Hey, I'm Franz, and this is my web page. Any
comments about my web page are always welcome, and I hope you like
it. Use the links on the left to navigate around my site. I've
been busy with school and soccer, and I'll add more stuff soon. This
site has information about gaming, technology, me, and other miscellaneous
items. Please sign the guestbook.
11 January 2003: Wow, it's been awhile since an update. The first semester of
college ended and I did well. The past three weeks I've been on
winter break at home, but I got an XBox, so I've been playing that a
little bit. I posted up some new games I have been playing.
ACE, I'm working on the mouse trail but you'll have to deal with it for
now. I go back to college in a week, and I should have more frequent
updates coming up.

September 2002: Classes started today. I'm only taking three classes, so it
shouldn't be too bad. I like college so far, and I've been to a few
parties.
29 August 2002: Today is my birthday, and I moved into college at UW-Madison. I'm
18, and the move-in went well.
12 August 2002: Hey. I saw Austin Powers
in Goldmember a couple weeks ago. Actually, I saw it twice
because it was so funny. If you haven't seen it yet, you
should. It's hilarious. XXX just came out, and I plan to see
that this week. The new audio system in my car was installed a few
weeks ago, and I put new pictures on the Sound
Domain member page.
13 July 2002: Well, the World Cup's been over for a little while now, and I was glad
that Brazil won. The 4th of July was fun again this year, and I've
been keeping busy putting a new audio system in my car. I have all
the components now: subwoofers, amp, new CD player, wire, fuses,
etc. If you want to keep tabs on my progress, you can visit my Sound
Domain member page. Right now I'm finishing up building the
ported enclosure for my two subwoofers. I'll put pictures on that
member page soon.

June 2002: Well, I've been keeping busy watching the World Cup. It'll be
interesting how the US does against Germany, and I was angry after watching
the Italy v. South Korea match. Italy should have won, and there were
lots of reasons why they lost. There are lots of World Cup sites, but
my two favorites are ESPNsoccernet.com
and BBC
Sport. Anyway, I hope Brazil or Germany goes all the way, and
here's a joke I received from a friend.
A young boy, battered by his parents, sits in court.
The judge asks the boy, whose parents are about to divorce, the
following:
- Judge: "Do you want to live with your father?"
- Boy: "No, he beats me."
- Judge: "Do you want to live with your mother?"
- Boy: "No, she beats me."
- Judge: "Who do you want to live with then?"
- Boy: "I want to live with the French soccer
team, because they don't beat anybody!"
Serves you right, France, for beating Brazil in '98!
27 May 2002: Sorry for the lack of updating. I graduated last Wednesday (May
22). I'm valedictorian of my class, and it's good to be
graduated. Now, I'm looking for a job for the summer before I leave
for UW-Madison in the fall. I've been looking at some Rockford
Fosgate subwoofers. If I get them, I might put a section of the
site about it. Peace out.

February 2002: Wow, it's been awhile since an update. Indoor Soccer starts in
March (finally), and I've been playing some PC games. I got FIFA
2002 for Christmas, and it's great. I also recently downloaded the
FCE Ultra NES Emulator.
Nothing's better than playing some classic Nintendo games like Bubble Bobble
and Tecmo Bowl. I also recently set up my new Canon
S500 Bubble Jet Printer that I got for Christmas. The speed and
print quality is excellent, and its price is very reasonable. It was
rated extremely well a couple months ago in PC
Magazine.
24 December 2001: Merry Christmas everyone! I'm glad that we got snow for
Christmas, here in Wisconsin. A Christmas just isn't Christmas
without snow, right?
9 December 2001: Sorry for the lack of updating. I've been busy with designing
some other sites, school, and learning some new apps I got. I plan
to add some stuff from Flash to the site (like an intro or
something). I've been playing the Return
to Castle Wolfenstein Multiplayer Demo, and I like the game a
lot. I had my parents purchase it today for Christmas. Circuit
City had the game on sale for $29.99 (Reg.
price is about $50).
27
November 2001: I sent in my application to Stanford
University. I listed this site on my application, so I hope they
take a look at it. :)
24 October 2001: I received a reply in the mail from UW-Madison.
I have been accepted into UW-Madison. Yay. :)
13 October 2001: Yesterday, I visited Madison to check out the campus. I also
attended the "Pledge of Allegiance" Tour Concert at the Alliant Energy
Center. Rammstein, System of A Down, Slipknot, and a few other bands
were there. Rammstein had some sweet fire effects, and the concert
was great.
11 October 2001: I made a few updates to the site. I added my senior picture to the
"About Me" section.
9 October 2001: I turned in my application to UW-Madison
to the Guidance Office at my school. I listed my web site on it, so if
you're an Admissions Counselor, feel free to find out more about me
especially.
29
September 2001: I finally finished the game, "Max
Payne," on the easiest
difficulty level. This game is so sweet. The graphics and gameplay
are unprecedented. Now, I'm going to play it on a higher difficulty
level.
----Need help with Max Payne? About.com
and ActionTrip
offer some tips.
22 September 2001: I started working on the new design for my site. So far, it's been
going well.
18 September 2001: Majestic is back up and running. If you don't know what Majestic
is, click the following link.
[Majestic (EA.com)]
12
September 2001: I started working on my application for Madison. [UW-Madison]
11
September 2001: Majestic has been suspended
in light of the acts of Terrorism out East.
4
September 2001: The new System of A Down CD, "Toxicity" has been
released. I bought the CD, and it's sweet. System of A Down has
songs on the CD that are than "Chop Suey!" Check out "Psycho,"
"Aerials," "Toxicity," and "Prison
Song" on KaZaA or some other
file sharing app, and then go out and buy
the CD; it's great. [www.systemofadown.com]
