Commenting on anime blogs

Even though I started my own blog and became familiar with the blogshere in late ’06, I’ve only been commenting regularly on blogs, my own and others, within the past couple of years…

Web browser tabs and me

One web browser feature I’ve been using a lot for the past few years is tabs. However, much to my surprise, most of the people I’ve met don’t use them, at least not as much as I do…
