Facelift and Update for 2012

Since we’re now into the year 2012, I’ve decided to upgrade the site to 3.3.1 and make a slight change to the layout and the header graphic.  Let me know what you think in the comments.

Everything Old is New Again

The current cap logo of the San Francisco Giants

[dropcap style=”font-size: 55px; color: cyan;”]E[/dropcap]ver since I was a little boy, I’ve followed the (mis)adventures of the San Francisco Giants.  My father took me to my first baseball game when I was in the first grade, about six months or so after my first San Francisco 49ers game.  When I was that young, I think …

Gunbuster title card

To start in on Gunbuster, I’d need to talk about Ken Lau, first.  Ken was someone I’d met while working at Acer America back in 1995; we both worked the grave shift in the technical support department, though he was in a smaller group that handled online requests, while I was in a larger group …

Remember Me

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone. I’m still pulling from the old topics so I can pick the ones that jump out at me.  Today’s is all about: What do you want to be remembered for? I’ve been told that I leave quite an impression on people.  Although I’m familiar with the metaphor, I’m pretty sure …

I’m sort of playing catch up on some of the post topics for the Post a Day 2011, so I get to pick and choose from some of the topics from before.  I’ve decided to go with the one about immortality, and whether I would want it and why. Immortality is one of those things …
