Vicipaedia<\/a> needs otaku who can write decent Latin. The anime<\/a> and manga<\/a> pages are pathetic. (I had several years of Latin, but that was a long time ago in a different century, and it would take more time than I can spare to regain competence.)<\/p>\n

From Negima Ala Alba<\/em><\/strong> OAD #2 (not recommended).<\/p>\n

I discovered that the software used to animate Hatsune Miku is freeware, available here<\/a>. It’s surprisingly capable. Here’s Miku dancing Maurice Bejart’s choreography<\/a>; compare it to the final minutes of this<\/a>. ((I recommend skpping the first six minutes unless you are a Bejart fanatic.)) Unfortunately, like Miku herself, it’s not for Macs.<\/p>\n

More random nonsense:<\/p>\n

An animated stereogram<\/a>. It works, too. There are more here<\/a>. (Via Cartoon Brew<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

“Not only does it save time, but it’s really stupid, too<\/a>.” More poem generators here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can’t find anything you like on the radio? Set a few parameters and generate your own music<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I did not need to see this:<\/p>\n\n
