If this were a movie rather than a blog, this is where one of those fancy transitions would go. But it’s not. Nonetheless, it has indeed been a month since I’ve last posted. Given that the second to last post made on here was the one celebrating our first birthday, yeah, that […]
Yesterday, we celebrated an achievement for us. Today, we’d like to celebrate one just made by our friends at Zelda Reorchestrated. After many months of planning, today, ZREO announced the official recording date for the choir for Twilight Symphony. The recording will take place next month on Saturday, June 9th. […]
I can still hardly believe it as I write this, but as of today, both The France Hopper Network and ai|inc are now a year old. Last year, at 10:18pm edt, I quietly flipped the switch on what was started as a project to try to centralize everything I did on the […]
What’s this? A series update? Why yes it is. Due to the backlog, it might not be a single week in Philly, but these past three weeks haven’t had much of note anyway to have a separate post for each one. So, I’ve decided to combine them in to one long post […]
Two small site updates today: The header and background were changed to complete the transition to the new theme. The new design focuses on a simple, modern feel. Hopper Books and Media was updated with new recommendations for the week. And one larger update: The A Week in Philly series has officially returned. This […]
You may know where your towel is, but do you know where you pillow is? If you were in Philly this past Saturday, a pillow was a good thing to have on hand. Why? Oh, no reason in particular… This year, the annual Philadelphia Pillow Fight Day was organized by […]
Edit: As you may have likely guessed by now, this post was the April Fools Day joke for this year. We are not changing our name and the site has now been restored to normal. We will be continuing to update the site theme in phases that should be complete by the […]
In keeping up with the site updates, some very small ones were rolled out today: Sidebar: Removed “The Latest 5” box. Since the sidebar only appears on the home page, it was unnecessary to show the latest five posts again. The box still exists in the footer, which is shown […]
Today I’d like to unveil an entirely re-written photo gallery. Well, almost entirely. While the core system behind it is still same, it has been completely reorganized, has larger thumbnails, and now also features four new galleries, including the largest one to date. I’ve also added a link to see […]
OK, technically one isn’t entirely new. It’s been coming soonish. Well, now it’s here along with one new project that I am today rolling out of closed beta. The first project, the one that has been coming soonish, is a DIY room entry detection system. It is a system I […]
While my business card (one of them anyway) does proudly state “Apple Fanboy”, I admit I was excited by a little surprise I got over the weekend while at the Freehold Raceway Mall in Freehold, NJ. At first, I honestly thought it was an advertisement, cleverly painted over a store […]
One year ago today, at 14:46 JST, Japan was rocked by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, now known as the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, it wasn’t the initial earthquake that did the most damage. It was the tsunami that followed, wiping out entire towns and causing the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi […]
Note: The following is cross-posted from Gemakei, where I am the Community Administrator. While the PlayStation Vita didn’t officially launch in the US until this past Wednesday, for those willing to fork out the extra cash, Sony offered a special First Edition Bundle. For $350, you got to enjoy a 3G […]
I can confirm one thing about Mountain Lion: you must have a Mac with EFI64. No 10.8 for Totoro 🙁 http://t.co/EpEIdzB8 # I'm at Webko Estate (Tinton Falls, NJ) http://t.co/ItFgO8FI # In case you're stuck on Gaia's 9th birthday puzzle (SPOILERS!)…. http://t.co/hPDc7Nhl # #TIL Danny's in Japan is owned by […]
