*steam rolls out of my ears* I love and hate Yahoo all at the same time. I have a store in their shopping mall, which I love (animeusaexpress.com), but then I have my normal website hosted by their web hosting. What an over loving nightmare that is!
Without any warning they discontinued my multiple domain names pointing to the site. All of a sudden all my advertised domain names were useless. No wonder my business was down! Then I started looking around…boy was I being ripped off something fierce! A friend (Thanks Melissa!) recommended IPowerWeb.com, wow! This looks nice! Let’s take a look at the two:

Gee….Which should I go with? And there were just the highlights! You can see the whole package deal for IPowerWeb here.
Wow…this article is just fascinating.
Having been to Akihabara a few times, I know that the geekiness is almost palpable in the air, but now it seems it is rising to an even higher level. On my upcoming trip to Japan in August I actually HAVE to go over to this district on some business, now comes the question though, will I be able to resist the urge of checking out one of the mentioned resturants? They don’t appeal to me in any sort of perverse way…well that’s not entirely true. The appeal to me in the perverse sense I want to see how the Otaku act!
I will admit, I am a HUGE geek (or Otaku), but at least I have SOME social graces. So going to one of these places appeals to me almost in the “Oh look…a train wreck” sort of way. Sounds like a truly fascinating way to witness another part of their culture.
