Special Bulletin from the Uranium Cafe Staff

Tuesday, 10. April 2007, 13:06:30

Due to a glitch in our vast and complicated operating system here at The Uranium Cafe (a subsidiary of Miasma Inc.)we have found it necessary to redo most of the first three pages of the Cafe. This operation will take a week or so for our highly trained technical crew to correct and so new updates and completion of current essays (i.e. the much anticipated explanation of Frippertronics) will be slightly delayed.

We see this problem, a minor set back when compared to the mass extictions of entire species that have occurred in the past, as in fact a good thing. The look and feel of the Cafe has evolved over the last year and we here at the central office see this as an opportuniy to upgrade the look of the first few pages somewhat to stay in balance with what is happening now. You may want to go back in a week or so to those early pages and see if something new has been added or edited. Some new additions include, among other things, a video clip of Yvonne Craig riding her Batcycle to the tune of the original Batgirl theme song. So see, our time is not being wasted here.

We are proud of the the new look and direction of the Cafe and as we approach post number 100 we want to thank our millions of supporters worldwide who have made this venture the success that it is. It is time to renew or mission statement and stay true to it, and that is "to provide the public with finely crafted glimpses into the classic, cool, campy, cheesy, corny and often crappy worlds of cult cinema, off beat music, comic books, and whatever is laying around on the coffee table that day." So stay tuned curious one, there is more to come.

And then, like a lightning bolt, the answer comes, The Uranium Cafe!

So I wish you well on your 100th post, and congratulations on your worldwide success.

Yea, what happened was I deleted all my Opera Photo albums as I have some new ides on how to use them at a later time, but my first few pages had all the picutres linked to my photo albums, so they all went too. Luckily I had backed up all the pics in a separate folder and now simply have to replace them one at a time and slightly edit some old posts, but not too much. I want to redo the 1st post completely, redo some pics and add a couple pics as well and add some text here and there. Not quite the momumental task our newscaster made the public think it was.

Paul can you access this site from the States?

www.nealadams.com

I cannot. If you can I may ask a big favor of you when you have time. There is a complete comic strip from this guy, Neal Adams, of about 8 pages there. I have tried every route I can to get to it. I went to another site conencted to it and that site opened but the link to Adam's page would not connect as so many cool looking sites here do not. It is frustrating. If the site opens let me know then I will fine tune your search from here and maybe you can simply open save and send me those pages over yahoo. This will not be something I ask again and do it only when you have time.

He was a superhero artist mostly and his style was influential as hell though he mostly drew basic superhero stuff, but he drew it very well and changed the way comics were drawn in the 70's and after. But he did a few other things not too many people know about and this is one of them, a story called Thrill Kill about a rooftop sniper. I would love to post the whole story on the blog.

Yes, I can get to the site, and yes, it is a very confusing site....not a model of web design in my opinion. Let me know what you want.

Give me a day or so. There is another site that links right to the pages I am trying to get. And it may not be hard to figure out from there. I will send an email in a day or two and see what happens. Yea, I just cannot get into all the sites I want here and I resign myself to it. There is one called thetrashcollector.com. it always pops up and has great large scans, I can tell from the image sections at google or yahoo, but I cannot open it ever. I will send an email then in a few days. Thanks and see you
