Performance artist Ian Vandewalker unveiled the much-anticipated seventh version of his homepage today. Krinklyman2002 represents a radical new direction for the popular comedy website. It is moving away from the excessively-goofy "Ian's Website" era to a pseudo-hip "Mentioning the Year in the Title" era, emphasizing the mysterious Krinklyman aspect of the site. Readers still puzzle over the meaning of 'Krinklyman,' and many wonder what it may mean to this day. Presently, regular visitors to the website do not know and many are confounded by it nowadays. Newcomers also often do not understand what it refers to when they visit the site in current time.
Krinklyman2002 features an awesome blue background and some totally cool fonts. The centerpiece is a fantastic montage representing different parts of the hilarious website. The process behind the index is also something completely new to Ian's Website. The entire page is an imagemap, something which has not previously been seen on the website because Vandewalker has always maintained that "the coordinates are too hard." The image itself is in GIF89a format, another thing not seen until now because of Vandewalker's unfounded fears of new things. The whole thing is a little big, but it's well worth it, so hide that navigation toolbar and enjoy!
The unveiling of the much-hyped G-version index brings with it the sad early retirement of Ian's Wild West Desert Country Web-Site. Readers may wonder if scrapping the cowboy jokes means Vandewalker has moved away from Tucson or no longer supports President Bush. Ian is quick to remind the public that he still lives in Tucson but must admit that he thinks President Bush is an idiot and does not support the so-called "war on terrorism." Previous statements to the contrary were only sarcastic jokes.
Michael Jackson has proved once again that he is indeed the King of Pop. Although his heavily-hyped comeback has been less than spectacular, music critics have pointed out that his latest single has done much better than original version. The song, "Butterflies," was originally recorded by the funky jam band Tom's Cosmic Radio. The song was the band's signature number in its later days.
Jackson's "Butterflies" is at #17 on this week's Billboard charts, up two places from last week. The tune has been on the charts for nine weeks so far, which is about 9 weeks longer than the TCR version stayed. Fans of TCR, often called "antennaheads," have pointed out that TCR's album version of "Butterflies" was recorded early and did not have the energy that live performances came to exhibit. Either way, it is safe to say that Jackson's version will be heard by millions more people than TCR's ever will.
