I suppose it’s time to update the old web page. Let’s see if I can think of something interesting that’s happened lately.

I registered the crayolaclan.com domain name this past week. This is the same domain name that got us a cease and desist letter from Binney & Smith (of Crayola Crayons fame) for violating their trademark. By us, I mean the Crayola Clan, a fun-tastic Quake clan I belonged to. I guess technically I still belong to it, though it has been inactive as far as I know since around 2002, having played its last match in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, a game whose artwork was partially rendered by one of our own clan members. Anyway, after we gave up the crayolaclan.com name and switched to waxlub.com, some time later, another clan calling themselves the Crayola Clan or the Crayon Clan or some weird name like that came along and took over crayolaclan.com for their own use! It was an outrage! It’s almost as much of an outrage as the guy/people/corporation that is holding onto uvtek.com for no apparent reason. So anyway I took it upon myself to grab crayolaclan.com for old times’s sake.
