What's New at the AAAF Homepage?

07-28-00

YesAsia.com awarded the AAAF Homepage the Site of the Month for July, and it took me nearly the entire month before I realized it. 8-) Check out the News Section to find out more, and I thank you for your continued support!

06-25-00

Earlier this month I was enjoying a relaxing weekend in Lafayette, Indiana, when I came across an e-mail from a fan of this site. So inspired was this fan that he actually began his own Asian American Action Figure site, called the Asian Pacific American Toy Chest. Though it took nearly two years, I finally have a successor. And now I don't feel so bad that I cannot keep this site as up-to-date and informative as it once used to be. I will continue to add new AAAFs from time to time, but I encourage you to check out Loren's Asian Pacific American Toy Chest for all the news and updates in AAAFs! And thank you for continuing to check out my site! (if you're reading this, then you're a true fan!!!)

 

06-18-00

I broke down and went to a Toy Store yesterday and found some Asian Pacific American Action Figures for my collection! Check them out in the Comic Section, under The Legend of Sharkman.

06-14-00

So much for the multiple updates. I've been rather preoccupied lately, but believe me, it's a good thing!!! Anyway, they're shutting down my aaaf@geocities mail account, so I had to go through and change all references to the new account, aaaf.geo@yahoo.com. Kindly use this mail account from now on. While you're at it, check out the updated FAQ Section, and I've finally fixed the Feedback Form (why didn't anybody tell me it was broken?!).  Have a blessed day!

 

02-19-00

Wow, the blood is starting to flow through the fingers again. I can actually provide multiple updates in the same month! That's unheard of!!! Anyway, check out the new items (Original Little People and Playmobil) in the Toys for Tots Section, and be sure to load the images. I've added some more, finally. Also, The Simpsons are finally coming to the action figure world, and you can find out more information about them in the TV/Cartoons Section!!!

02-06-00

Can you believe it, I've actually added some reviews!!! Check out the new Speed Racer action figure reviews in the Anime Section, and the Mega Man, Strider, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim reviews in the Video Game Section.

01-22-00

Well, I guess we're all Y2k Compliant!!! Did anybody have to work on Y2k? I only had to for one day, January 2nd, but it's all good. Anyway, check out the new Rating System from Asianhome.net!

 

10-12-99

Haven't done much of anything. Actually, I've added some more sponsors (e.g., AsianAvenue.com, and CelebrAsian.Com), but I've found that life in "Corporate America" doesn't leave much for Web site maintenance. I have kept up my AAAF collection, however, and am just waiting to write up some more quirky and whimsical reviews of all the new AAAF's coming out! There are a LOT more now than I've ever had to keep up with, so this is a good thing, but on the other hand, it makes maintaning this site a chore. 8-( Nevertheless, the AAAF Homepage is still alive and kicking, and will be updated shortly.

 

07-30-99

Updated the LINKS section, again. 8-)

 

07-21-99

Updated the LINKS section.

 

07-04-99

A scanner in my possession can be a dangerous thing. Check out my Fourth of July greeting page to find out why. 8-)

 

06-13-99

Did anybody notice today is the AAAF Homepage's BIRTHDAY???

 

06-07-99

I'm all moved in to the new place and today I start my new job with Eli Lilly & Company. I don't have any Internet access, nor have I had any for the last 1½ weeks, so I sincerely apologize for any e-mails I may have neglected to respond to. I will get caught up with my e-mails by the middle of this week. I did add some pictures from graduation, and I've found some new pieces for the collection, so I'll be adding the pictures and overviews for those real soon. 8-)

 

05-24-99

I added an interview with popstar Magdalen Hsu Li. Be on the lookout for even more cool interviews!

 

05-22-99

I added a new feature to the NEWS section. Resaurus has established a News Affiliate program, and I've signed up. Now you can be assurred that there will be a new news item every time you check the NEWS page.

 

05-16-99

OK, now that I'm thoroughly enjoying my first real "free time" in like 18 years, I can finally start concentrating on the AAAF Homepage. Here are some things you can look forward to seeing in the coming months:

	Some nice logos and artwork from a REAL artist (thanks Pam!)
	A One Year Anniversary gala
	More interviews!
	Better images of the AAAF's
	More AAAF listings
	More published articles from yours truly
	Improved HTML layout and design
	Fewer spelling and grammatical errors
	Overall, MORE FUN!

 

05-08-99

I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE!!!

I updated Hachiman's listing in the TV/Cartoons page thanks to the feedback from Tom Yeung in Canada; it just goes to show how much I do rely on the feedback from you, my loyal readers. 8-).

