The Drawing Board

25 years ago today, July 10, 1998, I started a revolution.

I originally called it CN2. Two years later, I called it CNX.

But most folks knew it as The X Bridge. It was one of the first Toonami fansites online back when people used to make fansites (I do miss those days).

I started on GeoCities. I found a home at ToonZone. I helped build communities (the Inner Circle for Life!). I actually helped create a network even though at the time, I really didn't know that's what I was doing! And you know what?

I had fun.

Though the site is kind of comatose at the moment, I have fond memories of what I created at TXB, and one day, when I feel the time is right, I will bring it back.

Now is not that time.

Not yet.

Would be nice if I had some change to get things started. Or at least some inspiration to push me ahead.

But today, I celebrate being online and becoming a storyteller and animation historian for a quarter of a century.

The Revolution Will Be Digitized.

Now these are some interesting finds…
