Otakuthon 2009: Friday

Big day tomorrow. Opening ceremony at 11am; webcomic panel at 5pm; exhibition until 9pm. There will be two screenings of hentai and one of yaoi at night. I'll be too tired to assist, but enjoy! :p

Otakuthon 2009

I should have mentionned this earlier, but I will be a guest at Otakuthon 2009 next weekend.

• Friday, July 31, 2009
  6:00 pm - 5:00 am (exhibition hall closes at 9pm)
  
• Saturday, August 1, 2009
  10:00 am - 5:00 am (exhibition hall closes at 9pm)
  
• Sunday, August 2, 2009
  10:00 am - 6:00 pm

If it's like last year, there will be anime screenings for most of the night. I dunno what I'll do after the exhibition hours. I'd like to stay for the night but I'll probably be too tired. In any case, bring your Nintendo DS!

I only have the same old stuff to sell, but I'll be doing 10$ commissions.

Gatesgate

It's interesting how Libertarians are suddenly silent when it comes to the matter of Gates' arrest in Cambridge. And by interesting I mean, if it's a white guy getting arrested, we hear, "GET OF MY PROPERTUH, B'FORE AH USE MAH 2nd AMENDMINT!" But if it's an old black guy getting arresting on his own property for being sassy it's, "OBEY MAH AUTHORITUH!!!"

And I agree with Obama, that cop was at minimum stupid.

I said I was gonna post something interesting, like 2 weeks ago... XD I'll try to get to it today.

Sister Wulfia Focka: July update

I forgot to announce the June update last month. That was 10 new pages then and 10 new pages now. That's almost the end for this Sister Wulfia Focka storyline. Next month, an epilogue and some special guests!

Nice burn, Sotomayor

I'm not paying too much attention to the confirmation hearings of Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, because this should be a non-story but for Republicans hyperventilating about Mexicans Atheist Muslim Libruls invadin' 'Murica. So Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is twisting his panties in a knot like a Catholic school girl over comments Sotomayor made about her latina heritage. Sessions, someone who once made the apology of the KKK, thinks that's racist. That's rich... So Sessions quoted Judge Miriam Cedarbaum, who “believes that judges must transcend their personal sympathies and prejudices.” And Sessions continued:

“So I would just say to you, I believe in Judge Cedarbaum’s formulation,”

That's when Sotomayor pulled a move worthy of Woody Allen's Annie Hall and said:

“My friend Judge Cedarbaum is here. We are good friends, and I believe that we both approach judging in the same way, which is looking at the facts of each individual case and applying the law to those facts.”

For those who've never seen Annie Hall, this is the scene I'm talking about.

Who's never dreamed of doing that?

See you in hell, Stephen Harper

So I guess when I'm going to hell, I'll be joined by conservative Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

At the funeral of former governor-general Roméo Leblanc, Stephen Harper (a protestant) was given a communion wafer. But instead of eating it, as the Catholic church requires, he put it in his pocket. Harper denies the accusations, but the video tells another story.

This remind me of the story of the student who received death threats for kidnapping a communion wafer in the States.

We can only assume Stephen Harper kept what he perceives as a "Death Cookie", so he and his family can torture the body of Christ in the comfort of his home. Hey, Harper once said climate change was a socialist conspiracy, so who knows...

The Forum is Dead

I think probably one person noticed (even I forgot about it), but the Miss Dynamite forum has been closed and is dead for good. There was already very little activity when I transfered it to Slipshine, now the only new members were spambots. I think the blog killed the forum, so I don't think it's a loss, just a change. Who still goes to forums these days anyway?

Netbook advice

Anyone uses a netbook?

They seem like a good and cheap alternative to a laptop if you only need to go online.

Are they good to watch movies online? (pr0n!)
Are they exclusively WiFi or do they have an ethernet socket?
If your OS fucks up, how do you reinstall XP? USB key?
