November 28, 2007 (3:00am est): I've added another link to the menu for one of my new favorite webcomics: Truck Bearing Kibble. It's somewhat similar to PBF, but has its own flavor. Definitely check it out... -stf |

November 15, 2007 (1:00am est): Back in July of 2005, our This Is Bill skit "Beauty Sleep" was featured on G4 Tech TV's "Attack of The Show" as the "Web Classic" video clip. I managed to capture it on tape and at long last I have put it on the site. Here is the video:

November 14, 2007 (4:00pm est): I have developed a new page/section for the site. I have tenatively put it under the Other Stuff section for now. It is called Strange Google Trends and displays stange trends that we have found while messing around with Google's innovative Google Trends search phrase comparison tool. I have posted four so far. Click here to check them out... -stf |

November 1, 2007 (6:00pm est): Well, we thought we were rapidly approaching 1500 redneck jokes. Turns out, Microsoft Word was miscounting them and we needed 71 new ones rather than 30 to reach 1500. We have reached that today. This is one of our largest redneck joke updates in a very long time, so enjoy it! The mobile page has been updated with the new jokes as well if you want to check them out on the go and the random generator is also updated... -stf |

|
September 20, 2007 (4:30pm est): Sorry for the lack of updates in the past few days. I was busy with various things, one of which is a brand new photo manipulation, which has now been posted to the Photo Manip page. You can click the thumbnail below to see it... -stf

|
September 17, 2007 (5:30pm est): I have fixed the problem that I mentioned yesterday, so the music and audio files should now work again on the mobile page. Also, I've added one more Rutless task summary to that section... -stf |
|
|
September 16, 2007 (3:00am est): There has been a bit of difficulty with the music and rutless audio files on the mobile page and they will be down for awhile, however, I am happy to announce that, as of the completion of the upload, the videos on the This Is Bill mobile page are now up ... -stf |
|
|
September 14, 2007 (12:15am est): I have been working hard on completing the mobile web page. As of now: the This Is Bill page is up, but without videos, the Rutless page is up with only 2 tasks so far, the Music page is up and complete, the Photo Manipulation page is up and complete, the Absolut Vodka Ads page is up and complete, the Redneck Jokes page is up and complete, and the contact page is up and complete. The only page I have personally had any issue with in testing the site is the Photo Manipulation page, as my phone's web browser is excessively crippled and has trouble loading all of the images on the page. If you experience any trouble with the mobile page or have any feedback at all, I would love to hear it. You can either leave it in the forum or send an email... -stf |
|
|
September 13, 2007 (1:00am est): I've added my most recent Photo Manipulation from Photoshopcontest.com, which I did a few months back. Click the image below to see it or visit the Photo Manipulations page to see the rest... -stf

September 11, 2007 (12:15am est): Despite the fact that more and more mobile web browsers are capable of viewing standard web pages, I have decided to make a WAP compliant Mobile Web Page for Billtvshow.com. Thus far I have completed a basic page layout, the page for This Is Bill minus videos, the Absolut Vodka Ads page, and the Rutless page with one task on it. You can visit it on your mobile phone web browser by going to http://m.billtvshow.com, however if you visit it from your regular web browser, it is not likely to display correctly. As I continue to build and complete the mobile site over the coming days and weeks, I plan to integrate it more fully into the standard website, perhaps with auto-redirecting if the site detects that you are on a mobile web browser... -stf |

September 10, 2007 (3:45pm est): I have made an update to our Sitemeter visits counter to reflect our total visits score more accurately. Sitemeter severely under counts our daily visits. For example, while it says 60 visits per day right now, it is actually more like 250. That discrepancy adds up fast, thus you may notice the count has been bumped up by over 200,000 visits, as I have not made an update to it in about 2 years. The count will continue to fall behind the actual visit levels, but I will try to keep it updated more often... -stf |

September 10, 2007 (12:15am est): I'm back after the weekend with the counterpart to the Absolut Angel Ad. Click the image below to see Absolut Devil and visit the Absolut Vodka Ads page to see all the rest... -stf

September 7, 2007 (2:45pm est): I probably won't be able to post too much over the weekend, so here is one more Absolut Ad to satisfy the hunger. Click the image below to see the new one and visit the Absolut Vodka Ads page to see all the rest... -stf

September 5, 2007 (3:30pm est): I have added a new link in the menu for the PSCRoll, which is an image "worm" that the users of PSC have put together. It is an ongoing project to create the world's longest single image. As of this post it is 74084 pixels long, which is 1029 inches at 72 dpi (85.75 feet). There is a flash version of the scroll, which uses some of my music for the background music, and there is also an html version. Go check it out... -stf |

September 5, 2007 (10:00am est): I have added the 4 new Pandora's Beatbox songs to the music page that were not yet listed. At the least, you should definitely check out The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Here are the links to the 4 new ones.
6 - Star Wars Medley (1:38, 1.5MB)
7 - Come On Baby (1:09, 1.1MB)
8 - Pokemon Theme (1:03, 1.0MB)
9 - The Lion Sleeps Tonight (1:28, 1.3MB)
Also, after a recount, I've discovered there are 1470 redneck jokes on the list now and have updated that count on the pages. When the next 30 have been created and we reach 1500, we will add a 4th page for the jokes, as we do a new one every 500 jokes... -stf |

August 31, 2007 (11:00am est): Sorry Wrong Window has fizzled and has been demoted to the "Other" section. I made all the standard adjustments to linkage throughout the site menus and sitemap. Also, I updated the contact/staff page. Additionally, I finally moved the old news off the front page and left only the last two months on the front. Rutless Season 2 ended on a bit of the down. Only Todd and I finished the "This Is... Bill" task and neither was good enough to make an episode, though you may see mine in an outtake. The Crucial Links are also updated. Several of the sites on there had let their domains expire and I replaced them with some of my favorite webcomics sites... -stf |
|
|
August 31, 2007 (10:20am est): There are 34 new redneck jokes up. I have also updated the Random Redneck Joke Generator with the new jokes. You will have to download it again if you want the new ones in the generator... -stf |

May 3, 2007 (2:30pm est): Rutless Season 2 will begin next week. Look for the first task on Saturday and see who gets it on Sunday and how it went on Monday. If you are unfamiliar with Rutless, go to the Rutless section and read back through Season 1. There are some classic posts in there... -stf |

February 8, 2007 (11:00pm est): As requests for a complete beatboxing album have increased, I decided to remaster one of the existing recordings and make some cuts. I moved all of the alternate versions that will not be used on the album into a "Cuts" folder, as well as "What A Wonderful World", which has now been cut. That leaves Danny Boy, Amazing Grace, I've Been Workin' On The Railroad, and our latest offering: The Mario Theme. And, yes, we wrote the lyrics to it.
