Worst M&Ms Ever

STAY AWAY from coconut-flavored M&Ms.

They taste HORRIBLE.

For real.

RIP Satoshi Kon

While I've seen a lot of anime, I only remember the names of two directors: Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon.

Paprika is one of my top-3 favorite anime films of all time and I was thrilled to see it in theaters.

I also enjoyed Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, and Millenium Actress. I'm starting to watch Paranoia Agent now.

It was always one of my dreams to be able to meet Satoshi Kon. He visited New York a few times too.

RIP :-(

Interesting Morning

Wow, this is the first time I've been hacked before.

Someone in Asia hacked into my iTunes account and bought over $100 worth of Hong Kong apps.

I immediately changed my password and reported it to Apple. I'm hopeful they'll give me a refund, if not I'll try to dispute it through PayPal.

BTW: The best passwords by far are phrases. These are almost impossible for a program or person to guess. For example, if you used the password:

I <3 theOtaku

It's not only super easy to remember, but you're pretty much guaranteed to be safe with it.

I Just Wanna Test Somethin'

Hm, did it work?

Kickboxing Decision

Well almost everyone told me option #1 was a no-brainer, so I went with that :)

Cheers,
Adam
