I'm so glad I was directed to this video by my business partner. We're in the process of building a tutoring business and could really use insight and direction from those with technological prowess. It's equally awesome that your nephew is the founder of OPODZ! I'd consider it an amazing privilege to meet you someday! Again, thanks for posting this interesting video!

Joe Penna sighting at 3:52! Great video!

20 years ago, I was in the LA area for a convention and just randomly talking to people, found it really hard to find someone who could speak any English. I was in Brussels and, far and away, could find more people who could speak English than in LA.

At first I thought that Ryo Takei was George's son, then I remembered that he's gay. Anyway, LA seems like a cool city, and I'd like to visit there some time.
