Katrina is now an official New Yorker, with an ID and everything.

Her trip to Texas was postponed for a bit.

Also, I've started an NES rom hack. It's a really useless hack of the original Super Mario Brothers, and I've changed half the graphics. I don't know if I want to stop at just graphics replacement, or actually mess with the maps or gameplay.

I've got a couple of new quiz results up.

Pod-Six is jerks!

Friday was a very thin 2600 meeting. View some of the more useless activities Murd0c captured on video, on his site.

If you're reading this, you've found my site's new home! My years on Kracked were great, but those doors have been closed. However, Micah (the Kracked master) was a great host for a long time, and put up with a lot from me, and it was and is very much appreciated. Stay cool, Micah!

Now, I have the rocktastic Calimar to thank for my web space. Woo! And again, woo!

Additionally, I've split my "Sealab 2021" page off of my personal site. It now resides at http://pod-six.net, and I have lots of good stuff planned for it in future.

The only downside... the move has caused it to lose its Google status as the #1 Sealab site (not counting the official one.) Ah well, I can now set my sights on reclaiming that title...

New home found!

My site will soon reside at http://rtf.phonelosers.org. Good old EvilCal!

I'm going to get a separate domain for my Sealab site, since that's taken off big-time and I'd like to top-level it.
