    January 6th, 2002:  Almost 700 new images for you today. I'm about half-way through the update, so you can expect another image update on Monday, along with a new video of the week (it's ModProm!) and I'll also announce the first two weekly shirt winners (check the image submissions page for more on that). There might be an image update tomorrow if I have time (if not, Wednesday), and the search engine is coming along well -- it should be completed by week's end. Lots of exciting things happening all over the site!
    January 7th, 2002:  Lots of new experiences for you today (and expect images tomorrow), including one that I especially wanted people to see -- some advice to those planning on writing experiences (click here). Enjoy!
    January 8th, 2002:  The first two winners of the weekly t-shirt draw are done! I'm doing two this week (even though officially I only promised one, but I'm assuming there won't be any complaints!) Winner #1 is Jon in Goshen NY (for this photo). Winner #2 is Derek in Indianapolis (for this photo). Remember, if you submit photos, submit your address and shirt size as well to be entered in the draw -- to be entered you MUST follow the instructions on the add pictures page. Good luck!
    January 10th, 2002:  A pile of new experiences for you today, and work on the search engine is going well. It will DEFINITELY be up and running by the end of the weekend. Enjoy the update! (Oh, and sorry about the IAM site being up and down -- we're having hardware problems on that machine.)
    January 13th, 2002:  Just a little update today -- it was actually a training excercise for Rachel who has volunteered to help me keep up with the submissions. Expect another image update tomorrow (a much bigger one).
    January 14th, 2002:  OK, actually, it's experiences today it turns out, and more images tomorrow. Enjoy! (Oh, and there will probably be a new video tomorrow, as well as the winner of the t-shirt draw being announced).
    January 15th, 2002:  Another medium-sized update for you with more images coming tomorrow. More importantly, we've got the first draft of the suspension FAQ online! Check it out.
    January 16th, 2002:  All caught up on images finally. Sorry it took a couple extra days. I've got the weekend to myself, so I'll edit two or three videos for you then. And now, what some of you have been waiting for -- the winner of this week's submitter shirt is Ryan from Rockford, IL for this photo.
    January 18th, 2002:  A pile of experiences for you (including a tattoo experience from me). I think I might post another video this weekend, so if you're not a member and don't have access to the full archive, you should definitely download the current one.
    January 22nd, 2002:  Lots of new images for you today... Also, I should mention that tons of development work is being done on IAM over the next month, and there will be periods of downtime. This sucks for me, because every time the site goes down for even 15 minutes, I get fifty jackasses emailing me to complain (even though it's a free site, and the downtime was announced as being required to improve the site)... Oh well, I'd rather put up with 10 idiots for every good person, than take the site away from pepole who really do care for it... Finally: This week's shirt winner is Jason G. from Columbus Ohio (for this picture) -- your shirt is on it's way!
    January 25th, 2002:  Important note: We will be out of town and away from computers until next Wednesday and will not be able to answer support mail until then.
    January 25th, 2002:  Experiences AND images for you today! Enjoy.
    January 30th, 2002:  We're back! If you didn't know, we were out on the east coast checking out the site for our new home and the new BME offices. Anyawy, we're back now, and are just starting to get things caught up. There's a small image update for you today. Probably tomorrow I'll put up the experiences, and then a full catchup on images Friday. Enjoy!
    February 1st, 2002:  The winner of this week's t-shirt is Erwin Mabilat from Bourges, France for this photo. Congratulations!
    February 9th, 2002:  Lots of new images for you today (831 I think) with tons of cool photos all over the site. I should also mention that this week's shirt winner is Laura in Missouri for her BME/HARD gallery submissions.
    February 11th, 2002:  On top of the experience update, I have two things to announce to you today. First of all, there's an interview with PLP56: Ass Extreme that's been added to BME/People. Secondly, the prototype for BME/Risks is up and running. I've still got encylopedic amounts of data to add to it. Please check it out, and if you have things to add, it would be greatly appreciated.
