Reporter's Inside Stories article featuring Tapper is posted, plus there's an ongoing
"story board comic" at the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf Short Stories
section called "Smurfed Behind: The Departure" (which has NOTHING TO DO with

A 17-page "comic book" storyboard for the first chapter of "Where No Smurf
Has Gone Before" has been posted, along with a story outline for "'Dreamy's
Pen Pals' Reinterpreted".

celebration of the Smurfs, a recent Reuters.com article reports

It's finally happened — my beloved Adam Family Computer System, which I had
for the past 21 years, has finally joined the dearly departed among game
systems and computers that I and/or my family have owned. So now I
have a dozen or so ColecoVision game cartridges that do not have any system
to play them on. Then again, I also recently purchased a Nintendo DS
Lite handheld system in black with Super Mario 64 DS as the first DS
game to break the system in with. The Videogames page has now
been updated to reflect the changes of the systems I own.
For those looking forward to Kingdom Come,
the latest of the LEFT BEHIND books which follows Glorious
Appearing, to come out in March as originally scheduled, Tyndale
House Publishing has pushed its release date to April.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2006
Nothing new going on with the site, but I'd thought to share this:
For all the popularity the game show Jeopardy
has had over the years, isn't it strange that nobody but me (and maybe
some of you out there) even notices that its theme song sounds like that
of the nursery rhyme song, "I'm A Little Teapot"?
First, listen to this MIDI of
"I'm A Little Teapot", then listen to the MIDI
of the Jeopardy theme song.
Then tell me if they don't sound very similar to each
other.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2006

Testing out new navigation window menus for the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf stories,

Not related to any updates on the site, but news nonetheless: if you wanted
to have the entire original Star Wars trilogy (Episodes IV to VI) on DVD the
way they were originally in the theatres — minus the "touch-ups"
George Lucas gave them for the 1997 Special Edition releases and also for

releasing them on DVD individually this coming September, with each
movie being a 2-disk set that will include both the original and the 2004

THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 2006
A long-need update to the Profile page was done, which includes a
picture of my new nephew Damien (not my choice of a name; it's my
half-brother's fault). Meanwhile, my brother's site The Character G
(or TCG-Comic) is undergoing changes. Right now, the only thing
you can do there is play with "virtual refrigerator magnets".
TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 2006
The self-publishing website Lulu.com link is now added to the Miscellaneous Sites section
of the Links page.

on the wall" to keep believers aware of what's going in on Christendom.
TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 2006
Gone and went through the painful process of moving across town to my new
(physical) address, and having to trade up computers again, since my last
computer started getting into endless "warm-up" loops, but everything's
getting settled now.
Some new links have been added to the Links page, including one to my brother's site.
Also, the Quarter Bin sites are closed, and their links are now
replaced with those for Monitor Duty (formerly Fanzing) and Comic
Book Resources, and some of the Utilities Websites links such as
Angelfire and 250Free.com are now deleted.
The
Big Picture Gallery is now being expanded upon and will continue to be
expanded upon with more original (and Smurf-related) pictures.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2006
A new welcome screen has been added due to the fact that the Imaginarium has now been upgraded for use with higher resolution screens rather than the original
800 x 600 pixel resolution that it was designed for. So if you are still using 800 x 600 screen resolution, you can now choose to see the site without having it
being "letterboxed" as it is for higher resolution screens. Of course, there's still some work that needs to be done in order for the lower-res crowd to be able
to see everything in this site without problems.
Also, all of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf stories now have accessible Adobe Acrobat file versions that you can read if you have Adobe Acrobat installed
on your computer.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2006