 

04-05-99

Whoa, I finally made some viable updates! Sorry for such a lame month of March. 8-(

I updated the Hot List page, and plan to add some more items to the Video Game page soon.

 

03-30-99

Check out CelebrAsian Online! They linked to my site, so I checked them out, and made some purchases immediately! This marks the FIRST TIME I have ever impulse shopped on the Internet, but THIS PLACE IS THAT GREAT!!!

Paperson informed me that Yolk Magazine did a story on AAAF's, but they never contacted me. 8-( Does anybody have a copy of it???

I updated the Links page.

02-20-99

It's the Year of the Rabbit, a.k.a.: MY YEAR, and the festivities all start on February 16th!!!

E X C I T I N G  N E W S !!! I FINALLY got me a SEARCH ENGINE for this site!!! For everyone who has had problems trying to find anything specific here at the AAAF Homepage, you may now use the SEARCH THIS SITE option on the Menu page listed in the AAAF Information Section. Thanks go out to wingsee, of Geocities, and whatUseek.com for the use of their search engine. STAY TUNED for more exciting enhancements and additions to the AAAF Homepage!!!

 

02-01-99

Thanks to Kathy Bender for letting me know about Diamond Comics' bad link on the Jackie Chan action figure. I updated the information on the Want List page, and added cool new information on a Bruce Lee action figure! Check it out!

 

01-31-99

The new year is just rolling right along, isn't it? This semester is definitely making me look forward to graduation! I'm writing about five papers every week!?! In case you hadn't noticed, I've added some links to some on-line stores. I've added these on the Index page, the Menu page, and the Links page. They're great sites, so check them all out! Internet shopping, or E-Commerce, is definitely the way of the future, and it's best to get involved in it now before it gets too cumbersome and crowded.

 

01-23-99

Well, as you can see, I made it back from Taiwan safe and sound. I wish I could've stayed there. They didn't have 20 inches of snow and ice covering the ground for 3 weeks!!! Anyway, I've been spending time working on a picture album site for the Tsunah Culture Study Tour which I took part in. You can get to the page off the main AAAF page, or you can just click here.

 

Oh, that reminds me. I have a new URL!!! Instead of the old, hard to remember AAAF Homepage URL, it's now easier than ever to spread the word about the Web's first and most comprehensive on-line look at Asians and Asian Americans in the world of toys: www.oocities.org/~aaaf.

 

May grace and peace be with you in abundance during this new year!

 

12-14-98

As you may have already noticed, I've spruced up the AAAF Homepage for the Holiday Season. I hope you all have a very blessed and joyous Holiday Season, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or other observances, may grace and peace be with you in abundance. I will be travelling back to Taiwan for the next few weeks, so more than likely there will be no updates for the rest of 1998. I will be on a Culture/Study Tour. Happy New Year everybody! Thanks for helping to make 1998 a very endeavoring and productive year for me (i.e.: my first homepage).

 

12-11-98

Added a brand new page! Check out the Holiday Wish List Section.

 

11-30-98

I hope you all had a very blessed and restful Thanksgiving holiday. I was fortunate to have four very dear friends from Long Island visit me and my father, and I learned that when you have a holiday, you should enjoy it to its fullest potential, rather than try to catch up on school or work. It's taken me four long years to learn this lesson, but I'm glad I did.

 

11-10-98

Updated the Hot List Section.

Be on the lookout for a special article for the new 442nd Nisei GI Joe

 

10-31-98

Happy Halloween Everybody! Though this isn't a holiday I am all giddy about every year, it does give me an excuse to eat tons of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Oh, and I have made some changes here, but they're all structural and in the News Section. Have a great day!!!

Added II Stix WebZine to the Links Section.

Midterms are OVER!!! woo hoo!!! So you know what that means, no? I can finally resume working on a NEW design for the AAAF Homepage! Be on the look out for it in the next couple of months!

Updated the Sports Section.

 

10-01-98

I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for all the skimpy updates lately. I've fallen ill and sprained my back this past week, and on top of 19 credit hours and 3 jobs, I just haven't had the time. I promise though that I am working on some major site redesigning. May Grace and Peace be yours in abundance this day.

09-15-98

New additions to the News Section will no longer be reported in this "What's New" section. It defeats the purpose of having the news section in the first place. 8-) Whenever I add new News briefs, (like I just did today), I will adjust the date next to the Current News link on the main menu page accordingly. I will continue to report all other changes and updates in this What's New section however.
