you saw the Iron Man movie, but are you ready for this guy

Obsession du jour: |
Scenario Paintball |
| When a hobby
becomes a full-time job |
In the Fall of 2004, I co-founded
a tactical scenario paintball team known as the Hellions.
It originally consisted of only a small group of friends
who shared very similar tastes in paintball. We had all pretty
much grown up with the notion that paintball is meant to
be played in the woods wearing camouflage, not running around
inflatable barricades in neon blue jerseys. In Spring 2006,
I completely reorganized the team using the United States
Army Special Forces' Operational Detachment-Alpha (ODA) team
concept, and everything finally came together.
Since that time, we have received numerous recognitions
such as Most Valued Team (MVT), Most Valued Player (MVP),
Most Formidable Opponent (MoFo), Valor and Sportsmanship awards.
Additionally, we have become fairly well known in the Upper
Midwest through appearances in various industry-related magazines
and periodicals as well as major sponsor websites such as Tippmann
Sports. We exclusively play Tactical Scenario or Mil-Sim Woodsball
and are always on the lookout for serious minded players looking
to join a dedicated team. |

Changes in
store for the Web site
|
| LonnieColson.com
is reborn |
After
experiencing numerous issues with the last host, Bravenet,
such as additional fees for practically each and every
service as well as increased monthly rates for comparitively
little space and bandwidth, LonnieColson.com and
all of its associated domains have been relocated to their
new server, GoDaddy.com.
This site was designed years ago when dial-up was still
the norm. There was a time when it looked smart and hip and
pushed the limits of web browsers. It now looks rather quaint
and boring on newer color-rich liquid crystal displays. Where
a 600-pixel banner once filled the screen, it now resmbles
more of a thumbnail image on today's widescreen monitors.
I have begun the exhaustive effort of revitalizing my
home on the Net. The site has been going for over ten years
now and many portions of the site have become outmoded and
irrelevant to my personal life. With the transition still incomplete,
some links may not have been updated even on old pages. As
with all Web sites, there are growing pains involved when seeking
to expand and mature. All of the content will eventually be
redesigned and given a new breath of life. Thank you in advance
for your patience. Sections
A, C and E will be the first to be completed. |
