I was looking at the visitor statistics for this site in Awstats yesterday when I noticed this… Note: August 2006 results taken on 20/08/2006. As you can see from the above rudimentary table that took all of 10 seconds to create in Microsoft Excel, Firefox-ko is now kicking IE’s sorry butt! At least amongst anime fans, whom [...]
Once again, Zero no Tsukaima has forced me to break my no episodic blogging rule. Here are some screenshots dammit! Isn’t that sweet? ^_^

We interrupt our regular scheduled programming (okay I lie, there’s no such thing) to bring you yet another public service announcement from Ramblings of DarkMirage: DarkMirage and Dark Mirage Spot the difference. You know who you are! And no, it’s not just one of you out there. :| …You know, I get the feeling that people will start mistyping my nick [...]
Cool song from Weird Al Yankovic’s MySpace page. Go listen to it there if it’s too slow here. You can download a higher quality version of the song from http://www.dontdownloadthissong.com Now excuse me while I go rob a liquor store while selling crack and running school kids down with a car. :P Anyway, before you go wtf over [...]
I missed it the first time it was released and regreted my decision, but luckily for me (and unfortunately for my wallet), Alter has recently re-released its 1/8 Meg from Bakuretsu Tenshi in all her yellow-pantsu glory. There’s just something about girls with big… guns. But remember kids, don’t ever try to fire an anti-material rifle [...]
If you follow any tech blog you would no doubt have heard of the term “The Long Tail” before. It’s not an entirely new concept but it’s gaining more and more media coverage in recent years due to the success that first-generation “long tailers” such as Amazon and Google are enjoying.

Yes in Japan, even eroge characters get their birthdays celebrated! :3 According to Moon Phase, an announcement for a new Kimi ga Nozomu Eien anime was made during the event. アージュ、特報 「君が望む永遠 “遙ルート”」 アニメ化決定!! 今日のイベントでも正式発表された模様。まだ 「君望」 で引っ張りますか。「あゆまゆ劇場」 のネット配信アニメは、てっきり 「マブラヴ」 アニメ化への布石かと思ってたんだけど、こっちと連動した企画だったようで。 From Age: New “Kimi ga [...]
Yes, defence. It’s British spelling, okay? Deal with it. It seems like Bandai has been getting a lot of, to misuse tj han’s term, “negative energy” recently for the whole Solid State Society fiasco. Some people see my latest rant on the Long Tail phenomenon as an indirect attack on Bandai. The truth is, as hypocrite as [...]
