  • Individual Contributions to DBZ Fandom

    It is always fascinating when we are able to track down the actual first-time uses of certain words or phrases in DBZ fandom. Some of the things we take for granted and simply accept as commonplace were actually created by fans either for simplicity’s sake, out of ignorance, or even sometimes out of honest mis-translation.…

  • What Makes A Good Blog Entry?

    I ask this question both of myself (to try and answer in an actual blog post… how fascinating!), and also of you all, dear readers. What does make a blog entry “good”…? One thing to keep in mind is that I am not talking about a “blog” from a personal standpoint. This is work-work related…

  • Kids and Social Networking – Your Thoughts?

I have never asked the community…

I have come across a couple good bits o’ reading over the last couple days that somewhat tie in with this subject,…

  • Foreign Things Confuse Me

    I am back from the Honeymoon! We went on a cruise to Spain / Italy / France, and I am going to have a ton of pictures and stories to share (especially from Pompeii). In the meantime, I have something simple. This question goes out to all you Europeans out there. I should probaby have…
