I have been a member of the anime fandom since the early 1990s… over 20 years. In that time I have seen the community grow and evolve in amazing ways. One such way can be seen in how we get access to anime and manga. When I was first getting into Anime, I was very [...]

Fanime Report: Friday & Saturday
While we have an anime category, we don’t talk about it in excess (only 26 posts over 7 years). Be that as it may, Fanime is a big event each year for the staff of Snowulf. We’re all fans of anime, no shame in that, but our fandom is something on the quieter side as [...]
Recovering from Fanime
Report on proceedings to follow later in the week.
Fanime This Weekend
Fanime! started today, and I am currently en route to San Jose for that very reason. As previously reported, Jon went in 2009, convinced me to join him 2010 (to which we did a five part followup), and I went last year. This year, Jon and I will be there for the whole convention. The [...]

So far these three items are the only 802.11ac products available, [...]
Diablo 3 Release Day!
Diablo 3 was released today, or more accurately at midnight. The servers promptly crashed (which these days seems to be a badge of success), but were brought back online fairly quickly. If you don’t yet have Diablo 3, you can still order it through Amazon, or (assuming you have a decent internet connection) just go [...]