    February 15th, 2002:  Just under 400 images for you today... Sorry about the errors in the update; we're currently in a "training phase" -- moving BME from being a one-man project to an entity that actually has staff is far more complicated than one would think. It's not easy to explain six years of tricks and specialized knowledge! Anyway, the end result will be that I have more time to do the really neat stuff. Enjoy!
    February 18th, 2002:  A small update for you today, although there are some interesting things, such as the seeds of our labial stretching gallery in BME/extreme (if you're interested in this subject, please help out), as well as a number of cosmetic updates. This update was done almost entirely across a net connection, rather than on our "mastercomputer", since as you may know, we'll be in Amsterdam from the 20th until the end of the month. This will allow us to still do some work on BME during that timeperiod. Anyway, we'll do a full image update in the next day or two. Enjoy!
    February 19th, 2002:  Lots of new images for you today, including lots of rare stuff in BME/HARD including amputations, clitoral removal, and other particularly exotic mods. Please note that we'll be out of town until month's end so support email will not be answered until our return. Not that it's a big surprise but this weeks shirt winner is Puck for all those UK munch pix. Since I think I've been doing "9 day weeks", I'm a little behind on the free search. As such, we're sending out a second winner, and this one is (by random draw Puck actually also one the next two shirts, but you can only win one!) Meniak for this nape piercing. Anyway, enjoy the update, and I'll try and post a video before I leave as well...
    March 4th, 2002:  Our first experience update from the crash. If you submitted an experience more than a week ago, and it's not in the update, please resubmit it. The files were probably lost when the drive went down. Also, megathanks to the folks over at SuicideGirls for sending a VERY HOT gallery for us to post. Hopefully we'll be seeing more from them in the future.
    March 7th, 2002:  Lots -- and I mean LOTS -- of new images for you! Enjoy!
    March 8th, 2002:  Lots of new experiences for you today, including quite a number in BME/extreme. Enjoy!
    March 13th, 2002:  Sometimes a bonus gallery so hot comes in that I have to make an update dedicated just to that gallery. Today is such a day! There's a little sample on the cover, but almost 200 new images have been added to the Dark Delilah gallery in BME/HARD (along with her friends Boris and Basia). I'm very happy about this set -- the thing I love about BME/HARD versus porn sites, is that BME/HARD documents real people having real sex and really enjoying it. BME/HARD is unquestionably dedicated to one thing: being happy.
    March 14th, 2002:  I seem to have some sort of mystery illness which includes disorientation and seizures. In about then minutes I'm off to the doctor, but it might mean I can't update for a little while if they decide to hold me for tests... I managed to slip in some experiences for you though!
    March 20th, 2002:  Well, I've been ordered by the doctors to take it easy, but we have a "small" (about 700 image) update for you today. Expect another, quite possibly much larger one tomorrow -- I'm only about a third into my backlog. Also, and more importantly, THE MODCON BOOK IS IN STOCK!!!
    March 21st, 2002:  A smallish update for you today, but because of the backlog I'm trying to at least do a small update every day until I'm caught up. Also, I wanted to mention that there have been arrests in Jacksonville Florida of a number of people for performing "surgery without a license". I'll do my best to keep you updated on that, as well as providing contact information for those that would like to contribute to a defense fund.
    March 22nd, 2002:  Lots and lots of new experiences for you! Enjoy!
    March 24th, 2002:  STILLLL working through the backlog, but there are almost 700 new images for you today. I'll probably post some experiences tomorrow, and then hopefully be totally caught up on Tuesday or Wednesday. Also, if you haven't noticed, I've been rewriting the FAQs, and have even added a few... Check it out.
    March 26th, 2002:  A small pile of new experience for you today... Enjoy!
