StSanders

This guy is best known, as far as I can tell, for his hilarious music video and guitar shred spoofs.
Take this one from his website, a new take on the Rolling Stones... or, Passing Stones:

But I also thought this Darth Vader bit was hysterical. About half way through in particular.

The Best Worst Fantasy Novel Covers

Done by Chris Bucholz, a Contributing Editor at Cracked, who writes the hilarious blog Robotman!

I thought his article from March 19th 2007 was really funny: http://www.cracked.com/article_14790_p2.html

So, it's an old video

Sue me!



I like it.

I don't understand though, I thought Gears of War (a 2 year old game) was $19.99 everywhere. Last time I looked it was. But it's back up to $30, $40 or even $50.

Why the fluctuating price?
Did somebody buy every single copy of the game and corner the market, or what?

I am now a dot com

I invite you to check out my gleaming, new website. Provided by yola.com, the process was simple (drag-and-drop) and you can do a surprising amount of stuff with the default styles available.
Or, like me, you can customize a bit. What's the point of having a writing/art site and not making your own banner?

There are no pesky ads thrown in, either, which is a big plus. The people who visit my site won't curse my name for having Viagra pop-ups bombard them for twelve minutes straight.
However, there is the option to integrate ads into your site using Google's AdSense.
I like the freedom of choice.

Best part? FREE!

I recommend yola.com if you want a website, don't know a programming language and don't have the time to learn one at the moment, don't want to buy an expensive program. It's easy and with a little finagling, you can do some pretty cool things.
I'm still learning myself, though.

The bones of the website are up, and now I needs to add the organs, muscle-tissue, epidermal layer... Metaphor too far?
There's even a page for The Rebirth of Rhin, in case I haven't assaulted your eyes enough with messages about that book.

But anyway, take a look: http://juliantraas.yolasite.com/

Comments are welcome and encouraged!

Experimenting with this "Widget" stuff

Apparently, now my pals on facebook and those who visit my website (once it's online) will be able to see my posts the VERY INSTANT they are created.

Just testing to see if it works, don't mind me.
