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."

"The scale of Adam's cunning genius is truly frightening."

My Panel

Fallenangel8 actually videotaped my NYAF panel and surprised me last night by saying she put it on youtube. You can view it by clicking the play buttons below. (Title: "How To Get Famous Online.")

Of course all premium members who've read my ARTPRENEURSHIP book will recognize everything I say here.

Friday Notes

I found a coupon online to let me order the Xbox 360 at $250--this was my "sweet spot" price point. It arrives in a week or so and I am pleased that so many 360 games are so inexpensive--often for only $20-30(!)

Thinking to the last year, only a few games captured my attention long enough to finish. I finished a lot of games like 70+% but never bothered to finish completely. The ones I did finish were:

(1) Metroid Prime 3
(2) Resident Evil 4 Wii
(3) Advance Wars DS 2
(4) Final Fantasy XII DS

That's it...though MP3 and RE4 were both spectacularly good in my opinion. I need more games like them...

Quick Notes

- Of course I know Beth's birthday, but I usually post really late at night, so that's why the mix up.

- Everyone already noticed this, but you can now post multiple youtube videos on your WORLDS.

- I'm a little disappointed only 8 people commented on my Rie interview. That's less than comment on many of my personal blog posts about nothing.

- theOtaku is going to have not one but TWO new sites launching over the next few months.

- If you take a shower, hot or cold, before going to sleep, you sleep faster. The reason is because sleep comes easiest when your body temperature is cooling and taking a shower promotes that. I love showers, I'm one of those people who takes like an hour in one.

Happy Birthday Beth

Today was Beth's birthday, be sure to run over and wish her a happy birthday. K?

Celebrity Crush

I feel so wrecked, so abused, by the mass-photoshopping of me in the Watercooler...

Here's a teaser from the interview with Rie Tanaka I had: Her celebrity crushes include Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Al Pacino, and Morgan Freeman

Huh???? Hugh Grant I could see, Tom Cruise, OK let that slide, but Al Pacino and Morgan Freeman are like 1000 years old...
