This is my personal site where I relax and stretch out a bit. I'm not modest so everyone is welcome here - but I made this site for myself and if you are new here then you might find it a bit confusing or difficult to navigate. Unlike the commercial sites that I make this one is roughly half a vanity project and half a place for me to experiment. The content here changes regularly and can vary quite a bit as I try new designs and ideas.

If you are looking for my company website, try www.brukenet.com. If you're looking for the games that were here before, they have all been moved to my gamer website at www.mi-games.com. If you're looking for the AE Imperial web site, it's gone now but the old forum was merged into my personal forum at www.bruke.net/smf/. I no longer host an image gallery here but might bring it back someday.

Right now, the site is divided into several parts -

• Information about me, such as this home page, an about me page, and a contact page. These are pretty much standard pages which talk about me and give me a chance to plug my web design site.
• Convenient links to sites I visit frequently. I use this as my home page and it's easier to navigate through this page than to organize 100 favorites/bookmarks in my browser.
• My forum, which includes sections for humor, philosophy, games, politics, and anything else that catches my attention. My membership has open enrollment and I welcome everyone except spammers.
• My chat room, which doubles as an mp3 player for me due to the large number of songs I've set up to play in it. Everyone is welcome, just as with the forum. The cache is automatically cleared daily. NOTE -- Due to an annoying Russian hacker, my chat room isn't working properly right now. Please be patient as it will be up again in a few days (and with better security).
• My manifesto - every eccentric genius needs a manifesto and my ego demands one. It's a bit unused at the moment, but I plan to change that. I'm sure everyone will want to hear the minutiae of my life. No, not really, but it's a great place for me to play with new Wordpress themes.
• Advertisements. Everyone wants to make money and I'm no exception. I will say that, with the exception of the google ad rotator, I can personally endorse every site I advertise. NOTE -- Ads are currently disabled while I remodel the site.

I have some plans for expansion, including -

• A members only section with file uploads and downloads. Lots of my clients have expressed an interest in this lately so I'm looking to practice it more. Right now I'm thinking it will be free (for now).
• A review sections for comics, webcomics, games, and movies/tv. This is really an excuse for me to test a new rating script that would let visitors comment or rate the stuff I review.
• A game section to distribute materials for my pen & paper RPG games. Some of this content might end up in the members only section, some would be public. My prior online MMO games are being moved to a new site.

As I said, this site is all about me and my personal projects. If you like it and enjoy it, that's great. If you want to contact me with suggestions for new features, go ahead and if they represent an interesting technical challenge then I might just add them to the site. After all, it's all about trying new ideas and expanding my skills.
