What this blog is about:

download OperaMy name is Lawrence Eng, and I work for Opera Software. This is one of my two blogs.

Opera Otaku is devoted specifically to Opera-related topics. lainspotting is my general blog (devoted to otaku studies, science, technology, and (sub)culture). Every once in awhile, however, there will be some crossover posts. I also post occasionally on Choose Opera. Please feel free to join that group.

If you found this blog while searching for my otaku studies research, please proceed to the following webpage: Lawrence Eng's Anime Fandom Research. My primary website is Lawmune's Netspace.

Thanks for reading; I hope you find something interesting here.

Announced today, the Opera Web Standards Curriculum is part of Opera Education, Opera's outreach program for universities, schools, and other educational institutions. The curriculum is an amazing resource, and it's all free. I think I'll spend part of my summer vacation improving my Web development skills! :smile:

Going to BarCamp

This Saturday, I'll be at BarCamp San Diego 3. I'll be talking to people about Opera, of course.



We're also a sponsor, as is Microsoft. In fact, this BarCamp is being held at Microsoft's San Diego office. Should be interesting :wink:
