at Fanime and I see it's buzzing around the web, but not with a lot of details. He's going to accept an award for lifetime achievement. There is also supposed to be discussion between him and Roland Kelts. The feeling seems to be that this may be his last public appearance in the US. Apparently it will fulfill an old contract requirement with Disney.
2009-05-26 Fanime 2009
I am soo very tired. I guess that's a good thing. Fanime was a wonderful blur as usual with way too little time to rest. I love the panels. I use the Anime and Movie lists as watch lists after the show. I'm hoping that the Masquerade was uploaded to youtube so Bevy and I can watch it (she has trouble getting her wheelchair into that place). I got to sit with one of the artists from Gainax and...more
