Great things about Cowboy Bebop, part 1.

I've been so busy working on the moving blog, that I haven't had much to say here. But this article about opening sequences that fit their shows perfectly inspired me to share. Somewhere in between all the shows I had never watched (and a few I had) was the lone Japanese Anime of the list. Surrounded by shows like The Sopranos, Freaks and Geeks, The 4400, and Charlie's Angels was Cowboy Bebop. I found myself nodding. Yeah, that was an awesome show opener, wasn't it? That's something that I really loved about Cowboy Bebop. This anime about bounty hunters pulls you in with a rockin' jazz piece, and a mix of flashy bright colors and character silhouettes. It was the same for the Cowboy Bebop movie, which wasn't nearly as good as the series, but still pulls you in with a catchy opening sequence. In fact, I think the opening sequence of the movie may be one of my favorite parts.

This is the show's opener:


This is the movie's opener:

Argh.

Figures. The Wikipedia editor who told everyone he was a professor and turned out to be lying is from Kentucky.

Youtube funny

There's a series of videos on YouTube that parody the Mac vs. PC commercials. In them, a librarian and an "IT Professional" learn that they might not be so different afterall. This one is my favorite. <3

Library 2.0 Network

Ever wanted to try out social networking, but you're intimidated by sites like Myspace? One of the coolest trends starting up now are sites that allow you to create your own social network, on any topic you choose. (For example, I discovered a site called RenSpace the other day, for Renaissance faire enthusiasts.) Well now there's one for Library 2.0 Librarians! Over here, you can create your own profile, and share with other librarians. Check it out!

(And friend me here.)
