Check out what I've done lately:
- 2004-08-23: Added another SSA winner.
- 2004-08-20: Added another SSA winner.
- 2004-08-15: Yeah, so it's been two months, and life's been busy as all hell. That said, I had the day off and ended up working anyway. LOL. I got a new essay up, updated some links, finally got around to putting up the two awards I've received, and did some minor HTML cleanup. I also revamped the SSA criteria slightly, cleaned some defunct links, and have awarded another. So here's to maybe not taking two months between reviews.
- 2004-06-09: Made minor editions to yesterday's essay.
- 2004-06-08: Wrote another essay. Well, kind of. It's not really an essay. It's more like a lamentation. But yeah, I wrote it.
- 2004-05-18: Made some structural editions, fixed a couple broken hyperlinks, and corrected a few typos that I can't believe I let by...lol.
- 2004-05-14: New essay on assholes. Read it and weep.
- 2004-05-08: So my lease ran out in March, and I no longer have the webspace or domain name due to lack of funds. However, my good friend and sometimes mentor Daven helped me secure a little bit of webspace. Now, the Mirror is back up, containing the most trafficked aspects. I've removed the comic and audio sections and other nonessentials to conserve on loaned webspace, but the essays and reviews and other pertinent shit is all here for the consumption of the masses. Updates will be sporadic, as things with the band have REALLY taken off. But it's here, and it's queer ~_^
- 2004-02-16: I've added another rant (it's an essay, but not really) to the Mirror tonight. I had a different style tonight than I usually have; I hope you enjoy, and I hope I clarify some of those little things that might just not add up in the mind of the profiler...
- 2004-01-27: Despite not having regular Internet access, I have written an essay and updated the Mirror accordingly. I'm trying, folks, things just aren't working out the way I'd planned them to. Securing a connection has proven difficult. But anyway, I've written an essay, and I hope this year proves as spiritually enlightening as the last one did. Hey, over ten thousand of you have come so far, so here's to a hundred thousand more. :)
- 2003-12-28: After a 31-day dry spell, I have finally written another essay, this time on environmentalism. Go see for yourself.
- 2003-12-16: The Mirror was long past due for a facelift. So here it is. The red and blue motif has been replaced by gold and violet. I hope it proves easier to read and more reflective of my current beliefs.
- 2003-12-11: Added a third song to the music section.
- 2003-12-08: Added another song to the music section.
- 2003-12-07: I have added a page for my pagan music, and uploaded my first finished piece. I also added an update list so you don't always have to keep checking back here.
- 2003-12-02: Added review of La Luna Bella, updating all corresponding pages.
- 2003-11-27: Holy shit, I wrote an ESSAY. I also posted Daven's Review of Dragon Goddess' site.
- 2003-11-24: Took the Belief-O-Matic again.
- 2003-11-21: Added a VERY IMPORTANT PAGE regarding the petition to rid our bookstores of Mark Ventimiglia and his bigoted, homophobic trash. Also added a review of the Witches' Way. Updated the SSA page. Also updated the links page. Also gave Dragon Goddess a Stupid Site Award, something she's been deserving of for a LONG TIME now.
- 2003-11-20: After a grave two weeks of silence due to purely personal concerns on my part, I have given my Mirror a badly needed update. I have published two essays that have been on the block for the better part of a week, and have added the final two episodes of Magickal Madeleine. More website reviews and essays will be on the agenda through the end of the year; I'll try to get at least two dozen websites reviewed through the end of the year. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for still coming to the Mirror day after day after day. This site's been getting an average of 117 hits a day, and I appreciate each and every one of you. Thanks for making the Mirror a hot spot on the witches' web.
- 2003-11-07: Cernunnos has been fired and his publications have been removed.
- 2003-10-26: Back from vacation. Added the next installment of Madeleine (only two left in the season!). Also added a brand-new essay from Cernunnos on That fucking "F" word.
- 2003-10-15: Updated the links.
