May 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Monday said the Obama administration was suspending investments in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, a government employee pension fund, to help the nation keep paying its bills now that a temporary suspension of the cap on the government's debt has expired. In a letter to leaders of Congress, Lew said the department also would redeem a portion of the investments held by the fund. The suspension goes through Aug. 2 and the Treasury Department expects the move will free up $19 billion in headroom under the debt limit, a separate fact sheet said. Investments in another fund, the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, will also be suspended, but both funds must be made whole once the debt limit is increased, Lew's letter to Congress said. It said that federal retirees and employees would be unaffected by the move. The step...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is changing his team's name to the Hornets, said a person familiar with the situation.

The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the name change has not been publicly announced. NBA deputy commissioner and COO Adam Silver previously said it would take "about 18 months" for the Bobcats to change their name. That means Charlotte could once again become the Hornets by the 2014-15 season. Read More... More on NBA ...

(Two of those, Braintree and Shopify, are offering discounts to former Google Checkout customers.) G...

If you like using online tools to hunt and gather your food, take note: Seamless and GrubHub, two of the better-known players in the mobile food-delivery business, announced today that they will be merging their services. GrubHub, which is privately owned, features the most restaurants of the two services, claiming 20,000 eateries in their online ordering network, compared to Seamless' 12,000. Seamless users, then, are going to get the better end of the deal right away, with the inclusion of GrubHub's additional dining options. GrubHub users should benefit from Seamless overall service, which is generally held in higher regard. The consolidation might help both vendors overall, with one less mobile ordering service for restaurant owners to have to work with to get customer orders coming in. This is a big bite of business: in 20...

In the Gold Rush to accumulate and put to use Big Data, we may actually be making it harder to actually glean insights from that data. Yet the prospect of data solving all of our problems is so tempting that even the brightest minds of our generation seem confused. Take, for example, Irving Wladawsky-Berger, a strategic advisor to Citigroup and former IBM executive. Wladawsky-Berger is exceptionally bright, someone whose insights into open source helped me a great deal while he was still at IBM. But writing in The Wall Street Journal ("Spotting Black Swans with Data Science"), he "[gets] the Black Swan idea backwards," as Nassim Taleb, professor at New York University’s Polytechnic ...

Startups are fast-paced, sometimes hectic places to work. In the early days, everyone wears multiple hats and is expected to lend a hand where needed, leading to close bonds between team members. But when a startup stars to become successful - and outgrows its all-hands-on-deck philosophy - the founder's job is to make sure that the company can properly scale to cope with the new reality. It's a good problem to have, of course, but that doesn't mean it's easy. So we asked six successful founders from the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) to share some of their growing pains and errors - and their advice for others in the same (lucky) boat. 1. Implement A Consistent Recruiting Culture ...

Yahoo has officially announced the all-cash acquisition of blogging site Tumblr, picking up the six-year-old company for a cool $1.1 billion. The move, which was telegraphed by the major tech sources over the weekend, comes as no real surprise, and ReadWrite's Owen Thomas already has insights on the potential directions for the deal. But details are coming out this morning on what -initially - Yahoo has planned. (See also Buying Tumblr Will Leave Yahoo With The Same Old Identity Crisis.) Rather interestingly, Yahoo will be moving its official blog to Tumblr. And in the very first blog post, right out of the gate, Yahoo expl...

Meet Jolla, the smartphone that almost never came to be. When Nokia decided to jump off its burning platform a few years ago and go with Windows Phone, there were no people more disappointed with the decision than the hundreds of engineers that had been working on the company’s own mobile operating system, MeeGo. These were developers that had put in countless hours to make MeeGo the platform of the future and the initial results were ...

DavidGilbert99 writes "LulzSec's star burnt brightly in the short period it was active, but things quickly turned sour when its core members began getting arrested. Last week three of the six core members were sentenced in the UK, but this only served to highlight the fact that one member of the group, known as Avunit, has been able to remain unidentified despite the FBI having turned the group's leader Sabu into an informant. Who is Avunit? And does he hold the purse strings of the group's Bitcoin wallet which could have up to $180,000 in it?" As usual, be warned of the horrendous autoplaying video ads surrounding good content at the primary link. ...

richlv writes "Latvian police recently raided the home of a history teacher and confiscated his computer. The crime? Scanning a history book and making it available on his website covering various topics on history. The raid was based on a complaint from the publisher (Google Translate to English), which has a near-monopoly on educational materials in Latvia, often linked with shady connections in the Ministry of Education." ...

hypnosec writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has started accepting donations in the form of Bitcoins again after a two year hiatus, stating that the legal uncertainty hovering over the digital currency has all but disappeared. On their blog the EFF noted that a report from U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), in addition to their own findings, 'have confirmed that, as a user of Bitcoin or any virtual currency, EFF itself is likely not subject to regulation.'" ...

