How long have you been a fan of Adventures in Odyssey?
I am not a fan. Noting my extensively
extensive physical makeup and perfectly sculptured bod, I would have to say that in
no way am I related to those electrical devices with two to six (varies depending on
brand and size) blades that generate airflow. *looks around* Oh, hee hee, fan, yeah, um, about six or seven years. :) Sorry
about that...
What is your favorite episode of all time?
Wow...that's a hard one. I
really like episodes with Eugene or Jared in them, and I really like
funny episodes. My favorite though would have to be one with Biblical history in it, because I love
the Word. So when AIO brings one of those stories to life I really enjoy them. I know, I beat
around the bush considerably, all in an effort to avoid directly answering the original
question, but it's one I can't think of a direct answer to at present, so you will have to pardon me and go with what I have
said. ;)
What is your favorite AIO web site?
Hee hee, no it's not
AiOD, but I will take this time to complain a bit about the Odyssey community online.
The official site isn't what I expect for a show like Odyssey. Some of that adventure should
translate online, but I'm afraid it doesn't. AiOHQ is good, but the aesthetical appeal of the site is old
and outdated. In a word "boring". AiOHQ's content is great, but the look is in need of
redesign. Honestly the official site is better.
There are two major forums online, TH and AiOD. Now I know most of you would never expect
me to say what I'm about to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. TH is the best AiO forum online. ;)
No...Jared didn't pay me to say that. The simple reason it's better is because that is where
everyone is. If most fans were at AiOD, AiOD would be better, but currently such isn't the case.
Aesthetically, both forums could use improvement, and they each have their high points,
pros, and cons. The reason I prefer how AiOD looks is because it's kind of like home to me. The old
Mole Boards were the first forum I actively participated in, on a serious basis. So, the style welcomes me like the
smell of fresh cookies baking in the kitchen of a clean and commodious domicile. *looks
around* No...I'm not strange. >:-( Finally I must comment about my favorite AiO site which would definitely be
Odysseyscoop. The content is great, The colors are good, refreshing and clean. I'm a
designer myself and I know when I see good design. You've done a good job with things
Jacob, and I'd love to work with you some time. ;)
If you could meet one actor, who would you meet and why?
Paul
McCusker. :) Just because he reminds me, and kind of looks like, George Lucas of Star Wars. ;)
Which character do you resemble the most and why?
Hmmm, a cross between Eugene and Jared D. I'm the computer, type,
and I love the study of vernacular. I also love the whole gadgetry thing Jared
goes on with, and he's funny, so I think I kind of fit in there between the two of
them. Just not to either of their extremes.
Who is your favorite character and why?
Eugene. He's hilarious and
overly intellectual. Some of the phrases he comes up with are just ridiculous...I love it. ;)
In your opinion, what do I need to change about my website?
While I love the site, there are a few things I would change,
not only for the viewing public's benefit but also for yours, Jacob. We'll talk about
them more extensively in a private situation. Out of
10 stars for web design with 10 as the best, I'd give this site a 6. Don't worry, that's
really good. Alas...if only every site online were a 6. *goes to Geocities*
If you could change anything about AIO, what would it be and why?
The site...
definitely the site. There is so much that could be done that they aren't doing...then
again...look who's talking. :) Never mind.
How do you imagine Whit's End and the town of Odyssey?
I've always seen W.E. as a three-story building. A fairly large
three story building, but three stories nonetheless. The town of Odyssey has always seemed
like any other town. A section for the more affluent, a spot for the middle class, like Whit and most others, and the lower
class section of town, most likely over towards Connellsville. Connellsville I've seen as a
large and somewhat dirty city, while Odyssey is the cleaner, surrounding suburb area.
If you had your own AIO site, what would you put on it?
No stealing my ideas!! I have a site to enhance as well, you
now!! No, honestly, one of the only things your missing on here is the largest forum, but,
alas, TH holds that position. ;) So...you aren't in need of much. I'll contact you about the ideas I have...
What is your favorite section of
whitsend.org?
FoTF really needs to
work on that site...oh yeah...I said that already. Uh...I like the library. It's cool
having access to all the episodes and their vital information.
What is your favorite section of the Odyssey Scoop, my site?
I really enjoyed learning about and seeing the actors
and other such people influential to the edification of AIO.
Do you have any comments or questions?
No questions. I take it you are quite busy as it is. I believe I've
said enough. My interview will probably be the one greatest regretted, out of them all. :)
