It's been a while since I posted, so I wanted to let you all know that I'm still around and I haven't abandoned the site or anything like that. I've been engrossed with moving across the country (again) and getting myself enslaved to the corporate world (again). That has kept me from my usual routine of finding cool tech stuff to write about.

Anyway, I will endeavor to find something worthy of a post over the next few days, but for now, please stick with me as I navigate this new life course for a little while

I wish everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving a safe and happy day! Enjoy the time with your families and friends and try not to over-stuff on the turkey and stuffing!

Even if you don't celebrate the holiday, have a safe and happy day if possible

Mike

I'll be out of town for a few days and will have limited or no access to post (ugh - dial-up!!) So, to those who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving and I'll be back in a few days.

Mike

Posting will be a bit slower and more infrequent over the next few days.
(more...)

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 the pinball business).

Mike

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
