@RobbyBevard:

Eagle is one of the best manga around that nobody knows about. Fantastic art, story, drama, mystery… and its all about politics. The first asian president fo the united states. Quite good.

Lost a liiiittle something since Obama became president and did the "first minority" thing for real, but still a fantastic series.

You have a link to the series? I'm trying to get into some new series and this sounds promising.

Since there seemed to be some interest in the interview, I took pictures from my book that I got at the exhibit.

The book itself is really neat: it has pictures of everything that was in the exhibit and has both japanese as well as english text. It also goes behind the scenes a bit and shows how the exhibit was set up and how the makers of the exhibit collaborated with Oda.

Nice. Thanks redon.

@Chicken:

Out of curiosity, what did you hate about those distributions?

It's a bitch to work with. I took a statistics course for my Business Admin. degree and holy shit did that stuff kick my ass. I've got a couple of excerpts from the formula sheets here somewhere:

And that was the easy stuff. Employing and actually understanding that stuff was a pain.

I really want Better Off Ted back.

Did anybody ever watch that except me and two other people? Anybody? Anybody?

Might I suggest imgur as a possible alternative. Quick, not as cluttered and it has always served me well in all other situations.

@Dervish:

Ah! This happened to me as well, and my fellow psychology students. "Medical student's disease" I believe it's called (although it applies to the field of psychology as well, considering it is basically a psychological reaction). You'll start seeing correlations between the symptoms that you're studying and your own psychological behavior–which isn't necessarily an incorrect perception, as many personality disorders and the like are simply exaggerations of normal human behavior. But it is a unsettling feeling, ha. XD

I hope I don't catch it XD

But seriously, I'm starting to study for my EMT training. Wanna give tips for dealing with patients? Both psychologically as well as physically?

I just stumbled upon an article and the corresponding study that the illegal "pirating" of anime actually increases DVD sales:

Do you think that this also holds for the sale of manga volumes? With the crack-down on onemanga and mangahelpers a couple of months it seems that the bigger publishers were on a warpath with scanlators. Might this change their stance?