    March 28th, 2002:  Lots of great new pix for you today (especially if you're a BME/extreme reader). I've still got around a thousand photos in the backlog, I'm sorry it's taking so long to get through it -- it just keeps getting bigger! Also, sorry about not updating the video of the week lately -- when I'm flooded, the freebies fall by the sideline. That said, in a few days I'll be giving away I think four free shirts. Don't worry, if you sent photos in a week where a draw wasn't done, your name will be included. Anyway, enjoy the update!
    April 1st, 2002:  A pile of new experiences for you today -- thank you especically to the increasing number of people contributing experiences to BME/extreme. They are very much needed there, and I really appreciate it when people go to the effort.
    April 2nd, 2002:  Now that's an update! Over 1500 new images for you today, and if you're a fan of BME/extreme and BME/HARD, there's A LOT of great stuff!
    April 10th, 2002:  Almost a thousand new photos for you today, and I've also got a video all ready for posting that will go up in the morning!
    April 12th, 2002:  A bunch of new experiences for you today... enjoy!
    April 17th, 2002:  Just a tiny, tiny image update... Sorry -- it got started, and then I realized I had some pressing things I had to do first. A big big update will likely be posted tomorrow.
    April 19th, 2002:  Sorry these last two updates have been so small -- my internet connection is via one of these cable companies that's been all messed up by the dissolution of @HOME, so I've had very little proper online time over the past week. If it doesn't get repaired within the next few days I'll switch to a new provider -- I have thousands of great images to upload, along with loads of experiences...
    April 22nd, 2002:  Well, I have an update all ready, but the trick is going to be uploading it. If you're reading this, I was successfuly.
    April 22nd, 2002:  Oh, and I almost forgot -- two shirt winners this update. Winner #1 is Steven from Oregon for this picture. Winner #2 is Lara from Ontario for this implant picture.
    April 25th, 2002:  272 experiences! Mega update! Enjoy. ..
    May 1st, 2002:  A nice huge update for you today, including a lot of VERY cool rare photos. Enjoy the 1000+ new images!
    May 6th, 2002:  Small experience update for you today, plus I'll be uploading a new video by day's end. Also, I realized that I forgot to announce a shirt winner last week... so... Last weeks winner is Jeffrey from Dallas for this (very win-suitable) picture of his team BME tattoo! ,
    May 9th, 2002:  Small update for you today, with another tomorrow hopefully. Also, if you didn't notice I also posted a new video.
    May 10th, 2002:  Well, another small update, but all these smalls ones do add up to one big one! As a point of trivia, I added 3,741 images in January, 3,260 in February, 3,017 in March, 3,537 in April, and in the first ten days of May I have added 1,591 so far.
    May 15th, 2002:  Important: I am moving across the country on Tuesday (the 21st), so please cut me some slack on responding to email and updating over the next two weeks. Anyway, enjoy this update. Also, I've thrown all the ModCon videos up as well, but if you want to watch those, it's a separate membership. Also, if you're into surface piercings, be sure to read the new article that's been posted to that section (click here). There will be probably one more update before I go (experiences), and then a huge one when I'm back online out east. Oh, and to those of you coming to the BBQ on the 20th (directions), see you soon!
    May 17th, 2002:  Last update before the move, but it's a big one.... Hundreds of new experiences for you!
    May 27th, 2002:  I'm baaaaaaack!!! Well, I'm resettled now in beautiful New Brunswick (if you'd like to see where, look at the BBQ info page). I'm still on dialup, so things are going to be a bit slow for at least a week more, but I am steadily getting all caught up. Today's update brings me current to submissions as of about a week and a half ago. Oh, and make sure you check out Samppa's new gallery in BME/Art (a subsection of BME/News).
    June 1st, 2002:  Experience update today, and then in a couple days I'll start the huge task of getting re-caught up on the images. Thanks for all your patience!
    June 3rd, 2002:  OK, I'm finally digging into this backlog generated from all the moving around. Today I got through the first third of it, and I'll tackle the rest of the next couple of days. Enjoy!
