micsaund.com is about to go live!
It's been a VERY long time in the making, but after over a year of paying for hosting (but not doing anything with it), I'm about to put micsaund.com online!
www.micsaund.com will be the entry-point with a blog discussing things such as pinball, arcade video games, computer games, building electronic project, technology news, etc. I've wanted a "general purpose" posting area for quite a while and it just did not fit-in with my dedicated Indiana Jones pinball site on Geocities (not to mention, they only gave me static HTML).
Which brings me to the actual pinball news! You will find my ex-geocities Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure page has moved with me and is available in the Game Links along the left side. Please update your sites, bookmarks, and tell your friends because I am going to delete the geocities site very soon!
Second in the "big news" department, you will notice that I have added a Pinball and Arcade Video forum to my site. The forums are linked from the blog and the IJ:TPA site for convenience. I am hoping that these forums can be put-to-use to help people with repairs, troubleshooting, buying and selling, and other pinball/video community stuff. Note that these forums are NOT just for IJ -- discuss ANY arcade machine and bring your friends! I decided to create the forums since I get quite a bit of e-mail on troubleshooting IJ machines from my IJ site and I figured that a 24/7 forum full of experts would be better than just little old me 
So, welcome to micsaund.com, share the word, and enjoy!
Mike

Call to arms - first tech-support post on the forums!Well, I must admit that the response to my forums (and site in general) has been even weaker than I was expecting :( Tonight, after about a week online, we got our first post (from Mrs. Peel) regarding a Choose Wisely mode problem. I have no idea what is going on with that problem, so I need to call-in you other collectors and get this thing rolling! Let's get some DIY electronics/hardware-hack things posted too. I know how much everyone in the pinball circles loves enhancing things and working-around poorly-designed gizmos in our machines! I chose a fully-featured forum...
We’re now live!
The old geocities page has been updated with a message about moving to this new site, so hopefully there will be a few people lurking around here pretty soon to let me know if things are working :) The Indiana Jones pinball section of the site is on the list for some renovating now that I've got things coverted-over. The info is the same as the geocities page (with one update for Luc ;) ) but I intend to go-through the info and update things in the near future too (for example, to reflect that Williams is no longer in...
Indiana Jones home theater is possibly the coolest ever!
Rather than building the typical home theater with the usual big puffy recliners and movie theater-like look, this couple decided to go all-out and build a completely Indiana Jones themed room. They have chosen wisely... It's not secret that I love the Indiana Jones movies and even have owned a few pieces of the IJ merchandise (for example, the pinball machine I link to on the left). However, this goes way above and beyond anything I've ever even though to do! Rather than blowing exorbitant amounts of cash on the questionably "best" AV equipment, this couple decided to theme the...

Rejoice for the Indiana Jones 4 movie is on the way!
Harrison Ford had donned his Indy costume and Spielberg is rolling the film! OK, I'll admit that as a child of the 80s, I'm pretty biased, but IMO the Indiana Jones movies simply cannot be beat! The have the perfect mix of fantasy, exotic locales, action, humor, and plot to make them worth watching again and again, year after year. So, the past 18 years or so have been pretty Indy-free. Sure, we've heard rumors of Indy 4 starting filming from time-to-time, but the rumors are always quashed by more rumors of the unavilability of the various stars. Various...
