Disney’s coming out with a Kiki’s Delivery Service DVD later this summer. Oh yeah. Finally, more Miyazaki on DVD (for those of you reading this entry many moons after it was written [Hi!], only two Miyazaki films have been released on DVD in America thus far: The Castle of Cagliostro and Princess Mononoke).

I’ve started posting particularly cool anime art on my cubicle wall at work. First up was this gun-toting girl by gunnar-chan. That reminded me of this panel from a fantastic comic strip by Merekat Creations (you can also check out the first panel in that series, or the first panel of the strip itself). I’ve got them both on the wall, and will add others as I come across them.

I suppose I should mention that “Second Empire” a.k.a. “Solar Conquest,” that turn-based strategy game that I was working on, seems to be pretty much dead. At least, Saalon and Brennen haven’t worked on the design at all, so I figure they’re not interested. Which is OK; I have other things to work on.

I’ve added a thingie to the front page which displays the first line of my diary, in a little box on the left. I think it’s pretty cool. Also, check out the new poll box widget thingie on this very page!

And I’ve created a new little online game: Colony. I’ll explain its workings in more detail later.

That’s all for now.
