Tokyo Figure Show ReportI've not seen anything like this at all for anime figures in the US, even at anime conventions. I imagine it would cost a lot of money for the Japanese companies to come over to display at one of the big anime conventions here (AnimeExpo or Otakon),...
Tokyo Figure Show ReportI wish I could go!!! Maybe you can convince some of the companies to bring a figure show like this to the US?
Congratulations on getting a Mirai figma to come out, which of course I will order.
Figure CommunityMaybe for me it's a little bit of nostalgia, but I am really happy that Figure.fm has made a return. A lot of the figure blogs that I liked to follow sprung out of the Figure.fm community. I'm hoping the same thing happens with version two.
Future of dannychoo.comLooking forward to the reorganization. I think having Otaku.fm and Figure.fm will keep things more organized and make it easier to see things you're interested in at the moment. I liked the first incarnations of Otaku.fm and Figure.fm, so look forwar...
A Week in Tokyo 40Not a fan of walnuts either. Tastes like brains is a nicer way of saying it. ^^ The worst is when a perfectly good brownie is ruined by bits of brains.
D5000Four-Thirds is awesome. Having a standard is nice, that way if one of the bodies from another 4:3 company tempts you, you don't have to switch lenses. So far though, the others haven't given me much reason to look outside of Olympus. I suspect that t...
D5000Same here, but use an ancient Evolt 500. Their 35mm macro is the best bargain in macro photography. Super optics. Looking to get the 620 this summer, since I've shot over 12,000 pictures with the E500. Occasionally tempted by Canon gear. Nikon, never...
Transformers Revenge JapanDefinitely on the watch list. Wanted to see it as soon as the first one ended. Glad to hear that the actual transformers get to rock from the get go in this one, I mean we're watching it for cool robot action right?
Hey, don't you find that when you...
Canon ElectronicsIt depends on the task, but I wouldn't mind this at all. While in school, all of my jobs were standing only. You'd get written up for sitting. It was a retail, customer oriented store. They wanted people to immediately help customers rather than sit...
A Day in Tokyo 4My car is busted and I'm too busy with work to get it fixed. At least I get to work from home.
Most cars in the US have some sort of alarm, at least that's my impression. Get a break in car insurance if you have it. They've gotten better about goin...
Working at Amazon and MicrosoftGreat article. Being trapped in a comfort zone is difficult to recognize, but yes always take time to think about what else you can do.
Tokyo CGM NightMy social skills are very poor. Well, I know what to do, but I have social phobias. It can take me fifteen minutes to psych myself up to call my best friend! So networking is something I haven't done.
Sony Vaio P Boot TimeIt takes about 3 minutes for my VAIO to finish loading all the background stuff and be usable with XP. It used to be very quick, like less than a minute, but it's three years old now and could probably use some cleaning up to get it to run more effic...
Afro SamuraiOh and to answer the poll. I host our weekly Dungeons and Dragons game at my apartment. We crowd around my dining room table and have a good time. I don't cook food for anyone though...just some snacks.
Unity YunoLife in Japan for the motivational walks posts. To have someone living their dream trying to motivate the rest of us to find/follow our own is priceless.
Japanese Men CookI cook for myself at least three times a week. Favorite things to make are things with a white wine based sauce. They're easy and tasty.
