Home About Us

Welcome to ChaliceMedia,

rabbit and questionmark logoHere's some helpful information.

We create (fictitious) story worlds, and the people, places, and organizations that inhabit them for a realtime expanded reading experience. Our dual-purpose stories not only provide fun reading, but also serve as research and development platforms to anticipate changes in the reading experience driven by technology, time, and interest.

If you are a content producer (publishers, writers, musicians, filmmakers, marketers, et al), our websites can provide you with ideas and working prototypes of our emerging media architecture. Our sites and presentations can teach you about tools you can use for your own deployments, and an array of examples provided by our own multi-platform creative projects. Browse, learn, and contact us.

Many people wonder about the uses of "us" and "we" throughout this website, when they know that it's just Ron doing everything. True...when the page was created...but Ron's dream is to build something that will allow us to employ a number of our neighbors, right here in our LOCAL (e.g. NOT Offshore, BestShore, SomeShore) community.

There are company search engines out there that report us as multimillion dollar corporation with hundreds of employees. Evidently some BOTS haven't been taught the word (fictitious) which now appears at least sixty+ times on the pages of this website, and appears clearly on EVERY one of our websites which represents a fictitious entity.

And... no... since ChaliceMedia LLC is not publicly held, I do not release any information regarding revenues or expenses. As of 27 January 2012 at 14:40 MST, this is a SINGLE EMPLOYEE company.

Thanks,
Just Ron B^)

Advertising Policy

E-mail Print PDF

This advertising policy applies to all ChaliceMedia websites - Effective 24 Feb 2012

1. Limited Use: Advertising will only be displayed on websites for which it is appropriate.

  • Our education websites will not contain any advertising matter or materials
  • Websites for fictitious organizations, e.g. Acolytica.org, Boulder-Springs.us, will not contain advertising when the common practice for a real-life counterpart to the site e.g. government would NOT utililize advertising.
  • Websites for fictitious media organizations e.g. Solace Creek Statesman, York Broadcast, will contain real advertising because their real-life counterpart organizations would do so.

2. Ad Free Zones for Kids: We will not display advertising on any site that primarily contains content suitable for children. Children have far more important things to do in life than deciding what stuff to buy. Our Ad Free Zone sites are identified by this logo:

Important Information About ChaliceMedia Creations

The primary purpose of ChaliceMedia is to create FICTITIOUS story worlds for unlimited types of media and multimedia, including online environments. All characters, places, companies, and organizations that are part of either our story worlds or other online and media environments are FICTITIOUS creations, any resemblance to actual persons, places, companies and organizations is unintentional. In certain cases characters, places, companies and organizations may be a satirical representation of a public entity.

Imagine our dismay to find parts of our fictional world showing up in websites as real entities, our characters as real people, with companies claiming that they can provide REAL BACKGROUND CHECKS and historical information. Could it be that we are doing our work too well?

ChaliceMedia ensures that every online component of our story worlds contains visible text on every page stating that the people, places, and organizations mentioned therein are FICTITIOUS. As such, ChaliceMedia assumes NO RESPONSIBILITY for any search engine, directory service, recruiting organization, background checks organization, or other trolling spiderbot that REPRESENTS OUR FICTITIOUS ENTITIES AS BEING REAL PERSONS, PLACES, COMPANIES, or ORGANIZATIONS.