Cbs228 writes "During last week's Google I/O conference, the company announced a replacement for its aging Talk instant messenger: Google Hangouts. Hangouts, which is only available for Android, iOS, and Chrome, offers closer integration with Google+. Unfortunately, the new product drops support for the XMPP instant messaging protocol, which has been an integral part of Talk for over ten years. XMPP delivers instant messages to desktop clients, like Pidgin, and enables communication between users on different instant messaging networks. Hangouts users attempting to communicate with contacts on non-Google servers, such as jabber.org, have found that all communications have been suddenly and inexplicably severed. A Google account is now required to communicate with Hangouts users. Google Hangouts joins the ranks of an already-crowded ecosystem of closed, incompatible chat products like Skype." Interesting, because Google Wave was based on XMPP and Google was integral to the creation of t...

rudy_wayne writes with news that the Prenda lawyers recently sanctioned by a federal judge are starting to face consequences. From the article: "On Friday, Paul Hansmeier, a Minnesota attorney who has been pointed to as one of the masterminds of the Prenda copyright-trolling scheme, filed an emergency motion to stay the $81,000 sanctions order while he and his colleagues could mount an appeal. Today the appeals court flatly denied his motion. Two appellate judges signed this order, and it gives Hansmeier the option to make a plea for delay with the district court judge. That would be U.S. District Judge Otis Wright, the judge who sanctioned Hansmeier in the first place. Hansmeier is also getting kicked off a case he was working on that was totally unrelated to Prenda's scheme of making copyright accusations over alleged pornography downloads. On Friday, the 9th Circuit Commissioner ordered Hansmeier, in no uncertain terms, to withdraw a the case involving Groupon since he has been refe...

Nerval's Lobster writes "Location is everything when choosing the site of a data center. Firms such as Microsoft and Google and Facebook spend a lot of time looking into the costs of land, power, regulation and taxes before placing their respective data centers in a particular place. Sometimes, that local tax bill comes into play in a big way. Just ask the National Security Agency which learned it faces a multimillion-dollar annual state tax on the power consumed by its new data center in Camp Williams, south of Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake Tribune obtained a series of email exchanges between the feds and the state, with the NSA protesting a $2.4 million tax on its annual power expenditure, pegged at about $40 million. Harvey Davis, director of installations and logistics for the NSA, sent a letter (subsequently quoted by the newspaper) to state officials that made the logistics argument: 'Long-term stability in the utility rates was a major factor in Utah being selected as our site f...

ananyo writes "Researchers have discovered that animal mucus — ' whether from humans, fish or corals' — is loaded with bacteria-killing viruses called phages. These protect their hosts from infection by destroying incoming bacteria. In return, the phages are exposed to a steady torrent of microbes in which to reproduce. Mucus mainly consists of huge molecular complexes called mucins, which are made up of thousands of glycan sugars attached to a central protein backbone. The team showed that phages stick to these sugars, reducing the number of bacteria that can attach to mucus by more than 10,000 times." ...

colinneagle writes "Scripps News reporters discovered 170,000 records online of customers of Lifeline, a government program offering affordable phone service for low-income citizens, that contained everything needed for identity theft . Last year, the FCC 'tightened' the rules for the program by requiring Lifeline phone carriers to document applicants' eligibility, which led to collecting more sensitive information from citizens. A Scripps News investigative team claims it 'Googled' the phone companies TerraCom Inc. and YourTel America Inc. to discover all of the files. A Scripps reporter asked for an on-camera interview with the COO of TerraCom and YourTel after explaining the files were freely available online. That did not happen, but shortly thereafter the customer records disappeared from the internet. Then, the blame-the-messenger hacker accusations and mudslinging began. Although the Scripps reporters videotaped the process showing how they found the documents, attorney Jonathon...

