The AWA Post, Ver.XVI

by W4JDH
It’s been a week since I returned from Anime Weekend Atlanta 16, so I figure it’s time to make the yearly post about the con. Play-by-play begins here↓ Thursday, September 16: I woke up a lot earlier this year than the previous years, excepting the two years I worked on Thursday, mostly because I needed ... Read More

The Convention Conundrum

by W4JDH
Here’s a scenario: you’ve found a {convention|hamfest|trade show|conference} you want to attend, have a hotel picked out, and have your method of transportation picked out. What you don’t know, though, is if you want to leave out Sunday evening or Monday morning. This was the scenario I ended up with in 2005 when it was ... Read More

Mobile Connectivity +α

by W4JDH
Earlier this week, I read on TmoNews.com that T-Mobile was making another promo on their webConnect (aircard) service. I had cashed in on a promo plan towards the end of last year for $50/mo instead of $60/mo, but this one is even more awesome: “Overage Free” rate plan for $40/mo. What this means is that ...

MomoCon 2007

by W4JDH
So, I finally made it back to MomoCon this year after missing it last year (due to needing to buy tires :/). Arrived at the con last night around 6:15 or so, grabbed dinner with a friend, then proceeded to wander around for a bit. I got there after the dealers room had already closed, ... Read More

AWA WiFi Setup, or How to Avoid Needless Fees

by W4JDH
It’s fairly common knowledge that most hotels these days have free WiFi in at least part of the hotel. The hotel in question is the Renaissance Waverly that Anime Weekend Atlanta has been at the past three years. Their free WiFi is in the lobby/convention center area (basically the first two floors of the hotel) ... Read More

AWA Pre-Prep Stage 1

by W4JDH
Router machine works! Should have wireless in the hotel room for access from PS2 and laptops. Next on the agenda is the acquisition of a box to carry stuff… that will be remedied tomorrow. After that… waiting for Thursday to do the final grabbing of stuff before airport→hotel→dinner→hotel+registration→???→PROFIT! …or something like that. At least preliminary ... Read More

「ごめんなさい。」「日本語が分りません。」^^;;;

by W4JDH
Yeah, I’m sure some of you are saying the subject right now after the first 2 posts’ titles. The first one said, roughly, “Once more, let’s begin!” The second, “This is a test.” And this one is a play on the Auto-Translator from FFXI and says “{I’m sorry.}{I don’t understand Japanese.}” Although I don’t think ...

AWA 2005

by W4JDH
Anime Weekend Atlanta 2005 is under a month away, and I’m already getting the jitters (well, I was last weekend as Otakon was underway and I was getting live reports about it on IRC). I doubt many people I know read this, but yes, I will be attending it, no, I won’t be cosplaying, but ... Read More

New Anime: CLAMP and… wtf?

by W4JDH
So a couple of new anime series started this weekend: Speed Grapher and Tsubasa Chronicle. First up is Speed Grapher. It’s… interesting, to say the least. It’s about a photographer and takes place in modern-day Tokyo (at least from what I can tell so far). That’s all I really know so far, as I couldn’t ... Read More
