May 8th, 2009 bbcentral For the record, I love Amazon.com. I order dozens of CDs and DVDs through them all the time.

March 12th, 2009 bbcentral I’m now about 97% finished rebuilding Blues Brothers Central (www.bluesbrotherscentral.com)

There’s now a new “secret” page and an Office Supplies store (near-exact replicas of props on the TV show, all artwork recreated by hand).
November 9th, 2007 bbcentral I was trying to configure my server with htaccess to force the “www”. Now, I know there’s a whole cult out there for “No WWW”, but I’m happy to leave it there, that’s where my links go to and it’s not a big deal to me.
