The Big Waste of Space: What's New

Welcome to The Big Waste of Space. I hope you're enjoying your visit! Here's a history of what has been added.

Year 2003

January 13 In an effort to make things much easier for me to keep up with, I've taken a step to scale back The Big Waste of Space by removing the links section once known as Site Envy. Goodbye, dear friend.

January 11 To make signing up for the newsletter much more reliable, I've upgraded the mailing-list software. Everyone should now have no problems becoming a Wastoid!

Year 2002

May 15 Get me — I can neglect the whole site for 5 months and The Big Waste of Space still turns out to be one of The Web's Funniest Sites. Check out my mention in Yahoo Internet Life's June 2002 issue in Bragging Rights.

To mark the occasion, I also added a couple more signs!

Year 2001

Dec 19 A new page of Grease for the Brainpan.

Dec 1 The first part of The Big Waste of Space to grow up and leave the nest: It's the all-new Texas Twisted!

Aug 14 I finally add a new state to my Road Trip map with Boomland!

June 14 My first print publication! My photo of the World's Tallest Fountain is printed in a math book. Read about it in Bragging Rights.

June 12 Hidden away in Van Nuys lies the Japanese Garden, the real-life home to the "Star Trek" series' Starfleet Headquarters.

June 4 The Big Waste of Space's Photologue entry on the Congress Avenue Bats contributes to the HowStuffWorks article on How Bats Work. Read about it in Bragging Rights.
