About this blog…

I’ve decided to set this up mostly as a place for me to keep track of my various otaku adventures, though it has also evolved into including some of my more general interests. Photos from trips, events, and real life ramblings have been known to show up. I originally started over at Windows Live Spaces and moved to WordPress a few months later. Even though all that content was migrated over, the earlier posts (pre 4/22/2009) may actually look better over there…

About me…

There really isn’t too much to tell about me. I could probably say I started my career as an anime fan back in 1999 or 2000, when I caught a show on Cartoon Network called Sailor Moon. Yep, I’ll freely admit, my first taste of anime was the original DiC dub of Sailor Moon. From there, I moved on to other series, like Tenchi Muyo! and classics like Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell. I fell off for a bit when I entered college, but rekindled the obsession with Aa! Megami-sama. It’s been a downward spiral since then, getting into manga, DVDs, figures, and (most recently) Dollfies. In particular, I blame that last item on Danny Choo, though he exasperated much of my more recent figure acquisitions.

In the real world, I work for a little Redmond-based software company called Microsoft managing enterprise customers. Even though I’m based in Charlotte, NC, I love being a proponent for my company’s products (where credit is due, or lacking), so product ramblings will occasionally sneak in here.

About my collection…

I’ve amassed quite the amount of stuff in the past years. It’s mostly made up of manga and DVDs, however I’ve also developed a small collection of figures. My two daughters (Tohsaka Rin and Yoko) are my favorites. I know I said I’d never put down the money to buy one, but here I am with two… ^.^;;

I’ve also been featured in Kotobukiya’s Otacool publication, including an image on the cover and a two page spread on the inside! Sadly, I think my cat is in it more than me…

That’s really about it. Feel free to browse and leave comments. I’d love to hear from you! If you prefer email, I can be reached via ed at howdoyoufigure.net. Thanks for visiting!
