What's New
4-6-09
OK, I recovered from the virus infection, so
where the heck are the updates?
You may have noticed a drop in POAC activity over
the past week following the previous week of even less activity.
While the virus situation is repaired, there are some developments I
need to make everyone aware of. Since
we've shed the Bush regime, interest in the POAC has dropped
significantly. Sales from the store is almost non-existent and the
site gets a fraction of the visitors that it used to.
Essentially, I think many of our supporters and members have
taken the position that our work is basically done here. I disagree.
There's always going to be corruption in government and corporate
America, and we're going to continue exposing it. However, since the
Project isn't as robust as it was, I'm scaling a few things down and
redirecting my efforts.
What we're losing:
I'm going to stop rebuilding the archiving
system. No more archives. If you want to archive our work, you'll
have to save your copies of the (almost) daily newsletter.
Updates will likely be 3 times a week. I'll
explain why in a moment.
What's staying:
(almost) daily newsletter
Website
Message board
Quarterly newsletter
Why the change?
I've made the decision to enroll in college again
full-time. I'm studying business communications focusing on web
development and visual communications. Essentially I'll be studying
to be an expert at web design, flash animation, photoshop, and other
skills that will improve the scale and reach of the POAC in the long
run. With things slowing down and less demand for my services, I'm
seizing the opportunity to improve my skills and make the POAC a
stronger force in the alternative media industry. Additionally, to
help provide income for the Project and myself in this down-time of
POAC activity, I've started a freelance web design business:
www.lemartianstudios.com.
I've already picked up a few clients and my time is becoming more
and more scarce. The POAC isn't going away, but it is going to be
scaled down a little while I work on improving my skills.
Until next time, Be well.
