greets!

hoping my new signature logo is moderately pleasing to one and all!
it's 100% vector, so it's scaleable to huge without pixelation.
the calligraphy loosely means, warrior, fighter, soldier. --- or breaker of PCs. --- either way.
the red circle is, of course, the rising sun.
the text for, "temmu" is based on the manga steel font

anyway, there it is!
and here's a larger version that shows off a little more detail...

Nicely done, Temmu!

But I thought you fixed PCs (that your customers broke)?

I don't want temmu touching my Macs with his katana.

Nice sig Temmahh!

[Temmu]

?

[sunrat]

Not into South Park, huh? Just a play on words.
I do really like your sig logo thingy.

[Temmu]

sorry, i'd missed the point... yeah, southpark, i've seen a couple of them... thought they were clever! but really not much time for tv, et al.

and thanks, glad you like it... figured i'd try something styled after manga, the japanese stories illustrated by hand.

[LilBambi]

For those not familiar with manga, you can even read them online for free.

[Temmu]

thanks, lilbambi!
and the japanese read them for free at their corner convenience store.

[LilBambi]

Well, sure...but I am not gonna be able to do that ... Would deeply increase the cost of getting the publications...even if they are free.

[Temmu]

that's the strange thing, no store in japan minds its patrons flocking to the magazine aisle and reading its contents.
i suppose it would be up to some to continue buying the series in order to make manga profitable, otherwise how would it be?

[LilBambi]

Time to read Chris Anderson's book that I reviewed recently: Free: The Future of a Radical Price and get his audiobook version for free!

Saw a great Japanese movie last night... Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai, which, oddly enough, is the movie on which the American western The Magnificent Seven was based.

[Temmu]

that is one of the best movies ever made. i saw it as a young boy, and again as a teen. if i had the opportunity, i would certainly get some oriental take out and watch it again!

[abarbarian]

I saw that back in the 70's when auntie beeb did a series of foriegn films on the new BBC2. Thought it was epic then and still do. Channel 4 or 5 just did a series of Kurosawa films 7 I think spread over several weeks. They were most enjoyable especialy,

https://en.wikipedia.../Yojimbo_(film)

Yojimbo is one of my favourites and many modern western films have been made using the theme which funnily enough used a western novel as its inspiration.

[LilBambi]

Enjoyed both of those movies very much!

[V.T. Eric Layton]

I'll have to check out Yojimbo when I get a chance.

I had seen The Seven Samurai two or three times before. I think the first time I saw it was back in my teen years. It's one of the few movies with captions where having to read the captions did NOT take anything away from the movie itself. Good stuff!

[abarbarian]

The anime series Samurai 7 is brilliant aswell.
