Well, here we are, supposedly in
spring, but Mother Nature isn't co-operating. We, like many parts of the
world, are still having snow, cold temperatures, freezing rain, and
basically unfriendly cycling weather. Brad is getting anxious to start
cleaning the garage, but the backyard is still full of snow and mud
spots, so hope the sun will shine all week long. Maybe we will actually
have a nice spring after all? Let's hope so, although last April we got
several feet of snow dumped on us.
To cope with this seemingly long
winter, we worked on and launched a new
Support Forum and
Atomic Zombie store. The new
software are much more user friendly, organized and loaded with
features. But, we were unable to import previous forum members and
customers into the new database, so you must re-register (it takes
seconds) on both systems. Sometimes old and new technology don't get
along.
The store doesn't require that you
log in to your customer account get your downloadable project links -
you will receive them automatically
in an email from the store once
your payment is successfully processed. The entire ordering, checkout
and download link receipt is quick and easy.
We are working on some issues with
the second payment processor (hope to have it fixed this week), but for
now, you can still pay with PayPal. You can pay with a credit card, and
don't need to have a PayPal account. If you aren't a fan of PayPal, rest
assured, you don't have to become a member of that payment processor to
pay for purchases.
Many projects on the
Atomic Zombie To Do list, but have had
to push up tentative release dates due to the late spring. Here's what's
tentatively coming up this spring, summer and fall:
Marauder
Reloaded (April)
Lode Runner Delta Trike
(May)
Black Pearl Chopper (June)
Tandem Inline Delta Trike (July)
Tandem Electric Motorcycle (August)
HQ SWB Lowracer (September)
Winter Vehicle (October)
Bike,
Scooter and Chopper Projects for the Evil Genius will be out
some time in May. Keep checking the Support Forum for updates and
announcements. This is a book, and we cannot offer it as a download,
since the copyright is owned by McGraw-Hill.
We have had some problems getting a
steady supply of
Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza
and
101 Spy Gadgets for the Evil Genius,
so thanks for your patience while we work out supplier issues.
Unfortunately, due to insane shipping costs and delays, we cannot ship
books outside of Canada and USA at this time. We're not a multinational
conglomerate that can negotiate cheap shipping rates; just a Zombie, a
Kat and a dawg!
Also, working on updating the
Builder's Gallery - sorry it's taking
so long. We decided to do some much needed home renovations that became
a bit of a nightmare. Almost got the main stuff finished, so will
finally have some uninterrupted time to sit here for hours to upload
your latest creations. Great work, everyone! More amazing builds will be
posted in the next week.
