Anime - Japanese Animation
Baka - Japanese word for idiot or fool
Loosely put an Anime Baka is someone who's crazy about Anime. However interpretation's may vary. I tend to think of Anime Baka as meaning something like drooling fan boy/girl.

Wrote this a long time ago. Too short for an article:
Perverted - Hentai in Japanese. But the word pervert means deviation from normal or accepted. So, how can all guys be perverts?
Did you ever notice that the sex scene in the movie is generally at about the same realative place as the guitar solo in a song?
2010-02-05 Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection
They did it, they finally did it "those bastards" (opps that's not what I want to convey). Leji and the owners and the producer have been deadlocked in court for ten years over rights to SBY. I see that there was even a short lived TV show (that crashed and died) a couple years ago. It's no wonder I can be so flippant to Robotech. I have to ask, would I be where I am doing what I'm doing with out ...more
2009-12-16 Tipping
It is my general opinion that the whole custom of Tipping is garbage. Unfortunately this garbage has integrated itself with the US society to the point that removing it would be akin to removing the salt from the sea. Really tipping is virtually meaningless if it is expected or demanded as it is now. And if you don't tip the waiter, he or she is still taxed on the amount. Government Enforced ...more
2009-12-08 Safeway Sucks!
This has bothered me for some time. I finally got around to writing about it. Safeway leaves it's lights on at night when they are closed. Not only that, but they generally don't post their hours on the store entrance. As they do stocking at night there are always a bunch of cars in their lot. It's a hit or miss thing, you never know if their open or not as there is no visual clue. There are thre...more
2009-09-16 Update
I've been very involved with cleaning up the old house and working on my new (to me) ship, the IJN Haguro.
We have finished the upstairs at the old hose and released it to the church. There are still a couple items to pick up that can not be gotten at right now, but it's essentially done. I'm continuing work on the downstairs, which is a real mess. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the...more
2009-09-16 IJN Haguro
The IJN Haguro was a Heavy Japanese Cruiser built in 1925. She was in many a famous battle until sunk in 1945. My one was bought used and has banks of three single shot torpedo tubes on each side and a single BB cannon mounted on the front. She skims along quickly (35.5kts) and can outrun most other ships. She is about five feet ...more
2009-07-31 Just Say No to Phony Books
Just how many yellow pages are there? Too many. On the one hand you've got to love the entrepreneurial spirit. On the other hand it's just people out to scam other people. What I'm talking about is all the fake phone books that seem to be everywhere.
Imagine creating a need for a service where there is no need. Imagine convincing people that they free isn't good enough. Imagine contributing ...more
2009-07-27 Behind The Line - Traffic Ramblings
I've been noticing something pretty weird the last few years. I finally decided to write something about it. Did you ever notice cars pulling up to a stop light and staying several feet to a car length away from the limit line? Once I noticed that this was happening I started seeing it all the time.
Is there some sort of reasoning behind this? Is it somehow safer? Are our drivers becoming mor...more
2009-07-12 Western Warship Combat Club
Well I made the big plunge, twice. I carpolled down to San Jose with Terry to do battle on the pond of destiny where the scores of old are settled. I think the Axis whipped the Allies more than the other way.
If you don't have any Idea what I'm talking about, I'm talking about scale model warship combat. Yes that's right model warships with actual guns that fire. They sink and you go get the...more
2009-07-04 Clearlake (Lakeport) Fireworks - Boat Trip
We were supposed to go for a Cruise on Lake Sonoma last weekend, but the boat did not start. So we really tried to get it running as I'd always wanted to go to the Lakeport Fireworks show. My dad and I troubleshooted it and then took the starter off and had it re-built. We got it back on Thursday and it ran. I really tried to get my Dad to come along for the trip but he wouldn't come because ...more
2009-06-21 Spreckles Lake
Bevy and I drove down to San Francisco Today (Sunday) to interact with some members of the Western Warship Combat Club. I think everyone had a blast although we didn't really live fire any of the Ships. I brought my Victor 32 and Bevy and the guys had fun sailing it. The wind was a little disappointing, but still fun. I got to steer a few different ships and found it wasn't as easy as I though...more
