Kimono

So we did it. Here is my 2 1/2 year old son in a little Kimono.

The obi is very poor. In order to have it done for the anime con I just grabbed a contrasting color fabric (fleece sadly). Kenji really liked the spinning to put on and take off the obi. As expected he did not wear it a long time, so we had regular clothes under his outfit.

This was at Sakuracon 2010, the kimono is a vintage kimono from http://www.ichiroya.com/ . 

For future costuming it is great to have a real kimono that you can see how it is made.

Some additional pics from our Sakuracon trip and stories coming later. 

What Kind of Geek am I?

I am a geek, I saw this image showing pictures of a bunch of different geeks a long time ago, but it relates to the blog so I wanted to mention what kinds of fandom I consider myself to be a part of. Or in other words what kind of geek I am. Geek is an odd word and I may use it loosely, as my geek cred in all fandoms may not be of the highest quality. I still identify with the groups so they will be included here.

http://myextralife.com/56geeks/ to buy the poster from the artist.

So here is the brief list.

Star Trek Geek

Star Wars Geek

Cosplay Geek

Anime/Manga Geek

Apple Geek

Former RPG Geek (Haven't actually played in years, ah the days of WEG Star Wars)
Food Geek 

Or using the more arcane Geek Code (not all categories used, some are outdates, some I don't care) They of course need to reexamine it for XML to include more geek subcultures. Where do I put down my thoughts on Stargate or the new Battlestar Galactica. Of course you would need a better understanding of RDF and XML than I have to create one or extend one.

Blogger Test

Testing Blogger/Google Docs integration.

Now test edits in Google Docs, do they carry over??

This seems to work a lot more seamless than publishing a wave, though a wave would be good for comments as opposed to another method.

Now to test images.

Not that anyone reads this.

I am going to try to revive this blog.

As part of that I will be using this entry to test some things regarding how I go about creating posts. Ignore my dust.
