Feb 3rd 1998: Well, I finally sent out stuff to Gordon Smuder that I've owed him since MicroCon back in July. I also sent out stuff to Aaron M. so I'm feeling mighty proud of myself.

I have two items of interest. Michael Jaecks sent me 2 pics of custom Micronauts he made. They are beautiful. Check them out here and here. I don't have a category that these fit neatly into on my page so they are here for the time being.

Also, relating to custom figures, I've removed The BIG Contest from my commercial page. Number of entries: 0 so, there you have it. I guess I'll have to proceed with my own custom Prince and Ette figures. I'll post pics of them when complete.

Last but not least, check the News.

Jan 22nd 1998: More Micronauts comic News.

Dec 22nd 1997: Two new pics for the Golden Gallery.

Dec 19th 1997: A new addition to the Golden Gallery. Just in time for Christmas.Corrected an error pointed out by Jack and Jackie.

Dec 18th 1997: The questions keep coming, I have a list of about 30 questions so far, I'd like to have 50 for the interview. Deadline is about Christmas so, keep 'em coming. We have a lot of good ones. Shon may be a bit too busy with our questions though, to get anything else done.

I changed the setup in my main page. I saw an ad show up that really offended me so... I tried to make it clear that the ad box is indeed an ad, not something I endorse. These ads appear in several places on my sight. I do not endorse any of them.

This just in, check the News on AF #10.

Dec 17th 1997: Well, the questions are poring in, some redundancy but overall just good, insightful questions. You have about a week if you want to submit a question for my interview with Shon C. Bury. Big Thanks to JACK who has sent in the most questions. I've tried to e-mail JACK but it keeps bouncing back so, THANKS JACK. For any of you who have written and not received replies I can only blame my e-mail account. Some of you have domains that automatically screen out e-mail from my service. I do reply to all my e-mail.

The interest in Micronauts is growing. I'm getting mail from all sorts of new people and site hits have tripled in the last week. Pick up those back issues now while they are still in the bargain bins.

An anonymous tipster says the artwork looks good on the new character sketches.

Dec 12th 1997: Golden Gallery is up and going (1 meg so far of interesting pieces) Join the cause is gone. The Revolution has been televised.

I'm interviewing Shon C. Bury for my web page and I'd like your questions. Send me your questions for the new

writer of Micronauts. I'll use the ones I like best and post the interview on my web page. I have a lot of questions already but I'm sure you people can come up with more.

Just e-mail me or leave the questions on my on-line answering machine. You don't need e-mail to use the answering machine.

Dec 11th 1997: News has some new stuff.

Dec 10th 1997: Some minor changes, new logo on MICROCHAT page. Rearranged the Christmas decorations on main page.

GeoCities has increased the space for this site from 10meg to 15 meg. The site currently takes up 6 meg. With this I intend to add a lot of stuff. I have my own ideas, tell me yours. A Michael Golden Gallery is almost a given. I intend to put up issue #4 of MICRONET The Comic soon (a preview of the cover is linked from this page further down). I'll put up pictures of my MICRONAUT cards I created when they are complete. So far not a single person has written to enter The Big Contest to win a deck of my MICRONAUT cards. Major disappointment there.

The Join the Cause section will be going soon. The Revolution has been won. There will be a new Micronauts comic. If you want to try something fun, go to Marvel's site and type in some trash at the end of the URL. You will get a pic of Bug saying "You have found a Bug".

***Last minute addition in the News section.***

Dec 8th 1997: Dressed up the site for the Holidays.

Dec 5th 1997: Added a pic of the MicroDucks from issue #6 of HTD Mag. Also put Bug # 1 in the Micronauts issue 1 covers. These are both in the Museum.

Dec 4th 1997: More on the clones, and a ToyFare poll in the News.

Dec 2nd 1997: I plan to be in the MICROCHAT room around 10pm est this evening. Everyone is welcome to stop by and chat a while. The general topic is, of course, Micronauts but feel free to talk about whatever's cool. Remember you must have a JAVA capable browser to use the chat room. Also, I will check the chat room around lunch (noon est) on most work days so if it's easier for you then stop by will do lunch. Feel free to e-mail me (or anyone else for that matter) and schedule a time to hook up in the chat room. There's no password just type in your name and click connect.

Dec 1st 1997: Just in time for Christmas new Red Falcon Clones in the News. I now have a chat room called MICROCHAT. Use it to talk about all manner of micro-related issues. It's a lot cheaper than long distance.

Nov 25th 1997: More great News. I've also added a guestbook for public messages and an answering machine for private messages to me on the main page.

Nov 21st 1997: The Big Contest is no on my Commercial site. Next week some time I will be adding a secret link on my page (at this site) to a pic of Mantlo and Golden from and old ish of Howard The Duck. I won't say which day, just some time next week, for the fun of it.

GeoCities is still having hiccups from its recent server move please be patient during upload. Also, GeoCities is inserting commercials during page loading. I'm real sorry about that. If we all complain a lot it will stop. Many of us at GeoCities already show commercials on our site as it is. I don't want to move to another server but these problems may make it a necessity.

Nov 18th 1997: A whole host of new comic book related links in the Links page. I may start a contest on my commercial page soon. I can't do it on GeoCities because it does not fit within their content guidelines so you'll have to check there. My counter is going haywire due to the new location of GeoCities. I've had it show up as 0000 visitors as well as 3 million plus, the actual figure should be closer to 4600. It should be fixed soon.

Nov 13th 1997: Alien art in the News. EXTRA EXTRA this just in check the News for more on a new Micronaut comic.

Nov 12th 1997: A buggy video game. Check the Museum for more.

Nov 11th 1997: Minor tweaking during the last few days. Some of you may have thought my page was gone due to problems at GeoCities. Whenever you see "Oops File Not Found" just check the "Announcements" on that page if you'd like to see the GeoCities Status. This will help determine when problems may be fixed. If they haven't posted any problems feel free to mail them and let them know you had trouble accessing my page.

GeoCities has moved to another server to "improve" service. During the last three days my page has been off and on frequently and my counter stopped working almost entirely during the weekend. Please be patient.

I'm not likely to go away. I still have a cliff hanger to resolve in MICRONET the comic.

Thanks for your patience.

Well, it's been over a week since issue #1 of MICRONET the comic was completed.
I'm looking for comments on what you thought. The first five people who write in with their thoughts on the comic can receive an e-mailed copy of issue #2's cover. It is nearly 600 k and therefore much larger and better than the one I'll be placing on my page when issue #2 starts. If you have some thoughts to share and the e-mail space to receive it, let me know what you thought, and please state if you'd like the jpg e-mailed to you.
