Blast Off

Greetings, all, and welcome to the site.
Today marks the official launch of the Junior Mad Scientist. Astounding, I know: I wasn’t sure it’d ever happen, either.
Before this goes any further, I need to send a loud and hardy HUZZAH!
to Mike Rende — Web designer and search engine optimizer extraordinaire — for the master craftsmanship that went into the Junior Mad Scientist homepage. State of the Art and a thing of beauty, the JMS site is Mike’s way of helping me release my stories and art out on an unsuspecting world. Thanks, Mike.
Not that you’d know it, but this is actually JMS ver 2.0.
I’ve been paying for this URL since 1998. Around 2003, Mike was nice enough to design and build a great-looking blog, the code for which was left to rot until earlier this year. Then, in late February, just as I was ready to push this thing off its virtual cinder blocks, I deleted the whole site! EVERYTHING! 404‘d by my own hand. (What a maroon.)
So, once Mike found out I was serious about getting a digital life, he went ahead and did the redesign and, man, it looks great.
I’m sure you’ll find something to enjoy: art, stories, comics, essays, and the occasional rage-induced rant (though I’m hoping to keep those to a minimum). There’ll be plenty here for everybody, so stop back and poke around at least once a week. I should have things cleaned-up and in sensible order sometime in the next decade. Yes, that includes the formatting.
For now, the posting schedule for essays and articles will be late Thursday nights, that way you’ll have fresh and thought-provoking JMS content for Friday morning. I’ll be adding chunks of art, link updates, and other goodies as I can, usually a couple of times a week. This includes Noble Failure, my monthly attempt at a 24-Hour Comic. More on that later.
If you like what you find, or even if you don’t, goahead’n forward the link to everybody in your address book. And be sure to email me at bweber@juniormadscientist.com with comments or suggestions.
Over and out.

Don’t you dare hold back on the rage induced rants!

And who here is the monster? The image on the left? I think not. The monster here, is you, the viewer. Dig into your own inner beauty and find the detestable and loathsome core of hateful malice. You make cats hide under the nightstand. You make the children cry.