First time accepted submitter ectoman writes "A third party steps into a financial transaction to make sure all parties exchange funds at the same time and as expected. Can you patent this process? What if the third party is a computer? Rob Tiller, vice president and general counsel for Red Hat, details a recent court ruling on this very matter—one that has critical implications for the future of software patents, and one that divided the judges involved. Tiller writes that: 'The judges mostly agreed that the idea of managing settlement risk with a third party was abstract such that by itself it could not be patented. They differed, though, on whether using a general purpose computer for managing settlement risk meant that the patents avoided invalidity based on abstraction.' Interestingly, some judges suggested that a computer becomes a 'new machine' every time it loads different software." ...

Imagine game designer Steve Jackson and a bunch of friends building Lego trains and tracks and scenery, including buildings and other props. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? The group calls itself the Texas Brick Railroad. A lot of members have children, so their meetings tend to be family affairs. Plus, as they're doing here, they often display their train sets at public events where -- yes -- their trains attract children like crazy. This video shows off both current Lego trains and some of the classic, no-longer-sold Lego trains that members have collected over the years, including the highly-prized monorails. There's a transcript, but face it: This is basically visual material, and worth checking out on a computer or handheld that runs Flash if your normal one doesn't. (We've requested an upgrade from Flash-only video, but don't hold your breath. It might be a good while before we get it.) ...

MavenSay, a social recommendation app, just got a surge of unplanned downloads coming from Indonesia, and its founders are moving quickly to include Southeast Asia in its expansion plans, as a result. The company’s Toronto-based co-founder, Jesse Dallal, said the two-month old app got 100,000 downloads over the past fortnight. It has a total of 130,000 downloads so far, and the sudden surge was tracked back to a power user based in Indonesia. They’re not sure which one it is, but the source of traffic points to the country, he said. The way the app works is similar to Pinterest, in that users follow other users’ recommendations. These could cover places they’ve eaten at or music they’re listening to, for ex...

Real-time parking startup ParkMe wants to help find you parking -- in real-time. The company, which originally started out on the Web, has been making a big push behind mobile apps, which is really smart, because most times when you're looking for parking, you're not on a PC, but you have a smartphone nearby. And it just launched on Android....

HasOffers, a startup that helps mobile app developers see which ad efforts are actually paying off, is announcing that it has raised a $9.4 million round of funding led by Accel Partners. The company was founded in 2009 — the product that it initially built, and the one that's still highlighted on the HasOffers website, is a system that helps ad networks and agencies manage their performance-based programs. (Those agencies and ad networks include Bucksense, Tapjoy, and Sponsorpay.)...

Google Checkout is being sunsetted as the company focuses on shaping Google Wallet into a viable PayPal rival. Google Commerce announced today that Google Checkouts will be retired on November 20.

Founders Fund, the firm founded by Peter Thiel and other PayPal executives, famously declared that it wants to back companies with big, ambitious visions (not just dinky web startups). And that description certainly fits Hampton Creek Foods, a startup that wants to move the world from animal-based foods by creating alternatives that are genuinely tastier, healthier, and cheaper. Founder and CEO Josh Tetrick told me that he just closed a $1 million round from the firm. It's Founders Fund's first food tech inves...

Does my music do better on Facebook or Twitter? Where should my next tour be? Is my new song too repetitive? Musicians can get free answers to these questions and more from BeatDeck, a Y Combinator analytics company launching today. BeatDeck plans to license this data to labels and music stores to help them sign and recommend tomorrow's superstars. Yep, BeatDeck is an enterprise music startup....

Automated Insights, a startup that translates raw data into plain English, is launching a new product that could make analytics data a lot more accessible. The new product, called Site Ai, pulls data from existing systems (it started with Google Analytics and Clicky, and the company is currently taking votes on which service to integrate next), then it summarizes that data in normal sentences. For example, it can create a daily or weekly report that will tell you how current traffic compares to past patterns, what referring sites are driving the most searches, what keywords are driving the most searches, and so on. (You can ...

The bookend to Yahoo's Big News Day -- a major refresh of its photo sharing site Flickr -- will see the company drop is Flickr Pro pricing tiers as part of a bid to compete better with Facebook/Instagram and the rest of the crowded market in the online photo space. But it is not getting rid of paid tiers altogether: it's keeping an ad-free tier, called Ad Free, as well as a tier for power users, doublr, respectively priced at $49.99 and $499.99 for a year of use....

It's easy to forget that Yahoo has had a long on-again-off-again love affair with online video. Remember Broadcast.com, which kicked off the Mark Cuban Era? But you might not remember that, because other online video platforms long ago left Yahoo in the proverbial dust. Today, as Yahoo streamed its Flickr product and Tumblr acquisition announcements, we were given a demonstration of why Yahoo has been left in the dust -- and why it's had to turn to acquisitions for help in, well, nearly every department....