- 2003-10-13: Took the Belief-O-Matic again. Surprisingly, even after not getting around to it last month, and with as many spiritual ups and downs as I've had recently, I charted very similarly as to how I did two months ago. Curious.
- 2003-10-12: Added a brief, but wonderful essay to the Mirror, courtesy of The Crooked Heath. Dude, this essay had me bowling the fuck over laughing. Seriously, read this. It's excellent. And welcome Briar (the author-type chica who runs the Heath) to the patch.
- 2003-10-11: Major, major update to the links page. Also met this really cool chick on Yahoo! chat this morning, and she happens to have just recently put up a site which perfectly fits the Mirror's genre, The Crooked Heath. Also added an Tolerance: Part Two from Q.
- 2003-10-10: Preemptively added the next Maddy episode. Now I'm finally getting feedback on it, so keep it coming!
- 2003-10-09: Corrected a misdirected link on the SSA page.
- 2003-10-08: Major update. Finally sat down and designed a graphic for the Stupid Site Awards. To accomodate, I completely revamped the page. Compared to the rest of the site it's rather image heavy, but again I compress all the images as much as possible without sacrificing detail, so it's still within the parameters of decency. I'm just warning ya to be a little patient for the individualised award images to show up. I personally think this rendition looks better and is much easier to read. Also corrected a couple errors and updated a few various spots in the Reviews section of the Mirror.
- 2003-10-06: Added two reviews, awarded an SSA, and corrected a silly bungle in this very updates page. Oops. LOL.
- 2003-10-05: Added a whole new department to the Obsidian Mirror, and that would be the Pagan Website Reviews department. So far, the only review I have is for Daven's Journal, but I have a feeling this will become as integral a facet of the Mirror as the essays are.
- 2003-10-04: Published Justin's debut essay on the Mirror regarding his views on evil. Also uploaded this week's Maddy and also added a couple of links. Go check 'em out.
- 2003-10-01: Did further code streamlining, incrementing the amount of style sheet formatting and decreasing the amount of redundant code by just enough to slightly edge loadtime in your favour.
- 2003-09-30: Been so busy this week, I forgot to update Magickal Madeleine. Have rectified the situation. Hey, better late than never.
- 2003-09-26: Added the twenty-fifth essay to the Mirror, contrasting anger and hatred.
- 2003-09-25: Configured all the toplist hyperlinks so that they all open in a separate window. Considering that I open everything up in new windows anyway, it saves me the work of having to shift-click each link. It also allows you to vote for my site without interrupting your reading material. ^_^ I'm also planning to incorporate more XML into the Mirror, which will streamline the code thus increasing download time even further. We'll see what happens; it's not an urgent thing (like redoing Maddy #6, which is still on the drawing board...err...kitchen table.
- 2003-09-24: Updated the page format a little bit. Been thinking about adding window.status tags for a while; finally got around to doing that. Also decided to disable the right-click to prevent all but the insanely desparate from stealing bandwidth, should that ever occur.
- 2003-09-23: Soc's essay, A Common Path for Pagans and Christians, is finally up for your viewing pleasure. All associated pages (added to staff page, etc.) have been updated accordingly.
- 2003-09-21: Uploaded the next Magickal Madeleine comic. Made a couple minor edits to the front page. Got a new guest essay from Socrates13 on the prep table; haven't set it in the Mirror template yet; I'll have to do that when I get the time. It's well worth the wait though, so stay tuned.
- 2003-09-10: I decided not to upload this past Sunday's Magickal Madeleine. I plan on redoing it, since it doesn't have quite the punch I thought it would. I've come up with something better; it's just a matter of sitting down and redrawing it. Instead, however, I've preemptively put up next week's rendition. Hopefully, I'll get Episode 6 done this weekend.
- 2003-09-01: Added a few links.
