Also, I still don't have an email for about 1-2 more days. Please hold all emails until I get an email address.


August 24, 2004

August 3, 2004
9:22 AM PST

A big update today, but not THE big update. Due to people continually sending in pictures, I haven't been able to touch my Northern Arizona pictures yet. 52 new photos in 7 states covers today's updates. Also, starting to make it's way to the site are average traffic daily numbers. This number is not for train traffic. The number represents an average number of cars going across that particular crossing in one day. This feature will slowly be added to the site as time progresses. There are also 3 new road signs posted as well.

August 1, 2004
9:19 PM PST

12:54 PM PST

I'm finally on broadband access today. My old AOL email address is no longer functional. My new one is smjh1979@commspeed.net. Please adjust your address books accordingly.

June 14, 2004
9:31 PM PST

Another 8 hour delay in updating the website due to Qwest phones making a huge mistake in telling Prescott Valley construction workers where their phone lines were located. Prescott Valley cut the line causing an 8 hour delay. However these problems will soon be over. In the coming days, I'm going to ditch dial-up for satellite internet. This plan is not too much more than AOL, and I'll be able to go up to 9x faster. The bad thing about this is that I'll have to ditch AOL. I won't have my AOL account for many more days. I'll update more on when I'll ditch dial-up for good.

June 11, 2004
9:03 PM PST

Updated the 2004 and About Me sections on the Who Am I part of the website. People over 14 take notice...

April 10, 2004
10:46 AM PST

Updated what's to come for train DVDs. I'm also getting used to the DVD format, but it's coming along well.

April 7, 2004
8:52 AM PST

I got my DVD burner yesterday, and I'll start making the train signal DVDs really soon, in between pre-monsoon weather that yielded a funnel cloud yesterday. I'll also post cover art soon as well.

April 5, 2004
7:22 PM PST

Added 21 new photos to Fullerton, and Orange County, CA. The Phoenix update for this weekend has been cancelled because it's VERY unsafe, and I don't want to take the chance. The California update for April 16-22 is on the brink of cancellation as well. I'm going to make a few connections to see if I can save it. If not, I won't be able to get back there ever again.

March 5, 2004
3:43 PM MST

I may be going to California late this month for some train signal pictures. When I get a much better date, I'll get more information posted here. Since it's getting down to the wire, I really need to speak with some OREM signal members ASAP!

Feb. 29, 2004
1:06 PM MST

Updates are going to be very slow going for a while. If anyone wants to submit photos in, check the homepage on how to do just that.

Feb. 18, 2004

Feb. 9, 2004
7:21 PM MST

I'm one step closer to DVD movies. I've gotten a capture device already, but I need a DVD burner. My computer won't take anymore devices, so it has to be USB 2.0 ONLY. Until that happens, I'm stuck having to save over $300. In the meantime, I've put my train SVCDs on clearance for only $15 for the whole set! There's only 5 left, so hurry before they run out!

Feb. 6, 2004
8:07 PM MST

Added 7 new photos to Hillside, AZ. These bring me over 1,800 photos. I've also added a map to Arizona showing what I've explored, and not, and where I won't likely go.

Jan. 23, 2004
7:14 PM MST

Added 4 new photos to the Ohio area.

Jan. 23, 2004

I updated the "Who Am I" section to change the 1993-2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 pages into one. I also updated the "About Me" section as well. The big event is looking a little grim right now, so I'm not reporting on it anymore until (if ) it does happen, but I'm starting to give up here.

Jan. 19, 2004
5:22 PM MST

The big event is still expected to happen. The odds are at a much better chance than they were. As the big moment grows nearer. I'll spring the news, but it could take 1-2 weeks before I know.

Jan. 16, 2004
2:32 PM MST

An unexpected problem has come up, and has postponed my big announcement for a week, or maybe longer, or possibly indefinately. I am holding up positive though that I'll be able to post next week.

I also posted 2 new links regarding casino trains in Laughlin, NV.

Jan. 12, 2004
3:32 PM MST

I found I had an unimportant bad link on my Links page, so I replaced it with a continuing series called Boneheads 3. Watch later this week for a big announcement concerning this website's future.

Jan. 8, 2004
9:52 AM MST

A possible train update will come around this weekend depending if I have company with me or not. A life-changing experience is likely to happen in the next month or two. Check back for updates.

Jan. 1, 2004
