A $5 magazine page from the antique store and a $5 frame. That's a 92 year old print, and my favorite piece of railroad / tobacco advertising.

Fanime panel submission is in. Here's hoping we can present for a seventh (!) consecutive FanimeCon! Our vintage anime panel is honestly my favorite part of the con these days, and has been for quite a while.

Luck has not transferred over to the other side of the room.

The day of the REG bonus. This is the first time I've hit a bonus on Super Reno without having the chance sign lit, which after a year I was starting to think wasn't possible. As for Final Bunny, I'm a pretty good eye shooter on that machine.

I've decided to apply to host Vintage Anime - Name That Year! once again at FanimeCon. I was thinking of hanging it up but I'm looking at next year as the final year. (If we're accepted of course) Other panels I was thinking of in addition won't be developed enough in time, but underway for 2027.

Coming up on a year since I rebuilt this one. It has been absolutely rock solid. Although I still can't wrap my head around some of the wiring harness logic, particularly the signal lines for the speakers, which seem to pass through the power supply before the game logic board.

"...then stop going to Whole Foods" has been the response to so many dialogues for so many years, and that continues to this day.

Finally framed these flyer / ad prints I got at California Extreme a few years ago. Remember when Chun-Li used to look like Chun-Li?

While not unique to the platform nor even the lone port, G.Darius is my favorite PS1 shooter. ...and I can take or leave most Darius games.

In normal times, today the government would be acknowledging the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

Devil Hunter Yohko 3 bootleg Japanese videocassette. Pretty high quality, all things considered. The holographic stickers are just photocopies. lol A reel had some degraded grease on it or something so I had to split the labels and open for cleaning, then wound both directions by hand.

Question someone here may be able to answer. Who actually created this illustration? I want to buy it but I want to make sure I do so from the real artist and not a thief.

Lieu: "How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They are so scared that they literally are calling Jack Smith ... Republicans would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump than about his associations with Epstein and his pedophelia ring."

Came across a pair of these Sailor Moon sneakers from a few years ago for a good price and finally caved. As much as I dislike Vans, the quality of these is decent. These will definitely pick up color transfer as well, so they'll be special occasion.

Possibly the most isolated railroad crossing in San Jose. Connects the Alviso and Mallard trails way out in the Alviso marshlands with a legal crossing. If you do cross here, do be careful as the trains are doing about 75MPH and approach far quicker than they appear to.

Incredible, was actually able to book 4 nights for Fanime. I think this is the first year they've allowed booking outside of Fri, Sat, Sun without having to contact CMR.

Ah, time to dust off some old AIM away messages... JAMES DORK WILL RETURN IN Dr. BSoD

If you're in SF and the property interests you, this is a decent buy. I'd recommend you get him down to $200 / $175, but an E6 error can usually be remedied by clearing out the hopper and cycling it, then performing a reset.

I finally found one of these in good condition for a fair price. Mark V sets were only made for a couple years and had limited distribution at Disneyland. (Most park stores just sold the Disney World Mark VI sets, even in Anaheim)

The biggest problem with Christmas in the Park is the odd vibe it gives me, like it's the setting of a The X-Files cold open where someone is going to get abducted.

Standing around at the corner of Younger and First to see if VTA is actually going to dispatch a historic streetcar today - an hour overdue right now.

Last two pages from my 2025 calendar. The November image was pretty surreal to take and I got there just before the sun began to blaze. That's shot though the fence at the edge of the SF yard.

The year is 1998, and Rhino Records has embarked on a quest to assemble a CD containing the "Best of Anime". Presumably after hundreds of employees watched and listened to every anime every made up to that point, they settled on a fascinating 16 songs to include. www.discogs.com/release/3378...

I swear, every railcar seat is 100x more comfortable than the Caltrain EMUs. Gold Runner (Gold Digger) may have all sorts of operational problems but the seats are nice at least.

By far the most over the top shoes I own, and that's saying a lot.

Interesting, the Roma Playboy suits for this year have different tails as well, more plush and less fur-like (new on the left, old on the right). Rosette ribbons are longer this year too, that's reversed on the picture (old on the left, new on the right).

Few things from Nikaku today. You can take the San Josean out of Japantown but you can't take the Japantown out of... ah, you get it. That 999 die-cast is rad.

I will have to say, taken as a whole, the Macross II soundtrack is the best Macross soundtrack. I know I've gained a reputation as a Macross II apologist - but it's really good - J-Rock, idol pop, funk, classical, smooth jazz. And of course Wendy Ryder is still the best Macross idol.

Thankfully SCC voters passed Measure A for some bridge funding, so I don't totally have to worry about my public service career being eroded immediately. However I'm still taking a break from socials for a while.

My two favorite space program patches - the final Space Shuttle mission (STS-135), and the late Shuttle-era Mission Operations emblem.

Happy Halloween.

If I were a character in Evangelion, my entry plug would be filled with cholesterol rather than LCL, with all the free crap I'm eating at McDonald's lately from the Monopoly promotion.
