A CRITICAL BULLETIN FROM THE STAFF OF THE URANIUM CAFE

There have not been many new updates added to the Café in a while and some posted there now have been left unfinished. Why you may be wondering? Well we here at the home office have been busy beginning a new project over at Rotten Tomatoes we call The Son of The Uranium Café. It has taken some time to get the project's look and feel up to our standards. As well it has been difficult getting the feel of how the site works and what is able to be done and what cannot be done. The purpose of the new site is to focus on movie reviews exclusively and for our chief reviewer to hone up his skills in a site that will have no other purposes or distractions than commenting on films. The Café is a multi-themed site and as we have said before the problem lies not with what to put in but what to leave out.

There has been talk as well around the office lately of a philosophy based site. The word is that a site has been activated but that the look is too generic for our philosophy section to gain inspiration from. There is some development in the works however and that project may get off the ground here shortly. Yes, some of us here at the staff are concerned with ontologial and existential matters as well as 50 foot radioactive insects

While the Café has birthed a new movie site we will continue to post movie reviews here as well. The Café affords more space and graphic capabilities than what is possible at Rotten Tomatoes and reviews will be shared and linked between the two sites. So while things here are slow do not fear there is more to come in no time. It is also necessary for our archive department to go back several pages, even to the 1st page it seems, and finish posts and make corrections or adjustments in the graphics. It was discovered that the essay on Ambient Music was never completed back when we were doing extensive posting on Robert Fripp.

There are other glitches that need tending to and they will be taken care of and we apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you or for increases in psycotropic medications. We hope we are not responsible for the sharp rise in group suicides in Japan though some of the data coming in from our Tokyo office seems to point towards that awful conclusion. Before another group of distraught school kids in Nagoya hurl themselves in front of a speeding subway train clutching their copies of The Suicide Manual we will get the Café up and running again. You have our word.
