New Yoshitoshi Abe anime!

Seems like the same team as Lain.

Here’s a site with information in English.

Posted to my blog too. But with more commentary here.

Hot Damn. ADV just announced that it will be distributing Azumanga Daioh. I actually didn’t think they’d be the ones to do it, but I’m pretty psyched about it. Their web site also notes that they’ve acquired the rights for Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai. Also quite cool.

I think this is actually great news. I think they could do a kickass job with both shows. Especially given how well a job they did with Excel Saga. Things like vid notes would be very useful for both of them.

Some questions here. Why do people keep using old browsers that don’t work well? I’m speaking here of Netscape 4. How many years old is it now? And as long as people keep including code in their pages to let them work with it there won’t be much incentive to upgrade.

And I’m putting out a call for help again about my page working in IE6. I finally installed IE6 on my old 98 box that sits in the corner running DC++ and I finally saw some of the issues with it. The thing is. I have no idea how to fix them. As far as I can tell I’m not doing anything extremely fancy with CSS currently (at least not like in my last layout). So what’s going on? In some cases IE6 isn’t even rendering the letters on lines of posts fully (I’ll see the tops halves of letters. Yet, when I hilite everything it is readable just fine. This almost seems more like a display bug of some kind. Anyone? If you live in the Boston area I’ll buy you a drink if you can help me get this fixed (I’ll try and get a screen shot later (hmm, how does one do that on windows?))

Oh. My.

Don’t just listen to music, FEEL it! Audi-Oh (TM) is a revolution in stimulation technology for men or women. Sound is converted into infinitely variable pulses of pleasure. Audi-Oh* can use ambient sound, like the music in your favorite club, or direct audio input from devices such as portable CD players, MP3 players, your PC or home audio and video systems. You’ll find a million ways to use Audi-Oh! [D]esigned to resemble a pager, its compact form and high-tech appearance allows it to be worn discreetly in public. [Audi-Oh] [via BoingBoing]

So now, when you see someone with a walkman on, dancing down the street you can wonder if they have one of these.

I also resisted clicking the “tips and tricks” link on the Audi-Oh site. I was too afraid.

Good morning folks. I’ve got my coffee, had some cinnamon toast and am working my way through NetNewsWire. Lots of stuff I wanted to comment on yesterday that I’ll try to today. Everything from CSS to blogging. Ahh, I feel the (non-starborgs) coffee kicking in now.

Davezilla reports that You will be caffeinated. I must resist! I am not a number! I am a free man!

One of the blogs I read regularly is Heath Row’s Media Diet. He’s always got interesting things posted and I’ve used links from his blog more than a few times. Now, thanks to a bit of research and some suggestions by me, he’s got an RSS Feed. Welcome to the club! (Now I just need to dig those comics out of the bottom of my closet for you).

For those folks using Blogger Pro. If you can’t seem to get your RSS feed working, make sure you have titles turned on. It won’t put a post into the RSS feed if the post doesn’t have a title.

Earlier this week I mentioned that I was pretty sure I was DJing this weekend at a party. The Circle crew is always throwing interesting events and this should be no different. I go on around 11:30 and will be closing out the night, so plan on being there early. I’m hoping to spin stuff a bit harder than what I’ve been playing at The Analog Lounge, so bring your dancing shoes.
