Hello my OB!
It's been a long time, but here are some quick notes:
-- I loved The Office tonight. It's been on a roll lately.
-- I rented the movie Rachel Getting Married but haven't seen it yet.
-- After a long injury I'm back into doing martial arts. I'm taking Muay Thai. If I can wake up for the morning sessions, there are only a few students there, which means lots of personal instructor time.
-- Finances are tough right now. Part of the problem is that both this site and my game eat up a lot of money. I have to constantly evaluate things on a monthly basis.
-- I'm really, really happy that the NYAF contest has received so many great entries in such a short period of time.
-- It doesn't seem like anything I do to the site really has an effect on traffic. If you look at the last 10 features I added, nothing has mattered. This makes me sad :( Challenges has led to an increase in overall submissions, though.
-- In a grand experiment I made a facebook account for theOtaku under the name "Spikey Otaku." Already there are over 100+ friends.
-- Phoenix Heart interviewed me for his school about my 'career' - the best advice I could ever give to ANYONE career-wise is to start young. My first web venture was when I was 15-16 years old. It's been 10 years and while I'm still considered young, I have a lot of connections and battle-hardened experience that'll hopefully help improve my odds.
