This post is dedicated to Futurama, which just got a deal for 26 new episodes on Comedy Central. Sweet!
As you noticed, this blog’s got a spiffy new look, and I’ve been making small improvements (like the new Twitter feed). What spurred on these changes? I’m subscribed to the website "31 Days to Build a Better [...]

Sunday Links
A crackling fire, hot soup, Lord of the Rings, and you.
First, a Comic-con coming to Chicago in 2010? That ought to make up for the all the fun with Blago and Burris. Makes it being worth two hours away. Now if we can just bring Worldcon to Chicago, life would be ducky.
Bummer. Google Notebook is [...]

More Friday Fun with Vocaloids
Moving back into my regular schedule of posting, I got some more vocaloid video fun. It’s Anime Music Night at the Cafe!
Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru
So ever since I’ve gotten into Vocaloids, I’ve been getting more into Miku Hatsune. There’s also a proliferation of 3D vocaloid videos as well which are [...]

Saturday Links: Educational, Functional and Just Plain Fun!
I got three links on today’s menu for your reading pleasure.
The first one is a educational initiative. Long ago, a while back, I wrote about watching the 1st season of Electric Company. Well, it looks like they want to bring it back. The people behind the Sesame Street Workshop are applying for a $1.5 million [...]

Links of Interest: Keys to Publishing Contest & ARG News
I know the contest has already started, but I wanted to get this link up while the contest is still happening. There’s a contest that the people behind Adventures in SciFI Publishing and I Should Be Writing are collaborating on called “The Keys to Publishing”. You basically listen to their podcasts, starting with AISFP #56 [...]

What’s on LaShawn’s iPod? Well, nothing since I don’t have an iPod…but I do have a reasonable enough facsimile…
So I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. It’s been an unexpected benefit of working part-time. That’s not to say that I haven’t been listening to podcasts before–in my SAHM life, it’s mainly what I did to keep from turning on the TV to, say, Oprah or The View. Cleaning time was done [...]

Friday YouTube Fun with Vocaloids!
So now that things have settled, I’ve been catching up on Youtube–seeing what’s out there. I stumbled upon a very interesting phenomenon: vocaloids.
Vocaloid is a synthesizer program that creates vocal music. Simply put, it is a synthesizer for the human voice. You can program it to sing, talk, do anything vocally. In Japan, there’s a [...]

After many years of waiting, the Quest is in sight (maybe)
http://www.reuters.com/article/filmNews/idUSN0932864920080709
I only pray that it’s animated. But still–exciting news nonetheless. Hmm…so giving stuff out for free can have some good in it after all…

And what did YOU do this weekend? Played an ARG, of course!
Here it is, Wednesday. And I am not doing any work on Willow. Why?
Because I can’t stop reading about this stupid alternate reality game.
Last weekend, I watched “Artificial Intelligence: AI” for the first time. It was okay. A little creepy in parts. I totally understand why people say it should’ve ended 20 minutes sooner; but [...]

Saturday Fun: Inanimate Alice
“My name is Alice. I am eight years old.”
And thus begins “Inanimate Alice“, an interactive story/game that I found through the Jay is Games website. Alice tells her story through moving snapshots, journaled words and haunting music. We never see Alice, but we know that she has lived all over the world, her parents may [...]