- 2003-08-31: So I forgot to put up last week's Magickal Madeleine cartoon altogether. Oops. Anyway, I've put up last week's, and I've also put up this week's episode. Finally on time for once. :) Also found a very sutpid typo on this very page, and rectified the situation. Also wrote what's bound to be a very controversial essay. Also added a couple links. Also edited the blog's style sheet so that it conforms to the rest of the site's template. Since the modifications are done offsite, I forget to do that. Sue me. :P No, on second thought, don't sue me. I'm broke.
- 2003-08-30: Took the Belief-O-Matic again, which I do about every six weeks or so. Also added a staff page.
- 2003-08-25: Gave a thirteenth Stupid Site Award to a fluffy little bimbo I ran into in Yahoo chat this morning. Yay.
- 2003-08-24: Posted the Mirror's third guest essay, on the subject of all consuming faith. Thanks to Scaerie Faerie for understanding and contributing to the Mirror's mission. Also gave all guest authors email accounts.
- 2003-08-20: I made a very, very subtle update. It was a major one, yes, comprising about 60% of the pages on this website, but I'm gonna see if you can figure out just what exactly I did. First one to figure it out gets a free copy of my band's EP when we release it. ;)
- 2003-08-19: Damn, six days without an update. That's a first. Anyway, here's the third episode of Magickal Madeleine. Sorry I'm late again. Also fixed a couple of semantic errors in the One Big Happy Wiccan Family essay.
- 2003-08-13: Corrected a statement on my SSA page.
- 2003-08-11: I'm a day late uploading the second installment of Magickal Madeleine. Sorry to keep you hanging, but it's up there now. Enjoy.
- 2003-08-10: Seems one of the Stupid Site Award winners vanished from the web. A damn shame...a damn shame indeed.
- 2003-08-09: Added Q's journal to my links page, and awarded another Stupid Site Award, making twelve altogether. Tomorrow morning, another episode of Magickal Madeleine is on the docket, so stick around.
- 2003-08-06: Corrected a stupid historical error in my political essay. Yes, I should know better; shut the fuck up. LOL. Also added a quick rant on doing your own homework. It's shorter and I put less thought into it than I usually do, but it's something that's been pissing me off for a while now and having run into one such particular chump online today, it blew my fuse. Hope you enjoy.
- 2003-08-03: Debuted my comic, Magickal Madeleine. Hoping to update this each coming Sunday until I run out of things to bitch about.
- 2003-08-02: Added a political essay for once.
- 2003-07-29: Gave out my eleventh Stupid Site Award.
- 2003-07-28: Wrote a letter to the douchebag impersonating me (and undeservèdly slandering other people's websites).
- 2003-07-26: Tweaked my major update just a wee bit.
- 2003-07-25: Major update. Improved the infrastructure to the Mirror. Notice the links aren't always underlined (always was a pet peeve of mine, in case you didn't know). Notice the author credits on the header. Hover your mouse over said author credits (on the main page too!) Oh yeah, and I awarded another Stupid Site.
- 2003-07-23: Presented my defense of ExWitch Ministries.
- 2003-07-22: Took the Belief-O-Matic again. Linked the results to the main page.
- 2003-07-20: Gave out my ninth Stupid Site Award. Also composed my first essay in almost a month. Feels good to get those creative juices flowing again.
- 2003-07-19: Got rid of Bravenet's counter and got one of my own. Thanks to Daven for sharing this little perl with me. Pun intended. Hardy har har har.
- 2003-07-14: Added another Stupid Site Award — I think that makes eight — to my ever-growing grimoire of nauseating webpages.
- 2003-07-13: Joined the Intelligent Magick Webring. Updated the links page accordingly.
- 2003-07-10: Bravenet decided to "new-and-improved" their counters, and they have lost much of their customisability. This annoys me, since now I have to go tweak the code on my page. Grr.
- 2003-07-09: Cleaned up the main page a bit by creating a subpage dedicated to the webrings, search engines and link exchanges I have and/or will join. Also awarded another Stupid Site. Also joined the Rising of the Witch toplist. Also learned that on the Wiccan/Pagan/Occultide Top 100, the Mirror ranks fourteenth. Awesome. Keep 'em coming.
