Hey guys, Not much has really been going on recently, but summer’s coming so maybe more people will want to make episodes.  One episode is currently being finished, an animation, written by Mike Buchbauer (MMXII) and animated by Steve Intrabartola.  That should be finished in the next couple weeks.  Also, the Syracuse International Film Festival started this weekend.  I’m working at...

Well, last week the American Wasteland spot (posted below and here) screened at the I Shot the Pilot Fundraiser.  I was unable to make it, but my classmate Mike, who organized the show, told me it was received with “roaring applause”.  That’s good news, I think.  There haven’t been any new members to the forums yet, though.  People have been telling me about their ideas...

Well, American Anthology is up and running and is looking pretty good, I think.  I think I’ve set up a decent system for it to work on.  There’s a page that chronicles everything in the main story.  Each episode has its own page, where all the facts and events that that episode reveals are listed, as well as links to information about the makers.  All I need now is someone to manage...

For the past couple days, I’ve been wading my way through the MediaWiki engine (the software that runs Wikipedia), trying to build “American Anthology”, the wiki for American Wasteland.  It’s been hard, considering I’ve had to teach myself php, HTML, and the MediaWiki tags all at the same time.  I know hardly anything about either language, and I don’t have a...

Hi guys, Well most, if not all, of the kinks on the newly launched website have been worked out, and the site is working smoothly.  The only issue is that there are still no users on the forums!  The forums are designed to be the life-blood of the American Wasteland community—it’s the vehicle with which contributors can communicate and collaborate.  I need to find ways to get this...

Forums! Yes, they’re finally here.  Working, functional forums for American Wasteland.  I’ve taken the biggest steps in making this community alive and active.  Now all it needs are contributors, users, viewers, makers.  It needs to get out there.  I’m working on a print campaign for my campus, but I need help.  I’ve also posted it as a RECord on hitRECord.org.  It needs...

Alright, so this is the official blog of American Wasteland.  This is the first step in the transition to a real webspace.  When the transition is complete, the website itself will automatically be updated with posts from here, and there will be a link on the website to this, where the archives can be accessed.  Soon, once the site is moved, there will be a forum as well. Hopefully it will be up...