    June 5th, 2002:  Well, another 300 pix for you today... I'm still chewing through the backlog, so I'll be squeezing in lots of little updates like this one until I'm done. I've got a few cool things on the go as well, including a stellar events section that has a "distance engine" built in so it can fine tune itself easily to your needs.
    June 6th, 2002:  A bunch of experiences today! Enjoy!
    June 9th, 2002:  I've been getting almost no sleep lately. I'm way behind on work, so I got up early this morning and added almost 1300 new images to the site... That brings me totally up to date on images.
    June 15th, 2002:  Experience update along with suspension and convention photos for you in today's update, and then an image update to follow (since I'm out of town next week).
    June 16th, 2002:  First, enjoy the update -- there are almost a thousand great new images for you. Also, I am out of town until Friday or Saturday so I likely won't be able to answer email until then.... Now... I just realized that I haven't given away shirts in a month, so this week we've drawn FIVE winners... In order that the robot drew them, they are Knut in Norway for this picture, Sean in Maryland for this picture, Veronique in Quebec for this picture, Linda in Sweden for this picture, and Michael in Boston for this picture.
    June 22nd, 2002:  I rewrote some of the experience processing software, so that's making things a little easier here -- adding the 130+ new experiences today only took a fraction of the normal time consumed. Anyway, enjoy the update and watch out for an image update in a day or two.
    June 23rd, 2002:  OK, I started working on an image update for today, but I'm just too wiped out to finish it all... So... You'll have to live with just 277 new images today, and I'll get the rest added hopefully tomorrow.
    June 24th, 2002:  OK, caught up -- today and yesterday a total of about a thousand new images have been added (including quite a lot of really interesting -- and really hot -- stuff). Now... drumroll please... the winner of this week's t-shirt draw is.... Noot from England for this great scarification picture.
    June 24th, 2002:  Also, I'm a little worried that some of the passwords this time didn't get sent out. If you're in this update, but didn't get a password, drop me a line so I can look into it. This most likely applies to people who submitted images a little while back that didn't get processed until now for some reason.
    June 27th, 2002:  A pile of new experiences for you today, and, perhaps more importantly, a new video to download -- as you can tell I finally got my video editing hardware running again!
    July 3rd, 2002:  Five hundred new images for you today, and I should have another five hundred in a day or two. Got stalled by the big July 1st BME BBQ here, but things are back on track now!
    July 5th, 2002:  Experience update for you... I should also note that we have up for download a 16 minute long video from the last BBQ here in Toronto. You can click here to download it in MPG (352x240, 163 MB) format, or click here to download it in DivX-5 (540x360, 54 MB) format. Enjoy, and many thanks to Bobbin for hosting the video.
    July 6th, 2002:  Over a thousand new images for you to enjoy today! Also, you may have noticed that I've been slowly upping the resolution of images used on BME... Please vote on the main poll and tell me if you think I'm doing the right thing.
    July 13th, 2002:  I've got five hundred and change new images for you today, and I'll get at least that many again added in a day or two. Enjoy!
    July 16th, 2002:  Enjoy! I've finished the backlog, and there are over 750 new images for you today... I'll do an experience update tomorrow, and announce a few shirt winners as well.
    July 17th, 2002:  Almost two hundred new experiences for you today. There was on in BME/extreme's implant section that I wanted to draw people's attention to. I have placed a free version of it here for people without a membership. As time goes by I'm seeing more and more implants coming back with serious complications, and more disturbingly, many of the "big name" artists doing them appear to be hiding this fact from the public. So please, get both sides of the story!

Also, time to draw some new shirt winners! I'm going to draw four (I think that's an extra one, but hey, I'm feeling good today):

Winner #1: Dylan from Philadelphia for this picture of his tongue piercing.
Winner #2: David from Boston for this picture of his industrial.
Winner #3: Bryan from Alberta for this picture of his PA.
Winner #4: Souji from Japan for this picture of his beadings.

