- Hurricane Katrina Relief Info -
I've put together an informational page that gathers all the info I put in my last rant plus a bunch of new information, links and resources that can help you figure out what you can do to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. A few things of note include a Webcomics Telethon that Blank Label Comics is sponsoring on September 12 and 13th, and Bungie is offering this rather cool "Fight the Flood" t-shirt to raise money for the Red Cross. All good stuff.
I'll be keeping a link to this page on the main MT site for a while, and i'll let you know when i update it. Feel free to link directly too this page or pass it on to any friends who may avoid Megatokyo itself like the plague. The page itself is harmless :)
In other news, i'm almost done with my Otakon rant. Boring, yes, but at least i have lots of pictures to share. I'm working on getting better audio/video footage from the con so that i can look at possibly releasing bits of stuff that isn't too terrible from the show. I also feel a lot better having Chapter 7 back under way again, and i'm looking forward to drawing up the next few weeks worth of stuff. That is, if Primula doesn't devour my soul...

It's been hard trying to muster up the motivation to write recently, but hey, if even Fred can write while the world's feeling somber, I can figure something out--even if it's just making fun of the column just to the left of me.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for how Fred can channel his primordial angst into a force for creativity and profit. I can't make fun of the man TOO much--he's giving me a hamster soon, and that's pretty much the reason I've stuck around for the past five years. Seriously.
But it's been interesting, seeing people rally around Katrina relief everywhere. I got a report from Animefest that they were sharing space with rescue teams organizing before the move to New Orleans.
And when I was at the Cal game, they raised some $25,000 for the Red Cross. Everywhere you look, there's something similar.
So yeah, time to pull my head out of my little hermitage and start being me again!
Which, uh, means staying at home and playing video games, actually. Unless there's karaoke or football involved...
PS: Fred's a loli.
