"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."
~ TCJ (The Comics Journal)
"A couple years of experience in the Otaku circle have taught me at least one good lesson--to trust Adam."
~ myO member
"Adam is actually a decently accomplished troll."
~ Allamorph
"The scale of Adam's cunning genius is truly frightening."
~ TimeChaser
I'm trying to get a list going. Name as many anime/manga characters as you can that are geeky/lovable guys. Someone like Michael Cera, for example.
So far someone recommended the guy from Love Hina. Need moar! Bonus points if you can link to a picture.
-- I went to buy Street Fighter 4 today but it was sold out everywhere (and in NYC everywhere means like 100x different places) @_@
-- I spend so much time dealing with nonsense it's amazing. For example the US Post Office about a month ago decided that in 10% of instances, my address doesn't exist. You can imagine how hard it is to constantly get calls asking why they got a 'return to sender' note
Another example: I told a company I work with that my company name is "Velegant Inc" and I said "space" in between the Velegant and the Inc. Instead of seeing the space as meaning spacebar, they thought it was the word "Space" - GROAN
-- I bought these nice glass-looking frames from Staples today and printed out some fan art from theO and put them around my apartment. Looks very nice!
-- In my ongoing effort to get organized I bought a filing cabinet and a book case. It arrives in a couple weeks but I am really excited to make my apartment nice and tidy
-- The MONSTER feature is probably going to launch on Version Vibrant's 1-year anniversary (March 3rd)
By far the hardest and most stressful part of being a Bossman is dealing with server issues.
When servers are happy you don't notice them but when there are problems it makes life miserable.
Our ad server pretty much exploded and I spent much of today figuring out an alternative solution. I hope this one works...
Also: Special thanks to SomeGuy for coming up with the idea of a Kame Hame Ha contest...All the compliments and blame go to him.
This is what happens when I get bored:
There's going to be a nice contest on theO soon but might cause some embarrassment (think the Haruhi dance contest).
I met one of my heroes today. You can see a quick pic of the encounter here (no photoshopping please). I'm not 100% thrilled with the pic the Borders girl took since I have an awkward smile and am not in the most flattering of poses, but oh well.
Now that I think of it, why is he wearing clothes fit for like Hawaii in the winter??