Thank you to everyone who's been helping out! BME wouldn't exist without you!
    July 24th, 2002:  I was going to do a full update today, but about a quarter of the way in I realized that I could greatly improve the quality of many of the images on BME if I altered the scaling routines just a little. So... I'm going to do that now, and complete the update tomorrow... Enjoy what's here, and expect more tomorrow.
    July 25th, 2002:  First of all, let's pick two shirt winners.... first we have Bert from Belgium for this photo of his nipple scalpelling, and then we have Big John from Panama City for this photo of his nipple pumping.... Hey, let's draw a third too, I'm in a good mood. The final winner this week is Kersten in Germany for this picture of her genital piercings and tattoos.
I should also mention that I have two new email servers set up offering free BME email accounts. For people who have BME tattoos, there's @TEAMBME.COM, and for the stars of BME/HARD (that is, people with bonus galleries or significant contributions), there's @BMEHARD.COM.
    July 26th, 2002:  ...And now some experiences for you as well! Enjoy, and expect the next update on Tuesday hopefully.
    July 31st, 2002:  A nice even 100 experiences for you as an end-of-month treat...
    August 2nd, 2002:  Talk about a big update -- tons of images for you today!
    August 6th, 2002:  It's just a tiny update today, because it's a "test update" for the new submissions tools. While you can still submit images the old way (by email), I've added a suite of really cool (and easy) submissions tools to iam.bmezine.com -- just click the "Help IAM!" link at the top of the main IAM indexes. If you submit that way, you'll have complete control over how your images are submitted, and you'll get to link them to your IAM page so people can find you, and you'll also be able to fully credit the artist. Thanks for helping, and expect the full sized update on Thursday.
    August 8th, 2002:  Nice big update for you today; well over a thousand new images. Also, they're starting to be submitted via the IAM gateway, so you'll see that there are many that have extended descriptions and some even contact information... Although I accidentally deleted the suplemental info on many of the tattoo submissions while working on the software -- my apologies, it should be resolved now. In any case, enjoy the update, and here are two shirt winners: Tre-C for this pic of her dermal punching, and Martin for this photo of his navel piercing. Thanks, and see you in a few days with an experience update.
    August 10th, 2002:  Tons of experiences for you today! Enjoy, and see some of you at the BBQ tomorrow.
    August 13th, 2002:  Today's small update is a "test" -- every image here, including overall the section and choice of description and all that was done by the submitter using the IAM submissions gateway, rather than me having to do it all myself. You'll also see now that many, many images link back to the person who sent them, so I hope that this will help open dialogs and make new friendships (do I see the world with rose coloured glasses?). Anyway, enjoy this update, and I'll do a bigger one (and I mean BIGGER!) in the next day or two with all the images.
    August 15th, 2002:  Another nearly thousand new images for you today -- enjoy! If I'm doing my math right, we're adding over a thousand new images weekly nowadays. Seriously, I'm totally swamped... I'm working on some neat ideas for automating and speeding some of it up though. Anyway, enjoy the update, and expect an experience update tomorrow.
    August 16th, 2002:  Experiences today... enjoy...
    August 21st, 2002:  First, let's announce today' shirt winners. First there's Jason from London (Canada) for this picture of his ear piercing, and then Marsha for this photo from a recent BME BBQ in Australia. Other than that, here's 1024 (a nice power of two number for you binary fans) new pictures for you. Experiences tomorrow!
    August 22nd, 2002:  As promised, lots of new experiences for you to read!
