Hey guys - sorry I haven't been around much this past week or so, it's been pretty busy here and I've been burned out. If you missed it, there's a new article up about the Ninja Turtles Anti-Drug Commercial, and another coming by tonight, or by morning the latest.

We're (I say 'we're' meaning me and Mike, the guy who does the more fancy main page graphics and design) currently in the midst of a massive redesign project for the site. The change is pretty drastic, but I think you'll get used to it fairly quickly since the articles will be way more organized and purdy. The main and archive pages themselves will look a lot 'cleaner,' too. It's been a pretty arduous task of trial and error and working with lots of templates for the past month and a half or so, but we've finally made some serious progress. You might see some of the changes today if the pace keeps up.

Oh yeah, tomorrow's my birthday. How old am I going to be? Too old to write about He-Man. But the same could be said on my last birthday, so no worries.

Have a Funk’n good birthday and if you’re good I might send my blessings upon you. And George (Clinton) might show up too! But still Happy Birthday

What everyone else has been saying — have a great birthday, dude! The TMNTs themselves will be around to celebrate with you in pers…turtle this weekend with the first ep of their new show. They’ll be a little late, but still, how tubular is that? Everyone loves you, guy :D D

Dude, I remember that TMNT Drug Ad from a long ass time ago, and reading your review made it all the funnier. Good stuff..

Oh yeah, and happy b-day to ya.

Holy christ in heaven! The re-do of the site looks fabulous! I was wondering what was keeping you out of action for so many days. Really, it looks spectacular! Big props to you and Mike! Keep up the good work!

Going along with this thread’s themes of birthdays and smoking pot, Matt was born on the same day as Bob Marley. (though obviously not the same year)

Also, Axl Rose, but you know. Nothing to be proud of. He’s fat now and doesn’t have any eyebrows.

Feliz Cumpleanos, cheif.

I don’t like change myself either, but if the archives are working I will live with it, and if the new design doesn’t have as many pop-ups I’m down with it. Matt, if you are too old to write about He-Man and the other stuff featured here, then I am certainly too old to be reading about it, but I read all the same…

The advent calendar is gone!

I’ll never know what happened to the Mare Winninghams!

Chestnuts roasted by bob @ 02/06/2003 9:18 AM

BAH! it’s all UGO-ified. bleh. I never really liked UGO’s site design. Oh well. As long as we don’t get those gigantic ad frames in the middle of articles I think I can deal.

Happy birthday.

It’s also riddled with secrets. There’s eight mystery mp3 links hidden in one of the subsections.

Matt, I’ve been a long time reader of this site, and I have to say, your review of the TMNT Anti Drug commercial thing made me laugh until I cried. Thank you so much. You’re the best.

Chestnuts roasted by Kelly @ 02/06/2003 10:49 PM

I remember this commercial very, very vividly. I remember thinking when I was little that it was really mean to not even talk to a drug dealer. I knew not to do drugs and that they were bad, but somehow that seemed unreasonably cruel to my young mind.

Matt-
I know I’m a little late, but happy birthday! I’ve been reading this site for some time. 2 years? 3 years? I don’t know. It’s great, you are great, and I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Chestnuts roasted by Sara-Jane @ 02/09/2003 9:55 AM

First of all Happy B-Day. Secondly, to comment on the post, I have to disagree with the change. This new design feels more artifical. The other site designs you had, had something more, a certain gensequa (okay so i don’t know french).
