sense :: sight // Hanaji – Opening Sequence to Maria Holic

Lately I’ve been absolutely in love with a couple of different anime, although I’ve only been able to see snippets of both of them because they haven’t been widely released in the United States yet: ToraDora!, a series with a plot that could very easily [...]

I am The Classy Geek.

Today my “Secret Project” is no longer a secret project! I’ve been working on this little side-project for months now, writing and writing and writing long-form articles and how-tos and segments and putting them all together offline and then building out the perfect design for it all, and finally, [...]

pick up a penny, won’t somebody tell me

sense :: taste // lemon pepper shrimp

Last week was food week over at Lifehacker, and I picked up a whole world of tips that hopefully will prove themselves useful now that I’m doing a lot more cooking. One article that I think is worth sharing but that I already pretty much know and love and [...]

my dearest veronica…

…you don’t know how absolutely, incredibly right you are. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I know I had said that I wouldn’t say much more about the shakeup in my personal life, but Veronica is too on point not to share this. Let’s take a [...]

i might need some time off

sense :: taste // quizno’s pickles
So there I was, sitting at the office, grumbling to myself about how tired I was and how much I want to go home, and then I decide to check my email. I see this (click to embiggen):

Which led to the predictable shock and awe. I had to leave – [...]

sense :: hearing // CSS – Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above (RAC Remix)

This isn’t the first day I’ve come here, opened up the editor, and thought desperately about what I should say. There’s a lot to cover, if I wanted to do one of those historical-type posts, going back to the [...]

the waiting is the hardest part

sense :: hearing // Yeasayer – 2080 (Black Dominoes Remix)
For anyone interested in hearing what I’m hearing:

I just moved mail hosting (and I think inadvertently some hosting functionality) over to Google (and subsequently got Google Apps) for a few of my domains. Let’s see how that goes. If there’s one thing that’s bothered me to [...]

i said please, please don’t insist

sense :: hearing // cooling fans and muted music
Noise canceling headphones were some of the best things I’ve purchased since I started werking here. The only trouble really is that the person sitting in the cube next to me demands my attention so often that it requires me to take them off frequently. She’s gone [...]

I love Blood + far more than I should. Even the English dub is good! I think a box set might have to be an Otakon purchase next year.
Aside from griping about the state of affairs these days, there are a number of things going well; I shouldn’t forget that, [...]

The above image is one of my favorites from the Top 15 Unintentionally Funny Comic Book Panels. I don’t know if I should be insulted or amused by it, but I choose the latter, so we’ll roll with that. In honor of the death of Captain America (it’s comic book death [...]

someone plug me in, i need to recharge

sense :: taste // fresh coffee
I’ve been a pretty busy boy, like I’ve been saying. The trouble is when you wake up on a morning like today and really really wish you could work from home (which I could, I just don’t like calling in to say it, feels like I’m copping out on the [...]

sense :: taste // veggie stir-fry

Isn’t that shiny? It’s Toyota’s Hybrid-X concept car – I’m kinda giddy about it, not because I think the actual car will be put into production in any way (it’s loaded with futuristic displays and curves that would never sell to the mass market) but because people are mumbling that [...]

Rap Cat has been the object of my hilarious affection as of late:

Left side fo’ life.
Also, I’m incredibly entertained by this birthday cake:

Click the cake above for a larger view. Even though it was made for firthy Horde. That’s right, more often than not I play Alliance. Okay, [...]

and now, the linking

You know, I rather like the way the blog looks with more images in it. I should make a point to take more photos, helps break up the text a bit. Sadly, I don’t have anything to really preface this post that wouldn’t just be a sad attempt to farm an image from somewhere out [...]
