As promised, continuing coverage of the AnimeFF story. Tonight's featured news bit from the main page at theotaku.com, Investigation 03: Jeffrey Borncamp. From reading his own words in the linked newsgroup posting, I have to say he's quite a character, but who am I to judge, right?

Now for the obligatory stuff I neglect every time I post an image. Credit for the M&M "eye candy" pictures goes to M&M Planet's Character Creator, located here. It's an "all flash" site, so if your computer has issues with flash, browser beware. And as always all my images are hosted by Photobucket. Any image editing that needed done was performed with Pixia.

One expects that kind of thing to happen in a blockbuster movie, the set-up is perfect for that, but when it happens in reality, it's unsettling. Adam's got solid facts, Jeffrey Borncamp, though, well he's still hiding somewhere. Legal action may not be smart for him, because he'd have to come out in the open again.

It looks like a lot, but it's only, well, probably in the three to four inch range, it's not that deep. To get an accurate forecast in my area, you have to half or double the amount they predict. They predicted one to two inches, we got three to four, if it had gone the other way we'd have a dusting or about half an inch. The one year (1995, I think) they started with a base prediction of 6 inches, then when the snow didn't stop, kept saying one to two more inches, we ended up with 18. Now you know why I don't think three to four inches is deep. If those temps you gave me are Celcius, that's cold.

We got a little ceramic heater in the cubbord under the sink now, so those pipes won't be cooling off again any time soon. If you've got metal pipes and a hair dryer, you've got nothing to worry about, put that sucker on high and blow hot air over the pipes till they thaw. I use a heat gun on plastic pipes, not recommended, and certain precautions have to be taken so the pipes don't melt.

I hope it warms up too. Nothing like clearing snow off the walk in 15°F weather. I'm happy the camera didn't choke on the shot, it hates night shots, but it took that one which looks absolutely stunning. Yeah, I thought the eye candy thing was funny.

I promised I'ed keep you all informed, since many of you don't get over to the main page to see it first hand, and I intend to do that till the whole thing is over.

I love the snow too, it makes having cold weather so worth it. The pipes will be all right, heaters an insulation are in place. I like the way the shot turned out, and yeah, I do better landscape work than just about anything else. I wish I could get out to the tunnels on the rail trail and shoot them in the snow, those would be breathtaking.

That's right you're further north so when it's cold here, it's the icy opposite of Perdition up there. Try to stay warm up there, and maybe have a snowball fight too, those are always fun.

There's not a lot of controversy, but there are a lot of very irate people, all focusing it in one direction, which has to say something. I hope things settle down soon too, Adam needs to put his attentions to other things, and having to deal with this for too long won't be a good thing. I'm glad to be back, I kind of missed posting here.

I'm not really sure what to suggest. I know clicking on the ad banners on site will boost the revenu of the site, which will help out a little. Other than that I'm on the same level, I don't really know how to help the cause besides doing what I'm doing and keeping you all informed about the situation.

Yeah, it got cold here. It wouldn't be so bad if the wind chill didn't put temps into the negative range. I'll keep as warm as I can till the spring.

All right, I'll admit that was a bad joke, but I thought it was funny at the time.

Chalk that up to my twisted sense of humor, and too much rum in my Strawberry Daquiri.

Really, that cold huh? I can't stand the cold normally, but I'm all right with it now because of the snow. It usually warms up here around late February early March. If I can get some pictures around the neighborhood of the Tulips and Daffodils blooming, I'll post them. That's one thing I like about the springtime, the flowers come out and things look absolutely wonderful.

Animé Dreams!
