How's Hatena?

Hey Hatena.

My first time ever using the username J29736 I believe was on Hatena. I created the account for that animation website. Nowadays I shorten J29736 to J2 cause it sounds a bit cooler. I got the idea at a Project M tournament.

When I was younger my dad always suggested the idea to me to start a blog. I guess I never really thought about doing something like this until I grew more and more skeptical of big social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Hatena is one of those brands that I actually trust. Hatena and Nintendo are probably the two companies that I trust more than anyone else. Is that dumb? Is it irrational to despise companies like Apple because they command so much of the world around us? I'm not even sure if they're actually a bad company but I've heard slave workers make iPhones. Think about how many people own an iPhone........... Just a sliver of corruption in a big powerful company like that could mess with the entire world.

I'm starting to think that the most powerful people are simply the ones that can overpower the ones that came before them. Maybe that's where Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and maybe Microsoft are at this point.

But Microsoft computers are kinda versatile right? I mean you can kinda do whatever the hell you want with them. But so are Mac computers apparently.

The NSA is very real. I wonder if I can limit how much information it collects on me. Does a Proxy work? VPN?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you Hatena for not selling my information and I'm happy you're still alive despite what I believe was having to close multiple of your services to stay afloat. There's a fly hitting my ceiling repeatedly (I hope that's a fly) but I'm gonna keep typing anyway and try to ignore it. It's incredibly distracting. I would kill it so I wasn't so stressed about it but killing isn't really my thing.

Today I put to rest NFH. I talked on the website about why I had to stop manually converting every single animation, suggested that my users can upload whenever they want to as long as I don't have to convert for them, but it just feels weird trying to figure out how I'm gonna direct my energy from here. I have a beautiful apartment now after working at it for several months, but I have lots of projects I wanna work on now. There's this card game I've been working on that plays really nice and I'm proud of that. There's also this RPG game that I'm working on with a friend or a few. And there's this amazing story that my other friend is working on. Not to mention that I'm sort of helping port a video game from one region to another but I'm not sure if I have the ability to help as much as they want me to or if I can even fit it in my schedule with the rest of my other projects. Trying to learn spanish too... and draw... and travel.

NFH was the one thing I always worked on aside from my school work back when I was in school. It was very streamlined. But now I've taken on all these other projects... I'm probably just gonna work on learning sprite art to work on the RPG project.

Aside from that my life is pretty good.