    August 29th, 2002:  Another well over 1000 images for you -- I don't know how I'm doing it! I'm going to run out of drivespace soon! Anyway, I'll do an experience update tomorrow probably, and then there's the big BBQ this Sunday. It's sort of a moving party too as we've relocated the BME cult HQ out to our commune in the farmland of central Ontario. So if it takes me a little longer to get the next image update done, it's on account of the moving efforts. Anyway, enjoy the update, there's a lot of wonderful and amazing stuff in it. Oh, finally, if you're a part of the "cult" (I say that in jest because I was accused of being "like David Koresh" recently), check out the scrapbook project -- it's the third book published by BMEbooks (and fourth if you count the first ModCon book). The second book, to be released in about two to three weeks is "Losing A Hand" by Ed Cushman. I'll make more noise about that soon. Anyway, I've babbled long enough -- enjoy the update.
    August 29th, 2002:  And now the experiences, as promised!
    September 9th, 2002:  So I feel bad because I let more than a week go by between updates, but I hope that the whopping 1,500+ images today makes up for it. On top of the BBQ distraction, I had a total failure of my main machine here thanks to a virus, and we're also in the middle of moving. In any case, enjoy the update; I will have experiences for you tomorrow, and hopefully more images by week's end.
    September 10th, 2002:  As promised, about two hundred experiences for you. Now to go and patch some holes in various pieces of software, and then off to carry boxes to the moving van. Oh, and if you're wondering, I'll announce shirt winners on the next image update (lots of them, don't worry).
    September 16th, 2002:  Enjoy the update! I do my best to get you your thousand-image-a-week prescription. Experiences (and I think three weeks of prizes) to give away tomorrow.
    September 17th, 2002:  Just a small handful of experiences today... As always, we've marked the best ones as voted by the review team on IAM with little red stars.
    September 23rd, 2002:  Just a little update today -- I wanted to upload about 200 of the pending images just to see how it would work. As you may or may not know I am now relocated to an offgrid location (at least as far as higher end amounts of bandwidth are concerned) and am performing this update using a bidirectional satellite.
That said, I do owe you I think four weeks of shirt winners, so... Without further waiting, here's the list:
1. Alex in London, England for this photo from the London BBQ.
2. Tom in Kentuky for this photo of his scrotal piercing.
3. Silentlight in Toronto for this photo from the Toronto BBQ.
4. Tim in Germany for this photo of his lip ring.
5. Clive in Mississauga for this photo from the Toronto BBQ.
I added an extra shirt to make sure everyone got a fair go at it.
Anyway, I'll do a second small update later today as well (probably some experiences) to test some other upload methods as well.
    September 23rd, 2002:  Well, here we go with a tiny (smallest ever?) experience udpate... As I said, I'm just testing some new ways of doing things, so please don't think that all updates are going to be this small!
    September 25th, 2002:  I had to get caught up -- I'm sure you were jonesing for an update. Anyway, there's tons of good stuff for you today. Enjoy!
    September 30th, 2002:  Experience update for you today, with images in a day or two. The BBQ (and birthday party) this weekend went very well, with a huge bonfire and many unrepeatable acts. Thanks!
    October 4th, 2002:  Lots of new photos for you, as always... BME is getting more submissions than ever -- thank you, keep 'em coming!
    October 9th, 2002:  A pile of new experiences for you today, and then images in a day or two. Enjoy!
    October 11th, 2002:  Lots of great new pictures for you today! Tons of them! Anyway, other than that, please check out the BME scrapbook, now available for pre-ordering! Enjoy!
    October 15th, 2002:  About 75 new experiences for you -- including a few old ones that weren't posted. There seems to be a bug in my spam/virus filter, and it's killing off about one in a hundred experiences. If about two weeks go by, and you don't hear anything about your experience, please let me know and I can see what happened to it. In any case, enjoy the update!
    October 18th, 2002:  I feel kind of guilty -- I got so close to having 1000 images for you, but at the same time, so far away. In any case, enjoy the update... I think it's getting about time to announce another round of shirt winners, don't you? (I like doing them in groups, it seems more fair). So that'll be next time...
    October 22nd, 2002:  Enjoy your weekly does of experiences, there's some good ones! As always, the experiences that were recommended as the best of the best by the review team (which you can join if you're an IAM member) are all marked on the whats new lists with red stars.
