Dear Fandom,

[asks druid for a reincarnate spell - website reborn as a .net]

Alright, so the evil powers that be bought the domain name for modrobot.com from under me and Erik and offered to sell it back for a king's ransom. I replied, "How 'bout you kiss my lily-white ass, evil Internet robber-barons?" As you might imagine, no deal was made.

I had a contigency plan set up, however. I had purchased modrobot.net in anticipation of such a catastrophe and viola! I stick it to the man.

EXCEPT ... dealing with the beauracracies of domain file hosts and domain name hosts made this whole business drag on for two months. Finally, Rob.AE and his friend, Frank, were able to determine the issue and cut through all the red tape for me. Muy kudos and mad props to those boys (I feel like a Shadowrun character who rolled nothing but boxcars on his Etiquette: Hackers roll).

So, I'm pleased to present the long-awaited return of
Mod Robot!

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! MWU-HAHAHAHAHAHA!
:lightning strikes, beakers bubble, generators hum, egor trembles, and the monster rises up, slow, akward and childlike, from the rubble of it's former self:
AND THEY CALLED ME MAD! MAD? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, BIOATCHES!

Ecstaticaly yours,
[ANt.]

NEWS

Modrobot.com was purchased from under Erik and I by malicious and evil individuals with the intent of selling it back to us for an outrageous some of money.

In response, we've decided to purchase modrobot.net instead. However, there's been a significant amount of downtime due to this conversion.

We hope to have this rectified soon.

Thanks for your patience.

New Website for Daphne D. Light Designs

I've nearly finished the new "pop-up free" design for Daphne D. Light Designs. It's part of my new CSS friendly coding campaign. Both myself and the client are extremely happy about it.

I've also added a new node to my online portfolio: Latest Projects which is basically a place to show newly created works and works-in-progress. With my current, hectic schedule, it's a good place to put new things quickly.

This month should see the start of a new web client and the addition to more features on Modrobot, as well as (cross our fingers) a website for my comic.

Pardon Our Dust While We Remodel

-Posted by Anthony

Alright, alright. Sorry that things are such a mess on Erik's site. I'm currently learning CSS and I'm discovering how buggy it gets from browser to browser -- but I'm close, real close, to getting it sorted out. Except that I've discovered that it's nearly impossible (or at least extremely tricky to code footers in CSS), so I may have to scrap the current design completely and start again from scratch.

[sigh]

In the meantime, try to be patient while things are a'bouncin' around. I'll try to get it fixed ASAP.

OMNICIRCUS HEAVY MENTAL CABARET GALA BENEFIT JULY 23, 8PM

Posted by Erik




OMNICIRCUS ROBOTIC CABARET PRESENTS A GALA  BENEFIT FOR THE MAKING
OF A LONG-FORM VIDEO OF NEW ANTI-WAR, ANTI-POVERTY PROTEST SONGS


FRIDAY JULY 23 AT 8 P.M.  $20 suggested donation.

Fans of the OmniCircus Heavy-Mental Group will want to attend our benefit auction and performance to raise money to produce a long-form music video. This video will explore themes addressing the war in Iraq and here in the ghetto.
The fundraiser will be held at OmniCircus, located at 550 Natoma St. in San Francisco. Suggested donation is $20 but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.


The show starts at 8 p.m., with OmniCircus’ performance ensemble, DeusMachina, showcasing new material.

Videos, computer animation, dance and robotic interactions will also take place.

An additional attraction will be an auction of original art by Frank Garvey and other OmniCircus members, and bidding for a dinner-date with one of the Fallen Angels of the OmniCircus.

Headquartered in San Francisco’s SoMa district, OmniCircus is the premier center for surreal cabaret and multimedia performance.

Founded in 1988 by composer-artist Garvey, OmniCircus shows integrate live avant-fusion music by house band DeusMachina, with dancers, actors, life-sized computer-controlled robots and midi-controlled virtual-reality puppets, whose voices are powered in real-time by live actors.
