Cut & Print.ca now On-line
It's the end of an era. What started as a joke is now a legitimate business. After spending 4 years in school and countless hours at working to become a better writer, Jakeopolis.com is now officially Cut & Print.ca. While the change is mostly a cosmetic one, with the changing of a few graphics here and there, it represents almost 1/5 of my life. For almost 5 years, writing movie reviews for Jakeopolis.com was not only a hobby of mine, but a way of life. Going to the movies is a great way to socialize with friends you do not often see or to build links with your family and I took that a step further in letting it shape my future.
Jakeopolis.com might be dead in name, it will never die in spirit. For a select few, like Rob and Laura, Jakeopolis.com represented not just movie reviews but a person. I don’t feel like I’ve changed, but just that it’s become part of a bigger life plan. That plan might end soon or go on to be profitable and noteworthy. Whatever way it goes, it goes. I have no misconceptions of being important. It’s just sad to see it go after all this time.
Jakeopolis.com started in May, 2001 as a writing project. It gave Rob time to hone his web site making skills and it was where I started learning the writing process. The first review ever written was for Shrek and the first pictures showed a much younger and fatter Jake. Rob has been integral to the web site’s development, always tinkering and changing this to make it look just a little bit slicker or updated. He also actually posted reviews that were readable, unlike mine. Thanks man. I appreciated.
And to Chris Barron, Robert Waldman, Pat Toner, Dave Cheung, Robbie Baker, Cousin Garrick (aka The Thai Movie Reviewer) and everybody else that wrote on Jakeopolis.com. Thank guy’s. It was fun while it lasted.
Welcome to Cut & Print.ca Anybody is able to write. Much like the mandate of Cut & Print Magazine, if you want something published, we’ll publish it. Remember that. And use it.
Without further rambling’s from a man stuck in the past I give you Cut & Print.ca.

Hey,
Anybody know where I can cash in on the internet? I'm desperate to talk to some real professional money makers online! :)
Perhaps you should learn to spell-check your publication. Also, posting it online within a week of it hitting the streets would be a good thing. Then once done, perhaps making sure the LINK works.
Just an idea.
Well anonymous (or should I call you the person that e-mails me every month with the same damn complaint) -
The Magazine will never, ever, hit on-line before the print date. It won't even show up a few days after. We want you picking up the print copy and glancing through that.
If you're out of town, well, we just don't give a damn - sorry.
Plus, if the minor mistakes, which are bound to happen considering everybody works full time with the magazine being a side project for all of us, bother you. Don't read it.
That's your choice, not ours. We put it out there for free. We're not asking you to pay for it.
E-mail me any time and we'll chat about the problems you have.
Regards,
Jake
