xJAYMANx_toybox was launched November 29, 2006 as a self-hosted and hobby-oriented complement to my more-general LiveJournal “xJAYMANx”. Why name this blog “toybox”? Well, after creating my LiveJournal “xJAYMANx_remix” in July 2005, then my LiveJournal “xJAYMANx_scifix” in August 2006, I guess I stuck with the “two-syllable ends-with-the-letter-x” format for my journals and blogs! (Afterwards, I continued the pattern with my Blogger experiment “xJAYMANx_weblox” in March 2007.) Besides, “toybox” fits well with my new hobby-centered theme. Don’t you think? ^_^;

xJAYMANx_toybox was redesigned and relaunched on April 5th, 2007 as Toybox 2.0, along with the identically redesigned xJAYMANx.com Version 5.0. Integrating the blog and website together, this huge-header and triple-column design is called “Black Toybox 2007″. On August 10th, 2008, the Toybox was upgraded from WordPress.org 2.0 to 2.6, and was relocated from xJAYMANx.com/toybox/ to xJAYMANx.com/toyboxx/. But the Black Toybox continues to prosper today, as of December 2008.

About xJAYMANx

xJAYMANx grew up with a predilection for science, mathematics, drawing, and those ubiquitous LEGO blocks, building anything from racing cars to Star Wars fighters and transports. Beginning his college career in Architecture and Psychology, he somehow ended up with a degree in Civil Engineering. Bouncing around from his home state of New York to Cleveland, Ohio, xJAYMANx inevitably married and settled in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1998 (and amicably divorced in 2006). Tinkering with web design, enduring some data entry and suffering brief but necessary stints as a mortgage agent and licensed Realtor, xJAYMANx currently and thankfully works as a technical writer/editor for TRIRIGA (a leading Software-500 company), and unabashedly plays as a newfound otaku/collector of anime series, soundtracks, and figures.
