It's me! and yes, I'm still alive.
Thank you all for the kind words...I had a lot of fun back in the old days of porn. In the beginning it felt like there were only a handful of people and almost anything you tried ended up making traffic. These days I'd be scared to even dabble in porn since I'd be lost with all the legal red-tape and I can only imagine how tough the competition is?
If you are bored and want to hear what I've been up to since 2002, pull up a chair and pour the tequila. What's everyones favorite tequila? My favorite tequila these days is Galardon...but it's so hard to get now that I go for Tres Generacion. Back to the stories...
I noticed that I'm not allowed to post more than one url so I will try and write them out like GFY dot com. Sorry about this.
Stocks
Some of you may remember that I've always enjoyed trading stocks. This is how I make my income these days and for the last six years I've been averaging in the 17% a year range. After porn I decided to self-publish a book on how I trade. I don't even think I've broken even on the project...I think I spent maybe 5k writing and advertising and then made back about 4k. Every few months a check for $30 arrive which cracks me up. I still trade in the same way I describe in the book. What was I thinking when I picked this domain name? This has to be the worst name. hehe

Sick
As Chio mentioned...in 1998 I got cancer (melanoma) and had surgery. Since then I've had a couple more surgeries and I'm currently cancer-free and generally pretty happy. Cancer will probably get me in the end but right now I'm on top of it and doing well.
Cobras
During the end of my days in porn, I decided the next project I wanted to do was...build a 427 Ford Cobra. The project almost killed me and took two years. Some of you may remember that I started to get big on blogging at the end of my porn stay...and so all my hobbies since then were heavily blogged. Here is my cobra adventure.

I think I budgetted for 40k and ended up spending probably 80k+ when all was said and done. I ended up selling the car to a buyer in Norway for around 50 in 2002. That car was quite fast...if you do a quick horsepower to weight ratio check on any car...try 2600lbs to 579hp.
Engines
I ended up blowing up two engines during the above project and decided the next adventure should be engine-building. I enjoyed engine building so much that I competed in a kind of world championships of it called Jeg's Engine Masters Challenge. Here was my blog about those days.

Virtual Worlds
I've always been into gaming and some of you might remember that I ran Half-life servers out of my house for a long time. In the last four years I've been playing more games like World of Warcraft and Second Life. If you are looking for the next gold-rush, you might start looking at games since virtual worlds are exploding. I did a small project last year and started creating women's hairstyles in Second Life and IMVU...I've cleared over $30,000 in 18 months...just screwing around. That is not porn money, but its interesting money and it is early in the virutal game and I have several friends clearing 200 large, doing the same thing. 200k net...is pretty sweet money working with Photoshop and Maya. The site I used to write about virtual worlds is...

Lips
I did sell Lips.com recently at one of the Moniker convensions. It sold for $135,000 which I was pleased with. If abd old pals are reading this, you can write me now at andy at Wild Bikini dot com
Just Moved
I used to live in Upland California which is kind an hour inland from LA. My wife and I recently moved to Palm Springs...I dig the heat.
Those are my stories and updates. Thanks again for the kind mention. I'm always looking for the next online 'gold-rush' but I'm getting lazier and lazier the older I get. I've lost touch with most porn friends but Legendary Lars and I still talk stocks every few months.
