If there was a theOtaku.com panel at a large anime convention, what would your ideal topics in it be?

Gail asks what time we should host our AX meet-up...I have no idea, personally.

We're probably going to do one session at Manga Fighter's booth. I'm excited.

Is this too crazy of an idea: Let people download Artpreneurship for free if they promise to read it and, if they liked it, to pay whatever they felt it was worth...

I'm considering it :).

Something's Suspicious
...in the land of otaku. What's this new FANDOM category on the main page? When did Permalink get added? What could Adam be up to?

Living
This is a fun exercise:

If you had to live in a different city every month for an entire year, what would your top 12 cities be?

I think for me, it would be something like (in no order): Hawaii, Thailand, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney (maybe Melbourne to chill with James), Rio, South Africa, Vancouver, Paris, Korea...

Haruhi Dance Challenge
I'd love to see otakuites represent in this summer challenge.

If you didn't notice, I've much improved our news main page. There's more room for text and the image is to the right instead of left.

I have a lot of good ideas for our main page, I think it'll be a big driver for the future.

Nyah Nyah Nyah
I can do this now and you can't :-).

Don't cry...a few more days and you can do it too.

(By default fan manga favorites are sorted by when each fan manga was last updated, so the newly updated ones are on top.)

Sigh, I live in an apartment in a relatively new building, on a high floor. It's well-maintained and nowhere near any restaurants.

Yet...I'm starting to see signs of cockroaches. Small brownish stains on the cabinets, a sour smell, and I noticed a small bug the other day that could have been a baby roach.

No matter where I run, they always seem to find me...

Five Artpreneurship buyers responded to a survey I emailed today. Here are the results, transparent:

Exceeded my expectations: 5/5

Difficulty: 2 said it was moderate, 1 said it was easy, 2 said it was very easy

Would recommend strongly: 5/5

Rating on a scale of 1-10: 8, 9, 9, 9.5, 10

Doing well, doing well...

The only reason I don't give Artpreneurship away free, to be honest, is that I don't think people would actually read it in that case and then I can't raise money for charity with it, which was one of my goals for writing.

I do think the book might be priced too high though now. Hm...

Aaron Ecker
Rich from AnimeVegas left me a voicemail today; need to return his call.

Apparently Aaron Ecker will now be serving time in jail. The funniest part of it all: His defense was insanity.

The guy was hardly insane; talked to him for quite a while. Evil yes, but insane, no.

The sentencing didn't have to do with AnimeFF, but for his other fraud crimes. Have fun Aaron! I'll be sure to ship you a PS3 and a Wii in jail, I promise it'll be waiting for you ;-).