- 2003-07-05: Yeah, I added a blog. Now you can all stalk me. This is the first utterly useless piece of content on this site, most assuredly evident of a downward trend in purist media such as this site. Just kidding: I just decided to cave into a trend, compromising my pseudononconformist morality for the sake of adding a personal touch to the website. Besides, it's not like anyone's going to read it anyway. ;)
- 2003-07-04: Added another essay. Hope your 4th is better than mine: I have to work today. LOL.
- 2003-07-03: Gave out another Stupid Site Award.
- 2003-07-02: Corrected a misstatement on the main page.
- 2003-07-01: Added my site to the Occult 100 and the Wiccan/Pagan/Occultide Top 100, as well as a couple of occult search engines (whose webmasters are, as we all know,fs just as guilty as witchy authors) in an effort to increase awareness of this site. Sure, I might have sold out, but it's a chance to shake the fluff out of people. Down with the NWO!
- 2003-06-30: Submitted the Mirror to the Pagan Portal search engine.
- 2003-06-28: Took the Belief-O-Matic again.
- 2003-06-26: Good Gods! Two Stupid Sites to award in one day!
- 2003-06-25: Added a lamentation.
- 2003-06-15: Joined the Pagans Against Bad History webring, because I am against bad history, and I happen to be a pagan. Oh yeah, and if Daven and Cassie joined it, that lends it a bit more credibility in my book. :) I've also updated the links page to accommodate.
- 2003-06-14: It's my fiancée's 19th birthday. Yay. :) In her honour, I've posted yet another rant (on time, no less!). Also, because I haven't had the time over the last few weeks to award a Stupid Site EVERY FLIPPING WEEK, I've removed the periodical status of it. Don't worry, I'll still keep digging up the scum of the Net. I just won't be doing it on an even basis. :)
- 2003-06-13: So I moved, and the site didn't get done. Sue me. I'm back now, and I added another rant. Let's see if we can get over 1000 visitors now, eh?
- 2003-05-14: Took the Belief-O-Matic again.
- 2003-05-12: Noticed a stupid error in the main page, and corrected it.
- 2003-05-08: Yup. There's another Stupid Site Award. Yay! Go see, and make fun of this...if you don't blow your fucking brains out before it finishes loading. Holy shit.
- 2003-05-06: Added a guest essay by Daven.
- 2003-05-02: Blessèd Beltaine, everyone. Hope yours was better than mine. Anyway, I've done some more format tweaking on all the pages, and I've also added an eleventh essay.. Yayyyy!
- 2003-04-28: A new week has gone by, so I have awarded another Stupid Site contender. Damn, I oughtta create a lame ass image for my stupid fluffy contenders, oughtn't I?
- 2003-04-24: Added the Stupid Site Awards page. The first winner is very deserving, believe you me.
- 2003-04-23: Finally added a tenth essay. Life's been picking up, and available time coupled with mental capacity has been a scarcity.
- 2003-04-11: Added ninth essay.
- 2003-04-10: Added a lesson on counterculture ettiquette. Read this before giving me feedback.
- 2003-04-09: Added seventh essay. Minor code tweaks.
- 2003-04-05: Added sixth essay. Added guestbook.
- 2003-04-04: Added my essay on the Rule of Three. Added some feedback I got last night. Installed phpBB forum.
- 2003-04-03: Added my fiancée's essay on tolerance. Edited the Rede-B-Gon rant for logic holes. Links page updated. Colour scheme tweaked.
- 2003-04-02: Links page constructed. Various pages updated. Retook Belief-O-Matic. Posted my results. Added the hit counter.
- 2003-03-31: First three essays and index pages uploaded, and the Obsidian Mirror hath been birthed.
- 2003-03-30: Domain name and webspace purchased at Lunarpages.com
.
- 2003-03-28: First essay and index pages created, and the Obsidian Mirror is conceived in my head.
