so why don't you tell us a bit about yourself. . .?

hmm. . . next question, please.

what made you decide to make an editorial website?

that is a secret. ^_^

seriously? i wanted something really opinionated. almost bigoted sometimes, but in a friendly way. i thought that would be something people could relate to that wasn't being properly expressed. fansubbing, commercial licenses, conventions. . . these are things people have strong opinions about.

what's your job like?

i'm very good at putting off deadlines. ^_^ usually, i sit around until everything lines up correctly and a design or article occurs to me, and then i put it into the machine. it's very random. sometimes frustrating. but i like it. and sometimes i have fits of napoleon complex and yell at everyone to get some work done.

how do you like the rest of the staff?

hmm. . . well, jason is very easy to deal with, very good about programming things with every feature i need as quickly as i ask for it. jeff is a very gifted writer. aldo is very good at dealing with convention staff, a skilled diplomat. loy has great editorial slants on a lot of things, and alex's organizational skills are without parallel.

of course, everything i have just said is a complete lie. ^_^

oh. um. . . that's a nice computer in the picture there. . . do you really use a mac g4?

don't i wish. . . no, we just thought i should have one.

the answer to the ultimate question is. . .?
