Rated A++ by people who log onto my computer without my permission
Seen as a source of constant amusement by people who laugh a lot
Overwhelmingly, and by far, the most authoritative site for updated pics of ME (kind of)
Still considered to be a 'non-issue' by LucasFilm LTD and a 'negative threat domain' by Lucas' lawyers
Begrudgingly admitted to being superior to other chat room picture pages
by people who really don't want to argue the point any further, dammit
Halfassedly boasts to being one of the few places anywhere that has the entire
"Star Whores" parody hidden away on the site

Looking to move up in the world? Or at least move up in the Star Wars Chatters' page?
I've been tidying up the site and moving a few things around and there's some open spots
on a few pages if people want to move their pictures to a new location.
First come, first serve, based on availability, yada yada yada (or should that be 'Yoda?').
Anyway, get 'em while they're hot. Otherwise I'll just post new submissions in random spots as the mood
strikes me. Also, if it's not too much trouble, if you're sending in an UPDATED pic, try and let me know
that it is an update in your email message. Cuz, um, heh, I've been known to post double pics of people without
realizing it. (red face) This causes a lot of giggling around the chat water fountain, I'm sure, heh, but it makes me look
stupid... And I do NOT need anyone's help with that. :D

October 2002 News
Hi all. I updated the Yuuzhan Vong Dead Pool page: added new picks for the last year of
The New Jedi Order book series and a few winners (survivors), etc.
I added several pictures today, one that unfortunately laid idle
for far too long and I hadn't noticed it. My apologies again for that.
Star Wars Galaxies (delayed over a year from the initial release date) should be out in the first or second quarter of
next year (if you believe the rumors, and I don't). Personally, I'm more excited about The Sims Online.
I thought the news of Lucasfilm ratting out their little 'spy' who stole over $250,000 worth of Lucasfilm property
was interesting. Especially the fact that they wanted to blame him for turning over the
unfinished (but viewable) version of Episode II to "ain't it cool news." Unfortunately, they haven't as yet been able
to prove that he did that or connect him to it. If Lucasfilm didn't do it themselves, then they probably set the
poor shmuck up to do it, because that was pure diabolical advertising genius. I'm tellin' yah, George Lucas is a Sith Lord.

I haven't had a flurry of complaints about the site, but I suppose a word of mention is necessary.
Look, guys, I work at UPS and I'm not a webpage designer, ok? I just do this site for fun.
And if the site is featureless, frameless, windowless, and buttonless and, for the most part, Java-less, I'm sorry.
It's primitive (though, I prefer the term unimodal) nature allows it to be portable to
multiple operating systems and lots of different browsers.
That's a REALLY good excuse for me to remain in the Dark Ages as far as webmastering goes.
But look, I'm thinking of changing a few things.
Hopefully we'll see a more interesting site pop up in the next few weeks.
However, like I said, this isn't even a day job. It's a hobby.
I love doing it, and I hope all of you enjoy it as much as I do.
If only chatting held my interest as much... hahaha.

This is such a no-brainer I'm almost tempted to not even write about it... Almost.

Someone tried this week, (07, 16, 02), to submit a photo, (I won't go mentioning names), SEVEN times.
The attachment they sent, (SEVEN times), was a partial file that wouldn't open using anything.
(I won't even bother listing all of the graphics editors I have on my system, it would be embarrassing.)
Worse still, when I tried to let them know they needed to resubmit a *working* file type,
(ie. JPEG preferably or ANYTHING I can see to convert to JPEG),
their email address that they JUST used to send the pic SEVEN TIMES, (did I mention that?),
came back as non-existent. And they didn't even tell me what chat alias they use in the chat room so
I can go and find them and tell them to re-read "Email for Dummies." I just have a first name and I'm
NOT going to tell "Jessie" publicly that whoever, (Mike Dant), tried to send her photo, FAILED to do it correctly.
As that would be rude. ;)
And no, there didn't seem to be a virus attached to it, as that would have brought forth the Dark Side.

Usually, when I update or add someone's picture to the site I *try* to send them an email
letting them know it's been done and the proper link where they can witness their greatness online.
The only times I don't are when 1) I'm really, really lazy and I forget to do it, or 2) I'm such a nerf herder
that I deleted your email accidentally after saving your picture and lost your return email address
(this is true for someone who posted their picture recently) or 3) there really isn't a third reason, it's always
the first one, actually. Rarely, if ever, the second one. But things sound soooo much better in three's, don't they?;)

Those of you that know you know me, (as opposed to those of you that think you do),know that I have a
devilish, (some might say, degenerate), streak, (more like a canyon, really), in me. For those of you that are fans
of this streak,(in its WRITTEN form, mind you), you will be happy to know that I am in the process of adding the next
three installments to the Star Whores saga, (loosely based on AoTC). Coming to a galaxy soon, and, (oddly enough)
hosted by *THIS* very site, (though hidden away somewhere). Look for it soon, and hell, try looking for it at all.;)

I updated the site a bit, streamlining the images so that their file sizes weren't so big.
Things should load faster for those of us with slower connection speeds. Also, I added
a new page for the site *news* since it really is only me babbling on about useless stuff of
very little relevance to anyone else. ;) Plus, it was taking up A LOT of space on the index.

It's OUT, and it's AWESOME. Go see it a couple times before you decide what you think...

Three weeks left... If you're a conspiracy theorist like me, then you probably have already discerned
that the 'sneak peek' article in "Ain't it Cool? News" about Star Wars Episode II was nothing
more than LucasFilm propaganda to get the mainstream fans excited about the movie and give them some
faith to believe things are going to get better and not worse... I mean, there wasn't anything new there.
No real spoilers. Everything mentioned has already been alluded to on the Star Wars site
or could be gleaned from available trailers. That smells of propaganda. To me. But I'm like that.

If you are like me then you've sat through other movies for almost a year now and every time
you've seen an Episode II trailer you've closed your eyes and quietly prayed,
"Please, don't suck. Please don't suck!"
Still, it seems the opinions expressed in that article were confirmed in a new
Time Magazine article dedicated to Star Wars and Darth Lucas.
Maybe all those prayers haven't been in vain.
Personally, though, I think Episode II will rule the Summer. Go Kit Fisto!!!