    October 28th, 2002:  Wow! It's been just over a month since I gave away free shirts, so that means I owe you guys five winners. So here we go, randomly picked by the bots. In that time period there were 5,749 images added to BME (yes, I'm continuing to average about a thousand images weekly):
   #1: Mark from Kill Devil Hills for this knee suspension pic
   #2: Rikki from Niagara Falls for this picture from the BME bowling party in Toronto
   #3: Elisha from Michigan for this tattoo (stencil) picture
   #4: CBTT from a top secret location for this picture from his bonus gallery
   #5: Sarah from Japan (or is it Vancouver) for this odd suspension photo of Syx
Anyway, enjoy the huge update -- this is the biggest I've done for a while. Also, the scrapbook goes to press tomorrow, so if you want one, better reserve yours soon. Once 500 sell, they're literally all gone and will not be reprinted.
    October 30th, 2002:  It's experience day! Also, today mark's the return of The Publisher's Ring (sort of like an "official editorial") -- it's linked from the opening page. I'm going to try and make this a weekly occurance.
    November 4th, 2002:  Another week, another thousand images. Enjoy!
    November 5th, 2002:  It's experience day today! Enjoy...
    November 13th, 2002:  Sorry it took so long for me to update -- and this isn't even the whole update. I have at least 800 or so more images left to add. My satellite internet connection is failing regularly (the modem has to be replaced), so I'm waiting for a replacement. Until then I'm uploading over dialup. Anyway, I will do at least a small update probably twice more this week still to get caught up without straining the connection too much. Enjoy the update!
    November 14th, 2002:  Experiences today (a fair chunk of them too), and I'm planning on doing another full-size image update tomorrow. Enjoy!
    November 16th, 2002:  Another 600+ pictures for you, but I haven't even made a dent in the backlog (my apologies). I'll probably finish them all up on Tuesday (tomorrow I'll be programming, Monday I'm off to Peterborough to do a radio show). Also, check out the 2002 submission leaderboard. Are you on the list? Either way, enjoy the update.
    November 20th, 2002:  Wow! Over 1700 new images today... I almost had a nervous breakdown adding them all. I've also got all caught up with the backlog. I'm going to go and lie down now, but enjoy the update, and if you're a top-contributor, check the leaderboards -- they've been updated.
    November 25th, 2002:  Experiences for you today; enjoy!
    November 28th, 2002:  I'd wanted to do a full update today (I have something like 2000 images in the queue right now), but I realized for a few reasons it would make sense to do daily updates of about a third that size. Enjoy todays, and look forward to tomorrow's!
    November 30th, 2002:  Enjoy the update -- I'm approaching being caught up and expect to finish on Monday. It's snowing up here in Tweed, Canada, and I'm off the highspeed grids so all BME updates are uploaded via a two-way (no land lines involved) satellite connection (seriously). So if the weather gets real bad, things get pushed back. Anyway, I'm keeping the leaderboards updated, so keep checking to see if you're going to win something cool at year's end.
    December 2nd, 2002:  Nothing but SusCon pix today! Full update tomorrow probably.
    December 3rd, 2002:  Lots new pictures for you today, and this brings me through the backlog again. There will be probably two more full image updates before the end of the year, as well as two or three experience updates (there'll be one tomorrow for sure). Enjoy!
    December 4th, 2002:  Experience update today... Enjoy!
    December 8th, 2002:  There will only be ONE more image update before the new year, in about a week from now (this was the second last one)... So if you want to get in on the yearly top-contributors, everything submitted after that will go into next year's leaderboards. Enjoy today's update!
    December 14th, 2002:  Experiences for you today, enjoy!
    December 18th, 2002:  Well, this is the last update of the year, officially anyway. There will be a number of little updates for various info -- so do check back here occasionally, and expect a genuine behemoth of an update for New Years! Have a safe holidays everyone! ,
