Space Ninja History

Space Ninja Cave Painting

I first got online in the early 90s. While some of my friends were goofing around on BBS‘s, I was using my dad’s Compuserve account to post icons I had designed for Windows 3.1. Later on, in 1995, I had dial-up Internet access at home, and a friend had shown me Joe the Circle, one of the first webcomics. This really kick-started my interest in web design, and I had a website on Geocities that year. The idea for Yellow Number Five was born around this time. I graduated high school in 1996, and my early website (which was already coded by hand) moved to Xoom, and then later to my first ISP, SpiritOne, when I started working at Egghead.

Rusty Becomes Rusted

As you have no doubt noticed, Rusty has now become Rusted.KMorg. The reason for this is that Rusted Killing Machines sounds like decaying industrial machinery, as opposed to Rusty, which sounds like your hick cousin from down south, who raises pigs.

Yes, we’re aware that everything is still labeled as Rusty… we’ll be fixing all the references, graphics and links over the next few days.

Rusty Killing Machines

As some of you will no doubt have noticed, WWW.killingmachines.org is now a redirect to RUSTY.killingmachines.org. Please change any links or bookmarks to reflect this change. There are a few reasons for the new address. One is that Rusty.KillingMachines sounds really cool. Another is that I’m going to be making some design changes to this weblog very soon. But the major reason is an experiment I will be starting soon.

I’m going to start a ‘zine, which will be hosted on www.killingmachines.org. At the moment, this project is still largely undefined, and is sort of a general interest pop culture webzine. I’m hoping to release it monthly, and I will be performing as editor. I’m currently looking for talent to write for it. If you are interested, send me a sample piece of writing to [email deleted]. Be aware that I will be expecting a new article every month. That being said, it’s wide open. You can write about whatever you like, from humor to news to reviews.

Edit 10/26/2005: Killingmachines is offline, but after www moved to rusty, it moved to rusted, and then ended up here. So you’re already in the right place.
