October 23rd, 2003 | Teeny article...

...but with pics you're gonna want to see!  The article's more of a little blurb, but I stuck it in the articles section because one day (probably when I decide that I don't need to sleep anymore) I'm going to put all the pics from the various articles into one gallery on the media page.  Oh, the plans I have...

Anyway, been trying to upload this all evening, so sorry for the delay.   Many, many thanks to The National Enquirer. <g>  The larger versions of the pictures may take a while to load, depending on your connection, so please be patient!

I'm still working on trying to get hold of something from Bradley's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.


October 19th, 2003 | Articles and an Audio A... File

Everything's connected to Bradley's 2001 Emmy Award today.

The first article I stumbled across is from around the time Noel (the West Wing ep Brad won his Emmy for) aired in the US.

The second is actually a transcript of an AOL online chat that Erica sent me a while back, just after launch.  I stupidly lost the email until this afternoon.  Again it's from around the time Noel aired in the States.  Thank you, Erica, for sending it in!

The audio file is Brad's acceptance speech from the 2001 Emmys.  Many thanks to Sarah at Peace, Love and The West Wing WAVs for the file, and the people on the JB list for finding it!


October 17th, 2003 | Clothes Off Our Back 2003 ~ Update

Added the latest on the 2003 CooB auctions.  I've now removed the CooB links from the Home page (until next year) but the CooB Benefit will, of course, still be featured on the Charity page.

I've removed the cursor roll-over event from all the links site-wide since I've discovered it's annoying and limited to looking good only on a Windows-based platform with Internet Explorer 5 (not even 5+ - IE6 does something weird to it)


October 10th, 2003 | Bradley's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Brad,
Happy Birthday to Brad,
Happy Birthday dear Bradley,
Happy Birthday to Brad!

Just put up a little splash page on site entry.  Should be there until... probably Saturday night (GMT)  Promise next year, when the site's a little more established, we'll do something decent to celebrate!


October 6th, 2003 | Bradley sells the suit off his back, again!

I'm just saying, there should be some kind of international warning system if Bradley's gonna strip in public... ;)


October 3rd, 2003 | Clothes off our Back latest

Just tiny updates to the CooB stuff on the home page, and latest news for how Brad's tux did. 


October 1st, 2003 | Celebrity Poker Showdown

A little news about Brad appearing on a new show this winter.

Also, we're approaching the final hours of most of the "Clothes off our Back" auctions, including Brad's tux.  If you're currently winning an item, make sure you don't get outbid in the final seconds - auctions end today at 8pm (PDT)


September 25th, 2003 | Post Emmy Round Two of Two

I've been channelling my frustration at not being able to get hold of the Season 5 West Wing premiere into updating this site!

News | Brad and co. have scored a new contract with The West Wing

Media Updates:

Audio/Video Files | Two, one audio, one video, from the E! Emmy Pre-show

Stills | A few still photos from the Emmys and I've organised the West Wing page better

Screencaps | Some from the Emmys pre-show and ceremony. Also, caps from Brad's Ellen ep and an appearance at a recent Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF) Fundraiser. (Caught the clip during E!'s Emmy pre-show)

Also, Altavista may not be able to find this site but it did find two articles I hadn't come across before.  Both very topical at the moment since they refer to Cure Autism Now (CAN) and Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), which are the charities that will benefit from this year's Clothes Off Our Back celebrity auctions. Subsequently, I've also updated the charity page.

Finally, nope, the fanfun section still isn't finished, yet.


September 21st, 2003 | Post Emmy Round One

I'm going to add Emmy 2003 material in stages, since it's actually 5am on Sept 22nd for me right now!

Firstly, news recapping the results we care most about here at JB.

Then, if you've been to the front page, you may notice that Brad's selling his clothes.  For charity, of course!  I wanted to promote this as much as possible, so as well as the temporary addition to the home page (it will remain until the auctions end) and the mention on the news page, there's also a new Charity page, which will be the place to find Brad's charity work and information on causes he supports.

Lastly, there's another new link on the nav bar - to FanFun.  At the moment, it doesn't go anywhere, since I haven't actually finished the section yet.  But that's coming soon!


September 10th, 2003 | Short Article

Well, when you run out of screencaps... <g>

Added an interesting article on the technology Bradley uses to make his life easier (last year, tho)


September 8th, 2003 | More Screen Caps

And more new screencaps.  This time from Scent of a Woman.  No 'tache in sight.


September 3rd, 2003 | New Screen Caps

Lookit!  Brad with a 'tache.  Screen caps from My Life added.


August 28th, 2003 | New Article Snippet

Added a tiny article snippet from sometime in 2000/2001. Many thanx to Jeanine for tidying her room!  (and hence finding the snippet - makes more sense now doesn't it?)


August 24th, 2003 | New Interview

Stumbled across an interview with NPR that's taken about three hours to transcribe, but it was totally worth it!


August 18th, 2003 | Launch Day!

Hey there, and welcome to Just Brad ~ An Unofficial Bradley Whitford Fan Site (try saying that when you're sober!)  As it says above, today is launch day so everything on this site is new, at least to this site anyway. </lame joke>

So, take a look around, come join us in the forums or on the discussion list, and let me know what you think - all suggestions are welcome!

And since this is a launch announcement, I'd like to thank some people (in no particular order): Beth, Jeanine, Mags, Chris and Mel.  Rest assured, this is all your [collective] fault. ;p

Tk.
