Otakon 2009

Eric Mesa | July 26, 2009

For the first time since moving here, I found out about Otakon ahead of time. Unfortunately, the economics didn’t work out we didn’t buy tickets. But I did go to hang out outside Otakon on Saturday to get some photos. Lessons learned:

Remember what you learned in Hawaii and don’t be afraid to [...]

Eric Mesa | April 18, 2008

Someone decided to represent all of the Linux Distributions as Anime girls.  What do you think?  Does it represent the attitude of your favorite distro?

Hello Kitty Hell!

Eric Mesa | April 13, 2008

Recently, a coworker of mine showed me the website Hello Kitty Hell.  This is a website created by someone who’s wife sells Hello Kitty items.  If there is a young girl or, occasionally, woman in your life who is into the Hello Kitty Phenomenon, you doubtless know how much crap there is that can be [...]

Bizzarre Stats

Eric Mesa | April 22, 2007

I don’t know wtf is going on with Google, but according to my web stats, 66 of you came here looking for info on anime conventions (this month alone). I’ve never talked much about them except to put up a picture of someone from an anime convention. It was this one or two:

Eric Mesa | August 6, 2006

Anime Conventions are known for the fans cosplaying and coming up with elaborate costumes which can sometimes take months to develop. I missed Otakon (Baltimore Anime Convention) for [...]

when direct mailing goes wrong (though not horribly wrong)

Eric Mesa | June 22, 2005

I used to to love Anime. I don’t hate it now, but I don’t have as much zeal for it as I used to. Two things happened. First of all, anime is very expensive. Most DVDs have four episodes and cost $24 dollars. Usually it takes 6 DVDs to complete [...]
