The stress and pressure involved in making the first post on acts of volition is, as you can surely imagine, enormous. The very thought of millions upon millions of Internet users’ greedily drinking in every word is nearly paralysing. Nonetheless, it must be done.
I would like to thank Steven and Rob, as well as the legions of nameless others who participated in the creation of this site. I realize the excitement of having ones own website is not one which extends very far beyond the proprietors of the website, but if everyone will just pretend to be as thrilled with the concept as we are that’ll be just fine. No matter the level of outside enthusiasm, I know we’ll have fun.
Cheers.

<B>The Forget Laboratory</B> is back in business. Over the next 50-60 hours, we will be churning out updates and new websites galore. Please stay tuned for more information as we casually take over the AOV forum.
Thank You.

The (mis)adventures of of a small town boy in a big city. <B>www.aioku.com</B> has been updated, after a month and two days absence.
And for the record, we are doing this out of the kindness of our hearts, as a community service. There are no counters or statistics kept on any of <B>The Lab's</B> sites. We care not for traffic. "<i>Traffic</I> bad..no <I>Traffic</I>. Forget about it."

After two days and one month, finally, brand new: <b>The Basement Co.</b>.
The music of machines.

On the fragile sloping shoulders of young Master Dorrell, <b>Forget Sports</b> is born.

You always wanted to know where they got the name <b>AOV</b> didn't you?
Well, now <B>you know</b>.

It's been too long since we documented progress. One might think that we've gone back on our word and have not pumped out the enormous amount of content and design that we claimed we would only a few days ago. But then one would be wrong.
Ladies and Gentlemen, a new star is born.
<B>Vancouver Stories</B>.

Not to be outdone, (by whom? no one is trying, nay, no one is even thinking of trying to outdo our madd spastic bursts of phat website action) may I present you, the loyal AOV reader, with another new offering from <b>The Lab</B>:
<B>Mike's Killer Seinfeld Page!</B>
Enjoy.

First, Lecky is gone.
He is wandering around the city of Vancouver with a bottle of wine, a full stomach, and 7 hours to kill before he catches the 6:00 AM no-shit shuttle to Montreal.
But what of <b>The Labs</b>? What of this enormous production you promised? What of the "madd spastic bursts of phat website action"?
Well...fear not.
Due to a low rent fuckaround the hosting people have not put our latest two sites into their proper places, on their own domains. But, since Mike has left the building, and the orgy of creativity that accompanied the last four days is over, I have decided unilaterally, as is my wont, to show you one more thing.
Like it or not.
All my good people: <b>Forget Media</b>
Still one more to come.
Ask <a href="mailto:matthew@actsofvolition.com">Matthew</a> about it if you can't wait, it involves some fiction and some dirt, about <b>Five Feet</b>, if memory serves.
KJB - May 22, 2001 5:58 AM
Okay, okay.
Gone is the brazen cockiness you have grown to love.
Yes, we are all back to business at...ah fuck it:
<b>Five Feet of Dirt</b>.
(Which if it had a slogan would be either: "I-Dentity.com can't do a sub-host in less than 72 hours" or <b>"Fuck Netscape"</b>).
