Anime and Thomas Romain

So I've somehow managed to be fortunate enough to be in open contact with and get some advice and input from famed anime and franime designer Thomas Romain (Code Lyoko, Oban Star-Racers, SATELIGHT anime Studio), and speaking with him offers many insights...

Thanks...

Thanks for all the YouTube video comments people.

I appreciate the 1,001 comments I got....

Don't tell my MOM!

My mom: "Mr. Thomas Romain. Hello, nice to meet you. I RESPECT what you do I really do. But what is this I hear about you animating French-Japanese Animated Feature Films with my son. He's a good boy, he really is, but he's just not ready for this so-called "anime career" thing. I don't know what's got into my boy. As soon as he gets home, I'm going to discipline him. Straight to the hospital with him! You've done quite enough for my boy. You are sending him home, right?"

Hmmmm....Scratches chinny chin chin

Tricks and Pitfalls in Webcomics Art Re-Sizing Land

ArtResize software is great. It's a great auto-formatting option for End Times. Formatting your pages to your WCN account is half the challenge. Uploading my webcomics to WCN is now twice as easy, because ArtResize software makes it automatic. Does this sound like a commercial to anyone? Good. You earned that one, ArtResize Software.

So...

I was GONNA publish my invention concept a patent list on my website to show it off....UNTIL I was overwhelmed by dramatic public outcry against the decision by protective family, industry colleagues and friends. "NO! Don't do it, Joe!" They all yelled at me, "They've TAKEN SO MUCH FROM YOU LIKE COMMON PETTY THIEVES. DON'T LET THEM TAKE THAT TOO!!! THEY'RE CRIMINAL THIEVES!!!! NOOOO!!!!!"

And so, after a dramatic outcry, I took the list down, realizing it ISN'T Such a good idea to share your thoughts all the time, because you won't get a penny for them, but other people will most definitely try to.

Lesson learned. 

I'm Workin' On It....Well, for me anyway..

I'm working on an Imagineer-style computer hardware and software system, exclusively built, engineered, and prototyped for my home and my home only. Once everything is built once I finally have the resources to do so, my entire house will be a working technology laboratory and computer network, connecting my entire house, room to room.

Just tossing some ideas around (with myself of course). I'll Eventually build it though.
