I didn’t upload any new drawings, but I made a number of structural changes to Treetop today. I want that site to look pretty, which I’m finding is a surprisingly difficult goal to accomplish…. My vacation with Saalon went smoothly, BTW. I have no particularly interesting stories to report. We walked around the surrounding cities for a bit, and ate out a lot, and watched Nausicaa and Spring and Chaos and a bit of Robotech. New poll. Here […]

So. Brennen has undergone tech burnout. He’s seen that “the shiny tech machine isn’t what I thought it was or wanted it to be,” as he put it. I feel that I understand where he’s coming from. I’ve been slowly coming to a similar realization, though neither as suddenly nor as strongly as Brennen has. I’ve been slowly realizing that computers are fine, but they’re awfully easy […]

I’m writing this on a battered legal pad, as I sit in a giant metal bird that’s flying majestically over Baltimore’s harbours. The hazy countryside slides along below, while above, the sky is an amazing azure jewel. I’m about 45 minutes away from Boston and what is sure to be an odd trip to see Saalon and Erin. Of course, it’s always been a joy to see them, and I expect that this trip […]

I just finished watching the last few episodes of Boogiepop Phantom. I’m extremely impressed. For me, the show reaches to the stratospheric heights that serial experiments lain attained, in a completely different way. I like lain more, for a variety of reasons, but Boogiepop did an incredible job.

To quote Sam at the end of The Lord of the Rings, “Well, I’m back.” Intersect re-hired me yesterday. I’ll be working as a long-term contractor at my current hourly rate (slightly less than what I was making before), which means that I’ll have to pay for my own benefits. I’ll only be working an average of four days per week; five days a week near deadlines, and three days a week the rest of the time. This […]

Dear Mr. Frazier,Why are there English words in some of the Anime songs and why are they often so weird?— Lee We long ago discovered that teaching the animation staff and writers only weird English would not only be much more interesting, but it would keep them from being able to easily leave us and go to work for a higher paying USA company. Thus, writers […]

I’ve posted a new drawing to Treetop. Nothing special. This afternoon, I went in for an interview with Zero &: One, an IT consulting firm that’s interested in hiring me as a tech writer. It went well; I think the place is pretty laid-back and safe. I’ll see how the situation at Intersect pans out before going any further with that. I then watched a tape of last night’s Andy Richter Controls The Universe, […]

I just finished watching Camelot on TCM. I liked it a lot, though it was a tad bit too 60’s in some places. Still, it was very good. I also learned that Saalon has just finished reading the complete Nausica
