Welcome to the Toybox! Never forget how to play…

  • WordPress.org 2.x.x
    • 29 Nov 2006 – xJAYMANx_toybox was launched 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 hobby-centered theme. Don’t you think? ^_^;
    • 05 Apr 2007 – xJAYMANx_toybox was redesigned and relaunched 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”.

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 my college career in Architecture and Psychology, I somehow ended up with a degree in Civil Engineering. Bouncing around from my home state of New York to Cleveland, I inevitably settled in Las Vegas in 1998.

The mark of a first-rate Toyboxer is when he-or-she and I can enjoy an unpredictably amusing blog-versation for 3-pair or even 5-pair exchanges on a single post, lol. And especially on multiple posts! Now that’s stamina! Not many can sustain that. But if you’re my type of Toyboxer, you already know what I mean. ^_^

  4. @Richard-OH: Hey, thanx, no problem! I don’t have a 200px-wide banner at the moment, so feel free to design one and I’ll check it out. I should be able to add your 468px banner later this week, if that’s okay. ^_~
