So I’m going to try to avoid too much navel gazing in the post.
But recently there have been at least a couple posts about the nature of micro-blogging and its place in the Otakusphere.
What I found interesting about both Hige’s and Michael’s posts is specifically the idea of identity, both the identity of the writer [...]
You can blame Impz, Martin, Bateszi, Hige, Lythka, Author and Michael for this post.
Really, I know a collective groan goes up anytime someone starts talking about “the community”. But after reading Impz’s brief history of the Otakusphere (that’s still my word for the anime blogosphere), Kabitizin’s interviews and Os’s new blogging [...]
Yeah, for those of you who don’t know, I’m a radical Civil Libertarian. And when I say radical I mean “no closed door meetings, destroy the FCC, try the prisoners in Gitmo and let the Nazi’s march” type of radical Civil Libertarian.
So when I read usagijen’s post on Library Wars, I just about got up [...]
So recently I was checking through my backlog of stuff and stumbled across an old Otakusphere column that I wrote back in February. Mostly because I wanted to find out what had happened to Only the Bitch Knows.
What I found was a fairly long post about how she’d had her identity stolen. Honestly it was [...]
If there’s one thing I like about living this close to the “South” it’s fried chicken. Oh yeah, nothing beats stopping into the local grocery store and seeing boxes of the stuff laid out for me like pre-packaged heart attacks. Which is probably why I found Hinano’s post on buying merchandise interesting because I own [...]
So when I came back from my hiatus, I had a whole bunch of hits coming in from some page called the ANIME BLOG AWARDS. I thought, “Huh?” I mean, the last time I’d heard about Web Page Awards was back in the mid to late 90s when every Joe, Bob and Martha with an [...]
Recently, I reached my 100th post, and I got to thinking that the nature of blogging seems to be to keep putting new stuff out there, but it’s pretty rare that we go back and look at the older stuff that people have done. Mostly because there’s usually a huge backlog and because usually we’ve [...]
Vote Anime! Vote now! Anime Academy is looking for your vote as the only anime candidate running in this election season. The choice is yours. Do you want four more years of moe hate? Are the “mecha-porn” haters getting to be too much. Well Anime Academy is a true bridge builder. Just read his post, [...]
Okay all I have to say is that I didn’t start the fire. It’s always burning since the worlds been turning. But anyways, enough of the cheesy music references, because this is going to be the quick and dirty listing of the interesting posts I’ve run across during the last few days.
The posting of a [...]
So I’m back with another roundup on my thoughts on some of the big posts I’ve come across. Or at least posts that I thought were important. Well… maybe important is to big of a word. Perhaps, interesting?
Anyways, lets get on with it.
To be fair, I’ve had far away and no where bookmarked for a [...]