Yahoo’s Flickr photo-sharing service is now offering one full terabyte for users, enough storage space to hold whole swathes of the world’s photos. The service is offering this benefit in addition to its full resolution photo storage service. While the average user will probably not touch the outer limits of this storage space in a lifetime, this alone is probably enough to draw dedicated photographers to the service and, more important, bring lapsed users back to the Yahoo fold. This move is important. Given the odd nature of most photo sharing services, you are either limited to a few dozen gigabytes or, in the case of Instagram and other mobile services, an unstated upper limit that is not part of the marketing collateral. While I don’t do...

Hackers who breached Google's network in 2010 obtained access to the company's system for tracking surveillance requests from law enforcement, according to a news report.

The NSA will spend around $40 million per year on energy bills for the data center, according to one estimate. But those energy costs may be a bit higher than expected, thanks to a new state law that could levy a 6% energy tax on the facility, the Salt Lake City Tribune reports....

Yahoo's narrative arc as a company can be defined by its acquisitions, which taken together also serve as one take on the history of the web itself. In the Yahoo version of that history, founders and backers of overvalued companies enjoy huge exits while the buyer tends to learn too late that its exuberance was irrational....

Flickr wants to remind you that it's a photo site. "Everything that we've done in this new redesign has been about putting the photo front and center," says Flickr VP Brett Wayn. For a photo site, Flickr looks like it was designed in 1997. That ends today with a site redesign that removes all that ......

Tumblr users are fretting over the Yahoo acquisition on -- where else? -- Tumblr.

Every week, Wired takes a look at the latest episode of?Mad Men?through the lens of the latest media campaign of?the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce advertising agency.

In an effort to unmask a leaker who fed a reporter classified information about North Korea, FBI investigators tracked the journalist's movements in and out of a government building, obtained copies of his phone records and personal e-mails and also took the unprecedented step of alleging that the reporter engaged in a criminal conspiracy simply for doing his job....

Yahoo is paying $1.1 billion to acquire the hip blog network Tumblr. Here's exactly how much advertising needs to be sold, across three different categories, to make the deal pencil.

Pinterest has become that rarest of specimens, at least in the consumer/social world: an independent, massively scaling service that not only bestows the ?cool? factor that every large company seems to crave but, in Pinterest?s case, offers a huge opportunity to turn its "things I want to buy" essence into an e-commerce cash machine. It is the last of its kind....

Google's subscription music service debuted last week as an Android-only affair. But one third-party developer has quickly compiled an iOS app enabling Apple devices to listen in.

The airline lost my luggage on the way to TCAF and my bus is (so far) an hour late so I decided to draw a comic. I’m trying to update from my phone so I hope I don’t break my website. Fingers crossed!...

Ben Kuchera: Everyone involved with the upcoming reboot of the PC classic Shadow Warriors wants to make one thing absolutely clear: This is a reimagined version of the game. None of the original assets were used, although the main character, setting, and some aspects of the story and combat were retained. The interesting bit, however, is what will be missing. Getting the team together “At Devolver we had this idea of completely rebooting Shadow Warrior. It’s not an HD remake,” Devolver’s Nigel Lowrie told me over the phone. “At the time we were doing Serious Sam 3, I…...

Tycho: What I actually said was “Yes Jamie, Thank You Jamie,” but that comic sucks.  This comic improves substantially on reality. I met one of the guys on my team at the first Golf Tourney we ever did, and we kept in touch - he’s pretty sturdy, as I recall.  And the “format” is Team Scramble, one of several co-op variants, which has everyone hitting from the best position each time and ultimately sharing in the best score.  I would never say that this meant you should bet on my team, or whatever, or follow my curse-laden journal of horrors on #CPGolf,…...

Tycho: “Too Damn Late,” like Strips Which Include Div, is a specifically Gabriel form.  I relent when we are exposed to a glut of news which might individually make for thin gruel, but leveraged in this context are appropriate.  The cadence is also fun to model.  Anyway, the stars were right. Electronic Arts has dicussed the wealf they’d stacked as a result of Online Passes, part of Project Ten Dollar, which was itself a kind of retail counterinsurgency.  With the advent of new consoles, cost conscious players will almost certainly stay or adopt the existing…...

New Comic: Increasingly Damn Late

The winning team will get bragging rights and all of their supporters will be listed on the Penny Arcade site. So hit the CP site for all the details and place a bet on your favorite PA golfer. Oh and it’s true that I did have Lasik yesterday but I’m healing really well and I don’t think it will effect my golf game.…...

