What, who, where am I?!?
Craig Lotter is a web developer based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa, who seems completely incapable of shaking off that pesky inner child within, the one that forces him to love all things animated or hand drawn.
The Rugged Rock of Craig contains snippets of his life, popular culture and all the important things like anime, manga, games and comic books. The CodeUnit of Craig on the other hand contains the more serious stuff like code snippets and tutorials, while the House of C chronicles his foray into the world of web comics.
For which it never seems he has enough time anyway.

Anime Download: Strike Witches
The first television anime series for Strike Witches was released back in 2008 and surprised everyone by gaining immense popularity rather quickly and rather vigorously. Why? Well apart from the unusual yet strangely satisfying mishmash of genres that make up the story of Strike Witches, it also gained a lot of followers for its unusual stance on pants – or rather lack of pants – for its all female crew of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing.
