I haven't updated this website in 2 1/2 months. I'm horribly behind on the Carlos video archive and I'm still not done s3 Tony screencaps, even as the s4 DVD release is right around the corner on Dec 6. I've been really busy with work and blogging and life in general. Also, I've pretty well finalized the new layout for this site, but it's going to be a shitload of work to get all the content transferred over to the new design as well as implement the new features I have planned for the January re-launch. As such, I've resisted pouring much energy into updating the site as it stands during the hiatus, as it will only give me more stuff to switch over when I go to the new layout.
That being said, something happened that I couldn't NOT post. One of our readers, Andrew, mailed me some information on a Podcast from an Australian radio station (Triple M 105.1) that recently broadcast an interview with Reiko Ayeslworth dated October 31, 2005. In it, she mentioned AIG.com. If you'd like to listen to the interview with Reiko, click here to download it. The file is about 5 MB. The part where she mentions this website happens within the first 90 seconds.
Here is a transcript of the relevant portion:
Triple M 105.1 female DJ: Is he hot in real life, Tony Almeida?
Reiko: You know when you see your co-workers, you don't think of them as "icons," as being hot. I mean, I'm not blind. Um, I can recognize it, but after you work with people for 14-hour days, you get that co-worker family mentality, its hard to see how ... you know, they've got a website that he actually reminds me of all the time called Almeida Is God.
Triple M 105.1 People : (laugh)
Reiko: If we're having a really long day, you know, he just comes over and whispers "Almeida Is God."
OH MY FUCKING ALMEIDA is all I have to say.
In other news, it appears as though our forum was either hacked or corrupted somehow, so I've been forced to take it down indefinitely until I can re-install the program. I apologize to all members and we will have the forum back up and running for the January relaunch.