Ben Kuchera: Ben's note: This is post from Vlambeer's Rami Ismail is an interesting look at what happens when indie devs have a relationship with the platform holders that sell their games, and how having something to lose makes it harder to help out other developers. Back in the early days of our medium, games were made by enthusiasts and small groups of people with the technical expertise required to program complex machinery. Over time, the medium started expanding its reach and these small groups of enthusiasts organized into small companies. Gaming went through its arcade and shareware…...

Tycho: Longtime friends of the site have collaborated on goodies for backers.  When we hit the next goal, MC Frontalot’s twenty track “Favoritism” LP will be joined by Paul & Storm’s “Do You Like Star Wars” and the “Learning Town Soundtrack” on the flashdrive you get at the $55 dollar pledge.  That little flashdrive is starting to get pretty plump, kid.

The future of gaming is with the next Xbox. The cartridge is back, baby!

So, Denis Dyack put together a lengthy video to establish how he's not scamming the people supporting his Kickstarter. What do you think? I'd have an opinion on it myself but I fell asleep after the first three minutes. On this fine Monday in May, Dale is scared to marathon The Last of Us, we asked if publishers should try to profit from user-created video, Jim reviewed Resident Evil: Revelations for the Wii U, we checked out tons of games from pre-E3, and so many more things happened on 5/20/2013.

[Dtoid community blogger UsurpMyProse has seen into the future and been given a glimpse of tomorrow's Xbox event, and what he saw was... well, it's about what we all expected. Want to see your own words appear on the front page? Go write something! --Mr Andy Dixon] Ah, the fabled revealing of a new console! Such an unveiling is an event as rare and beautiful as a lunar eclipse, both functioning to simultaneously draw attention to and obscure a marvel that man has devoted a considerable amount of time and energy to reach. And like a lunar eclipse, it is as wholly unique as it is utterly predictable. Yes, for as much as we may hype this once-every-seven-years occurrence, the gaming community already has a pretty good idea of how these things go down. Any one of us can detail Microsoft's upcoming press conference right down to the tech demos, even without the b...

I feel like we've been hearing a lot about The Last of Us lately, but that's far from a bad thing, as I'm finally starting to get a better idea of how it'll actually play. Here's more talk about the action-survival game, directly from the folks working on it. In the video, Naughty Dog discusses some of the choices that players will face when crafting. Given the overlap in (already limited) resources, we'll be forced to go on the offensive or defensive in terms of what we build. That user interface does look lovely, and thank goodness -- the action doesn't stop when you're constructing items or weapons. ...

[In light of recent criticisms, Dtoid community blogger Voltech took it upon himself to defend Japan's games and culture, and argues that they aren't so different from the West's.

We're slowly learning more about the enigmatic Hardware: Shipbreakers, the sci-fi RTS from the makers of Homeworld. Blackbird Interactive has just released a new trailer showcasing the "Baserunner," the versatile, customizable workhorse of the prospector ground forces.  Though we've seen no gameplay footage yet, the art direction of these trailers and the concept art is stunning, and it's hopefully consistent with the in-game style. A wee bit of lore is also revealed, though LM-27 still remains a mystery.  Apparently, gameplay will be shown off soon, and a closed beta is being planned for Q4 of this year. You can apply for beta access on the Hardware website right now.  ...

Nintendo of America's Twitter announced today that the next Nintendo Direct, which will take place before E3 starts, will discuss the new Smash Bros., a 3D Mario game, and the next Mario Kart. Are you really excited yet? I'm really excited. I hope they arrange something along the lines of the Smash Bros. Dojo to tease us with new information regard Smash Bros. I can still vividly remember the day when they announced Sonic as a playable character alongside the delay in the game's release. Such mixed emotions! I think people normally expect too much from these Nintendo Directs as a whole. They happen quite frequently, so not every one of them can blow your mind. That being said, if this one doesn't blow peoples' collective minds then I think Nintendo will cause quite the f...

I want to use C++11 Smart Pointers in new projects, and encounter a problem. Many current projects still use raw pointers as parameters in their interface and have no interface for smart pointers, e.g. QMainWindow::setCentralWidget.

