Welcome, friends

"Courage and perseverance are important if one is to run anything resembling a news organization...the folks at theOtaku.com have demonstrated themselves to have ample quantities of both."

"A couple years of experience in the Otaku circle have taught me at least one good lesson--to trust Adam."

"Adam is actually a decently accomplished troll."

Happy VV Anniversary!

Today is the one year anniversary of Version Vibrant. I'll have a longer post a bit later.

W00 W00 Party!

Quick Question: One of the things on my plate, especially in this economy, is to make theO Premium more successful. What specifically do you think would make it more compelling?

I have three words for ya...

CRISPIN @#%@#!* GLOVER FREEMAN

UPDATE: MAJOR face-palm to myself. Sorry Crispin, it was really late...

Messing Around

I've been messing around with the headers and sub headers on theO. I think it's a bit tidier now, what do you think?

Yummy

I had the most crispy and delicious nachos today. They were homemade, too!

Afterward, I was so happy I ran outside in the rain, flying through the streets like a free bird.

I've NEVER had homemade nachos before, but man, were they yummy.

Have you ever had homemade nachos before?

A Magical Otaku Meeting

I've met a lot of members in real life over the years, probably a dozen+ now. Yesterday (or some earlier time in the past) morning though I got to to meet one of the original three Musketeers of otaku (which includes myself, Justin Blessing, and James of OB, since we all worked on the video game site that evolved into theOtaku)

Justin and I grabbed breakfast at a French bistro right before he had a plane back. He's the person responsible for theOtaku.com Version ReDefined, a lot of whose code we still use even today, years later. He also made the CD version of Art Of Otaku.

Anyway, Justin is creating his own company that specializes in software for lawyers, which looks like it has a bright future. Justin also has an adorable dog named TAZ.
