| July 24, 2005 New section in Video Games plus more Video Games has received its weekly update. Check out the news, more links, sticker of the week, etc. Also, don't miss the debut of the new sub-section, Kollector's Korner! Spielberg talks about Transformers movie A new Transformers movie is in the works (coming in 2007), produced by Steven Spielberg. This could be cool! He talks about the movie project on this page. [link] July 17, 2005 Updates and more As requested, the Slapshot Rock section has an update. More will be coming as I figure out some media issues. As always, Video Games has an update (at least weekly). I ask a question in the forums about podcasting. All those interested, please join the conversation. Thanks! July 13, 2005 STARCADE controversy coming to a conclusion I've been in correspondence for a while now with JM Production Company, the producers of the 1980s TV show STARCADE. They are the ones who politely asked me to remove my "parody" page on STARCADE. Even though we have our differences about what we think is funny, we are remaining cordial in the process. I took the STARCADE page down temporarily out of respect to them while I modify it. I hope to have it back up soon. Thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter. Slight update for midweek Video Games has lots more "tidbits," and my Disclaimer page has a little more info to it as well. More people are joining in the forums. Thanks to those who've signed up so far! I've noticed a severe lack of submissions to Borgine. Want to make a work of art for everyone to see? Submit your own Borgnine creation today! July 10, 2005 STARCADE down due to controversy Out of respect to certain anonymous parties, the STARCADE section will be temporarily disabled, due to creative differences. I apologize to all the fans for this inconvenience. The Video Games section is updated. I've gotten many requests for updates to Slapshot Rock, so I plan on doing this next. Have a great week! July 7, 2005 Stern and Borgnine: Wedding Crashers? Thanks to Whimsical Phil in the Trickman Times Forums, we have ended the mystery of the whereabouts of Nicholas Stern and Ernest Borgnine (Well, not really). Click here to see them in their new movie! Cheap thrills: iPod Shuffle I picked up a cheap iPod Shuffle and I'm quickly getting addicted to downloading podcasts! Podcasting is a new feature for the latest update of Apple's iTunes program. Click here to learn more about it. July 4, 2005 Happy 4th of July! I hope all of you are able to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends. That's what I'm going to do. The picture of the moment has been updated, as well as VIDEO GAMES where I have opened up a new sub-section called Rehash Alley. I will be featuring vintage remakes in this section that you can play on your computer. Enjoy! June 26, 2005 Borgnine finished - plus more updates Well, the Borgnine section is finally finished. A few other things are updated and moved around, such as Basement Bash (now under the "Gaming Basement" link in Video Games, and instead of "E-mail me" on the buttons to the left, there is a "Contact Me" button which is a much better contact page with a form, gamertags, etc. There's more, so look around and have fun. Forums are sparse right now, but I'm in there nearly every day to check on them. Join up and talk about whatever you like! June 20, 2005 More sections are updated Borgnine is still in the works, but the pages are nearly complete. I've also been working on improvements to the video games section...check it out! New sub-sections in video games will debut soon. Weekend traffic increase I was pleased to see a weekend traffic increase to the site. Traffic almost tripled over launch day, (which was the previous heaviest traffic day). If you're spreading the word about The Trickman Times, I thank you very much. I hope to give you a site that you can come back to and enjoy every once in a while. So have fun, join the forums and talk about the different sections of the site with other members. June 15, 2005 Fixin' the Broken Stuff My apoligies for the broken links and pages that take you to a bandwidth donation site. I was not expecting this much traffic with the debut of the new site, and I hadn't planned for a virtual meltdown of some of the pages either! But, increased traffic is good, and I thank you all for visiting. So, for the last couple of days I've been frantically fixing the broken links and moving missing pages over to a new server, while sometimes having to re-do some of the elements. It won't be long...most everything works as of now. Borgnine is pretty much the last of the re-dos, and it will be active soon. Thanks for your patience!
