RIAA to collect money for independant, non-RIAA artists

But the RIAA is taking it a step farther:
There has been an understandable public outcry against the RIAA’s attempts to more than triple the sound [...]

Mario in Fridge Magnets

Posted by admin on April 29th, 2007

This took me about 12 working hours, and consists of 1502 pieces. Future plans include other 8-bit subjects, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and some M.C. Escher-inspired works.
Anyone with this level of devotion to Mario deserves recognition. It’s a shame she’ll never be able to move it.

Survey: 80% of Manga/Internet Cafes Have “Residents”

Posted by admin on April 28th, 2007

The survey was conducted at 34 cafes in 10 different prefectures through interviews with 85 individual cafe customers.

I’ve been sick for the past few days, so I really don’t want to be online and posting. I have been watching though Futurama, since I have nothing better to do.

I think these are people who “met” on a cosplay-for-fun board on 2-channel. They met up for real in the middle of an Akihabara street on a Saturday to perform this wonderfully synchronized dance with blasted stereo music. [...]

Pretty neat that the best 3D on the GBA outweigh sub-par work on, say, the PSX. Not that you’d ever [...]
