Welcome to my recently remodeled Eclectic World! This site serves as my central "hub" for all my various homes on the internet, as well as being home to my book, movie, and video game collections. Recent Blog PostsPosted: April 30, 2013 12:01:30 AM Say "I Love You" is a 13 episode anime series from ZEXECS that aired in Japan in 2012. Sentai licensed it here in the US and has the episodes available to watch via streaming on Hulu and Crunchyroll.

Posted: April 11, 2013 11:50:11 PM Years ago, I watched anime via fansubs of unlicensed stuff, so I tended to keep up with what was coming out each season. As time passed and I had more going on in my life, a lot of that fell by the wayside and my watching of new anime series became more sporadic. That's one reason most of my reviews ... Posted: April 5, 2013 08:26:05 PM Full Moon o Sagashite Anime Via Hulu Long time readers may remember that back in 2006 when it was announced that the Full Moon o Sagashite anime series was licensed, I was just a bit happy, despite the long release schedule. In particular, with the awesome manga release they did, I was pretty hopeful that Full Moon's anime would get ...

Posted: May 19, 2013 12:42:19 PM Adobe's Creative Cloud - Some Good, But Mostly Not I imagine most of you have heard of Adobe's launch last year of the new "Creative Cloud" (CC) versions of the programs within its Creative Suite (CS) line. When it first came out, I wasn't particularly concerned. I figured it was aimed at specific markets, like big business that might ... Posted: May 15, 2013 08:00:15 PM Checking Out Feedly With Reader's Pending Demise I love Google Reader, especially combined with iGoogle, as it allowed me to easily track new posts on the various blogs of interest to me in a nice compact format that remembers what I've read or not read. If the title is interesting, I can click it to open in a new window and all good. And the ... Posted: May 10, 2013 09:16:10 PM Back when I was first learning web design, you generally sliced up large images into multiple files because it was believed it resulted in a faster loading time. These days the rule is just the opposite - fewer images, JavaScript files, and CSS files can improve loading performance quite a bit. With ... Posted: May 1, 2013 05:29:01 PM IE 9 Bug with Ordered Lists and Tabs/Hidden Divs There are times when I envy web app developers who don't have to deal with much on the UI end because they have other people in their departments/organizations that deal with it. Alas, in our small shop, we code the apps and we have to do all the UI stuff, with most of the CSS/layout stuff falling ... Posted: April 16, 2013 07:09:16 PM In one of our applications, we have a couple of "core views", i.e. view stuff that is used in a couple different places, so we have it in one tidy CFM for easier maintenance. For most of them, the content coming in is the same or similar in nature, however we have one where they are not quite the same. ... Posted: April 29, 2013 10:29:29 PM Two more done, nice progress on a few, bleh on a few others, one canceled, and one new one added I'd prefer to have more updates on the whole, but at least moved on a few things... Get the struts on the car fixed - just under half the money for these saved :-) Get my overdue well woman exam - ... Posted: April 1, 2013 11:47:01 PM Two done, of course :-D Yay!!!!

Posted: March 14, 2013 12:01:14 AM Mish Mash: Valentine's Day, Anime & Hulu, Panera Bread, Writing Meetings, Gardening, and Hobbies Nearly a month later I'm finally getting back to that list of topics I was going to finish writing about back in February. Suffice to say almost everything in this post is going to be about last month. So let's see, first let's talk about Valentine's Day. Since it fell in the middle of the week, we ... Posted: March 13, 2013 06:10:13 PM By nature, the bulk of my writing is done in third-person, from an omniscient perspective. It's how I like to write and what I generally enjoy reading. But as a writer, you often hear lots of "rules" about writing, one of which is stick to one POV per scene. I.E. third-person writing must ...
