Yikes! It’s been ages since I wrote here… What today’s post will be is a combination of con reports for AWA in 2021 as well as last weekend’s 2022 edition. 2021 I wasn’t going to keep my hotel reservation until the Atlanta Braves made it to the World Series, which they eventually won. I’d initially … Continue reading

AWA XXV
It’s been over a week since I got back from attending Anime Weekend Atlanta for the 16th year in a row, and if I had to be honest with myself, this really was the best one ever. It had nothing to do with the convention’s content but rather had to do with getting to hang … Continue reading
Anime Weekend Atlanta, Sans Car
Hi there! I’ve changed jobs since the last post, and my new job has me running all over town doing computer work! I was at one of my company’s clients in 900 Circle 75 Parkway one day this past week, and the office I was working in overlooked the pedestrian bridge between the Cobb Galleria … Continue reading
Scaling Back
Every year I’ve looked at Anime Weekend Atlanta as more than a chance to hang out with friends from out of town because of the rather unique situation having several laptop wielders in the same hotel room can present. Therefore, I come up with all sorts of hair-brained network schemes to get everyone online from … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
Mobile Connectivity +α
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 … Continue reading
The AWA Post, Ver. 2009
(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) As has been the Autumnal Equinox (well, almost) tradition the past five years, I attended Anime Weekend Atlanta yet again this year. One single word describes this year: wet. As per my normal pre-pre-con activities, I checked the weather on Monday and Tuesday of last week to discover … Continue reading
Back from Otakon
(This is a repost from my LiveJournal) Brief recap time. Friday: Flight in not too bad, sitting at BWI playing FFXI while waiting for my friend Mike to call me to say he’s on the ground ends with a call about 10 minutes after his flight was supposed to land saying that he was still … Continue reading
