For those interested: the site is back up. Please note, the web address for the forums has changed to http://www.mediarebellion.com/forums/. Using the baloolapalooza.com/forums/ link will cause errors you must now use the mediarebellion.com one only. I figured this was as good a time as any to change the domain settings as we plan to phase out the ‘BaloolaPalooza’ name. Please adjust your bookmarks accordingly. Thanks for your patience.

So I figure I should put this out there for those wondering.

MediaRebellion.com, an entertainment / political commentary site I own that I run with my friend Bear and a few other very talented individuals I am proud to call friends has been on hiatus for a number of months and right now is down. This has lead many to believe that I have closed the site or that I simply don’t care.

The fact of the matter is this:
MR is supplied cheap hosting by 5-Towns hosting and one Mr. Jason Pearsall. Recently Jason’s business has been taking off (deservingly so too), and he had to move servers, somehow in the server switch things on the site have gotten a bit messed up and I have been unable to get them resolved. I apologize to those who regularly use the site’s forums and I hope to have the issue worked out very soon.

As for the hiatus, this site alone should be an indication of things to come, Bear, Sean and I have been in discussion about a few different ideas for MR and while I have no time frame for anything nor is anything set in stone, one thing we all agree on is it’s not going to close, and we all want to do something with it, we’re just not sure what.

If anyone has any questions or anything you know how to contact me, but hopefully this will put the confusion to rest, check back here occasionally for updates I guess.

..with not having a site.

This domain has been parked with a splash page for almost two years and it’s high time I did something with it. The problem is, I’m never happy with my work so I always put things on hold till I can get them “right”, and the perfectionist that I am, I can never get things “right” enough to please myself, so I never finish them.

Well I’m done with that. Starting right now the site is open… with nothing to check out.

Well that’s not entirely true. I took down just about everything that was on the server with the exception of my book. (Which like everything else in my life will probably never be finished.) I’ve also thrown up a bunch of cool links, and any out there relating to me that are worth checking out. As time goes on I plan to post some of my design work, as I really need to have an online portfolio to showcase my art/design skills if I ever want to do anything with my degree.

Right now I have a ton of creative ideas and thoughts that I’ve been toying with so I’m not sure what you can expect from this site full time possibly a podcast, possibly a webcomic or possibly just social-political ranting (most likely). Either way this will be updated soon and often.

That’s it for now, more to come soon tomorrow. (Maybe even a page layout!)
