As most of you already know Google officially announced the Nexus One, a phone made for Google. A phone that has what it takes to topple the iPhone, but I just can't make myself feel too excited for it. I've been waiting a long time for the Google Phone to come out, but now that it's here I feel less than enthusiastic about this amazing phone. Not quite sure why, it has everything that I would ever want in a phone. It has an amazing browser, it's design is very sexy, and tons of apps. Yet I don't feel very jazzed about it's arrival. Maybe it's because of Google's nonexistent advertisement or maybe it's just because of where my head is at at the moment.
How about you geeklings, what are you're thoughts on the Nexus One?

10 Anime Inspired New Year's Resolutions
Ohayo!
This geek girl is looking at the new year in complete and total anticipation. I can’t wait to get started!
Er…I’m ahead of myself again. You’re probably wondering what in the world I’m up to. Simple! It’s goal-making. The number one favorite pastime of people entering into a brand new year.
This year I’m making some goals totally anime inspired. Why? Because it’s time to cave to the inner otaku. And besides, there are some totally cool things I’ve been wanting to do thanks to anime.
In no order whatsoever, so don’t even try to figure these out:
1. Dedicate time to my harp. By the end of this year I want to have at least four songs completely memorized. Watching Beck lately has made me want to really commit to my music and while harp playing isn’t the least thing like rock music…the ability to create something for others to enjoy certainly is something truly special.
2. Visit an anime convention. It’s been a few years but Comic Party just calls me to haunt artist’s alley and explore all there is to enjoy at a con. Who’s with me on this one?
3. Do housework with a smile and the realization that this is a way to express your love for those around you. Sappy, yeah, but Ai Yori Aoshi always hits me that way…
4. WRITE! Read or Die shows very clearly what happens to writers who spend years staring at the blank page and not moving forward. It’s certainly time to get back on the wagon. My specific goal here is to complete four novels by the end of the year. (When I grow up I want to be Nenene!)
5. Take charge of the masses. Honestly, my kids can rival the anarchy of Infinite Ryvius. And we all know what happens when you allow that much leniency!
6. Pay attention to those around me. Kanon taught me the joy of looking out for those around you, and doing what you can to make their way easier.

7. Improve my aim. I used to be a pretty decent archer once upon a time…and have enjoyed my occasional forays into the world of LARP both in sword and quarterstaff. Seriously, if you’re going to fight, fight well. Or not at all. Sailor Moon anyone?
8. Not be so negative. Ayane in Gatekeepers 21 almost destroyed the world thanks to her inner dialogue. This means being a whole lot more patient.
9. Remember that every story has two sides. Risky Safety taught me that one.
10. Lastly…connect with other fans, people who speak my language. After all, what does isolation breed but a bad version of Welcome to the NHK?
It’s going to be a great year. Gambatte everyone!
What has anime inspired you to do?