I'm pretty sure there's no way to do this, but I was wondering, so here goes... Say I get several int values from the user, and I know for a fact that the 1st value is the largest. Any way I can use the length of the first int value as the padding when printing the rest of the numbers? Browsing the forum I found that you can determine the length of an int (n) like this: l = (int) log10(n) + 1; Using padding of 5 a print would look like: printf("%5d", n); So what I want to know is whether or not there's a way to use l instead of 5...

I am fighting with an audio codec. I am trying to decode encoded bytes, and it works "relatively" fine. My audio is decoded, but it is 1x faster than expected. Only half of the output is filled with actual audio data, the rest is empty data. By "1x faster" I want to express that the decoded audio data only spreads over half of the output buffer, the other half is empty. However, the sound is still understandable, not Mickey-Mousey, just twice the normal speed. My best idea would be that only each 2nd bytes is written to the output buffer. It would be like having "Hello!" shrunk down to "Hlo". I am not sure if I made a calcuation error somewhere. I went through the code again and again, but I just don't see where I could have gone wrong. I checked for any return errors, there are none there.

VR-Zone: ''A legendary PSX game is now slated for a rather big change, as Square Enix has just made Final Fantasy VII International PC version available for download via Square Enix e-Store on May 16, 2013. It isn't exactly the much wished for remake though, but there's still a load of convenient features that would help you enjoy playing this RPG classic.''...

GameHuLu: ''It's the fate of the world! So traditional role-playing games arent your thing. Maybe the combat is too slow, the protagonists too whiny, the outfits too ridiculous, or the games too long. Perhaps youre just not into the fantasy settings, or the princesses and knights and grumpy leading men with hearts of gold. There are many clichés associated with JRPGs, a lot of them with good reason, and you dont have the time or patience for that nonsense.''...

SGCafe: ''Ranma 1/2, InuYasha and Urusei Yatsura What do these three have in common? Yes, all three are classic anime and manga, but what else? If you are thinking Takahashi Rumiko, then you are correct!''...

I nearly laughed myself to death this week, I did not think anyone would have remembered Library Wars from back in the day when Impz still blogged, but apparently the production staff remembers love for it. However, I cannot help but be a little disappointed that the protectors of the Celano Library were squaddies with [...]...

Hell quarter is over for me but Mahiro is going to be in a very special place for another season. Nyaruko is still set on the plans of conquest and is already declaring her total victory to be inevitable. Still I do wish that they were stuck in some alternate dimension where they are in [...]...

Through the latter half of Shin Sekai Yori it’s been evident how terrible the human society of villages has been not just to their own people, but to the other major, intelligent inhabitants of the land. And even if Squealer’s rebellion was indiscriminate, one could definitely understand why he and the other bakenezumi did what they did. [...]...

Well I suppose the post for the older episodes can wait because it isn’t often that Hayami-sempai is the one on the wrong end of Hosaka. I am all for healthy eating but I think that the Headless Horseman is advancing some wicked vegan agenda. Nevertheless with less tourists heading to New England these days [...]...

So I am not really dead yet but I have managed to fall off the face of the Earth for the better part of two months now. No, I am not calling it quits but it seems that EO and Hana are having a merry old time sipping tea with the Queen of England. Hopefully [...]...

Caught up and ready to go with another week’s worth of anime, I have to say that it was an eventful week for some of the shows I’m watching. / Shin Sekai Yori episode 19 (and a bit on 10-18 too) The Show To This Point: I’d purposefully let myself fall way behind on this [...]...

Four weeks into the season and I still wasn’t sure what to blog, so I figured I’d go with EVERYTHING! Well, in a much shorter format, but basically, I’ll be writing briefly about every show I’m watching this season as it goes, which currently stands at: Maoyuu, Kotoura-san, Tamako Market, Shin Sekai Yori, and Minami-ke: Tadaima. So here’s my thoughts on [...]...

If your Christmas tree is still up, it’s not too late to post on Secret Santa! Every year for a while now, Reverse Thieves has done an anime Secret Santa project where you sign up, receive a person to pick three shows for, and someone else secretly gives you three recommendations. This year I gave [...]...

Welp. Girls und Panzer certainly one-upped themselves with this fight. They’ve managed to do a lot of things right, and even though they have several parts rather wrong, it’s still a great and entertaining effort. Unfortunately, the deciding moment is pretty much a clone of Ooarai’s match with Saunders. What’s special about this match is [...]...

This installment of the tank primer series covers the Russian team, which fields a total of 15 tanks! My happiness with this team’s makeup and tactics is only surpassed by my love for the fact that they sang Katyusha in Russian. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go put it on loop while [...]...
