Mazinkaiser SKL:A Great Action-Packed Anime

By albertus,on June 28th,2012

I just finished watching the 3-part saga of “Mazinkaiser SKL”and was very satisfied with it. The pace was fast and full of battle scenes. The Blu-ray disc release by Anime Works was very good,albeit lacking a bit on special features. The total run time for this anime was about 80 minutes.

Microsoft Greets Linux Happy Birthday

By albertus,on July 20th,2011

By albertus,on June 30th,2011

Today,I upgraded my Mozilla Thunderbird email client to version 5.0. To my surprise,it turned out to be faster than the previous 4.x versions.

Obsolete Books

By albertus,on June 14th,2011

Everyone seems to be looking for good bargains after Thanksgiving. There are some who are already lined up at the stores that have sale items on Friday. I’m just wondering if Apple products are going to be on sale as well. At least OWC might have some Apple items on sale.
