"Hammering Out the Web For You Since May 12th, 1998!"

Hammering Out the Web For You

Nine years ago, (tomorrow) I set up my first simple web page... a very basic one at that.

I had just learned how to do it from my children who had been dabbling in html at their local school.

Soon I was placing articles up on the web, from what was then my passion, 'genealogy' !

Right after that I posted my first comic book mail order lists that had previously only been in print form!

Shortly after that I would buy additional domain names, more as the years and competition drove domain name prices lower and lower!

January of 1999 I joined eBay to basically buy what I couldn't find locally for my collection.

I then put my dad's craft business on the web, his 'whirlbirds', and others' businesses that I grew to know from working out at craft shows in Southern California, so many that I built a 'CraftersMallOnLine' to give additional publicity to.

Additionally I built other websites, and learned to do SEO for those site and my own!

Meeting and marrying Tina has expanded those horizons, and we are having more and more fun in these endeavors.

Today, she and I blog on eBay and additionally these blog posts are copied to our new blog web site, www.comicbookcollectorsblog.com, for additional distribution to the World Wide Web!

It's been a fun ride these past nine years on the www, and I want to thank my kids for getting me started!

This Is THE Blockbuster to Beat !

Topic: Comic Book Movies

This Is

THE Blockbuster

To Beat!

Yes, It's Spider-Man 3, the new Spidey movie with three... count them... 3 different villains!

The movie started a week ago in theaters near you, check your papers or internet for showtimes for this weekend !

The movies of course are based on the Amazing Spider-Man Comic Books. To the right are two issues that the villain 'Venom' has appeared in during the years since he first appeared.

The comic books are third party graded by CGC, which means that they are graded for condition by an outside independent grading source, and then encapsulated in a plastic holder with a seal to ensure that their graded condition remains the same.

We sell both CGC 'slabbed' comics and 'raw unslabbed' comic books in our eBay Store.

For those of you that are wondering about Venom's appearance being somewhat over the top, yes he is exactly that!

Thus this is a warning that the 3rd Spidey movie is of a much darker tone than the first two movies that have been previously released so far.

The second new villain for this movie is 'Sandman' who is also mostly CGI during the fight sequences!

Third, is the transformation of Harry Osborne into the 'New' Goblin, taking over the role of the Green Goblin that his father, Norman, had in the first movie!

The original comic book series was co-created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Dikto. Thank you Stan & Jack & Steve!

For those interested in checking out Spider-Man comics run we have several unslabbed and CGC graded comics listed in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.

Mesage From Michael
Mood:

d'oh
Topic: TV Shows

To those of you checking our blog for 'Our Take' on American Idol, '24' TV show, 'Heroes' TV Show, etc from this week...

There will be none this week, due to the fact that I have been sick since late last Thursday night and am still recovering.

At first I thought it was a flu bug, but after reaching 103.2 degree temperature and was getting worse, plus missing out on Free Comic Book Day and Spider-Man 3 on Saturday, (oh the horror of that!), I was thinking it may be food poisioning instead as I had had two items that Tina had not eaten at the deli that I had picked up for myself.

Tina drove me to Urgent Care on Sunday where after an hour they thought I had diverticulitis. Urgent Care was not set up to handle that problem, so they had me go to ER where I spent nine hours getting a more complete exam with CT scan, etc, etc.

I was diagnosed with colitis, and had drugs administred to me via IV. Near the end of the night I was asked if I wanted to be admitted to the hospital or go home and rest. I chose the latter as I know hospitals are not a place to get rest!

Yesterday afternoon my primary doctor called to tell me I had indeed had food poisioning, 'salmonealla', courtesy of my local supermarket's deli...

Have not felt like using the computer for days, stayed in bed, and up now to check emails and publish this blog post. This is extra work, and does not get out the invoicing and shipping of items that have sold since last Thursday or answer Best Offers, or relist items, so will sign off for now and return hopefully this weekend or early next week. All I want to do right now is rest, which is totally unusual for me!

Tune in again later, for updates on our favorite TV shows, and our review on Spider-Man 3 after we finally get to see it!

WANTED: Dead Or Alive !

05-02-07

' Chris Richardson '

OK, I gotta admit it.... Chris also was not one of my favorites on this season's American Idol.

That said, I feel that his song choice for his last week was so fitting for the last performance!

He sang Bon Jovi's 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' for his song pick, and he was brought in by it! The voters brought his role on American Idol to an end... He was No Longer Wanted !

As you can see by our previous blog posts on this Season's American Idol, Chris R landed usually in the lower half in performance rankings as judged by Tina and myself.

However, I felt there were occasions where Chris came out from under his Justin Timberlake looks and sang good, like his last performance this week. Unfortunately he usually had that nasaly sound that Tina just couldn't stand which placed him in her bottom half every week!

(And by the way, I liked Justin Timberlake when he was with n' Sync, even went to one of their concerts with my daughter!)

For those interested in TV shows like 'American Idol', we have several Movie and TV based comic books or magazines in our eBay Featured Store . Just click on the link provided!
