if I win the lottery, Bradley Schenck will be getting a pile of cash to redesign this site from scratch.

In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)

where I start my browsing day...

...and one source I trust for reviews, reports, and opinion on manga specifically...

...and where my casual browsing usually ends, past the research for various articles that I have to do each day.

Note: NSFW. Icarus, best described as "the Thinking Man's Porn Manga." Simon does me the undeserved favor of dropping free review copies my way, which I have callously ignored to date. Simon's blog is also a must-read, for a look at the manga industry from a small indy publisher's perspective. Plus, porn.

- Overlayed schematics, colour-inverted, of the Lippisch P-09 Rocket Plane, the Sänger-Bred Rocket Bomber, an unnamed heavy-tank-class mecha, and a second unnamed mecha in fighter-jet configuration (both anonymous to keep my ass from infringement -- and at that resolution & in combination I claim fair use as part of an artistic and satirical collage)
