         <title>&apos;Speed Racer&apos; leads Hollywood&apos;s latest charge: Anime adaptations</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="speed-racer-article.jpg" src="http://www.michaelpinto.com/images/speed-racer-article.jpg" width="400" height="238" /></p>

<p>Here's the section of the article with my quote from the May 1st article in USA Today:</p>

<p><i>Racer won't suffer from a lack of fan familiarity. The question, says Michael Pinto of anime.com, is whether the Wachowskis have the craftsmanship they demonstrated in 1999's The Matrix, which was partly inspired by Akira and Shell.</p>

<p>"They won over a lot of anime fans with the first one, and disappointed a lot of them with the sequels," Pinto says. "They're obviously fanboys. People want them to regain that touch, because it could open the door for more anime."</i></p>

         <title>Star Blazers Chronicles: The Superfans</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Star Blazers Chronicles: The Superfans" src="http://www.michaelpinto.com/images/starblazers.jpg" width="400" height="140" /></p>

<p>Here's a highlight of an interview with myself and Brian Cirulnick from April 2007 at <a href="http://starblazers.com">StarBlazers.com</a>:</p>

<p><i>"Even though technology makes things so much easier today, what amazes me is how little changes; the ability to write well, be creative and have social skills are just as valuable today as they were back then. Although I should say that without the ability to download a video via iTunes or order a toy via eBay we all managed to get much more exercise than we do today, and that may not be a good thing. I think the lack of an internet made people more sociable and willing to travel across the nation to meet each other, which added a bit of adventure to that early scene."</i></p>

         <title>Exclusive Interview: Michael Pinto of Fanboy.com</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="blogsolid: Exclusive Interview: Michael Pinto of Fanboy.com" src="http://www.michaelpinto.com/images/blogsolid.jpg" width="400" height="92" /></p>

<p>Here's a highlight of my interview from September 26th, 2007 at Blogsolid:</p>

<p><i>"I think of the blog as a way of sharing images I want my friends to see, sort of like curating an art show or programming a video room at a science fiction convention. I also feel that the role of a critic is to show people what they like, rather than rant about things that they don’t like."</i></p>

<p>So I'm chilling out by looking through the ad section Daily Motion, by pure luck I spot <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/cluster/ads/video/xw5jz_pub-firefox-burned">a Firefox ad</a> and figure I should post it to <a href="http://www.digg.com/software/Firefox_TV_Commercial">Digg</a>. In less than an hour my story is on the homepage! <em>Not a shabby way to start 2007...</em></p>]]></description>

         <title>2016: A Peek at Our Internet Future</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="NOW on PBS" src="http://www.michaelpinto.com/images/NOW-on-PBS.jpg" width="400" height="70" /></p>

<p>Here's a quote from my May 2nd, 2006 essay <i>2016: A Peek at Our Internet Future</i> for the TV show NOW on PBS:</p>

<p><i>"The biggest shift over the next ten years will be one of attitude, as our mindset of "going online" is replaced by one of "being online". This change has already started, as telephones and televisions become more integrated with the Net, and connectivity will grow to include everything from your morning alarm clock to the book you read before falling asleep at night. The "Internet" will no longer be a destination, but the essential glue that holds our world together."</i></p>
