WOW! I had the I met the fabulous Allison Mack today!  Come check out the details at my An Hour with Allison page.

04/19/2007:

Big new Ezra game up! Go to justice.cwtv.com to check out the all-new content.  The project is called "Smallville Legends: Justice and Doom" and traces the origins of the Justice League... But our very own Ezra and Beppo are intimately involved in this massive media extravaganza!  Hopefully you caught the first on-air animation during "Progeny."  The animation is available at justice.cwtv.com if you missed out.  More is to come!  Go register to be part of the game and get in on all the action.  For more information, see my new Justice and Doom page!

Also, as you can see, SESPS got a huge face-lift thanks to Tabby of AllisonMack.com.  She is an absolutely amazing software engineer and deserves all of the credit for the redesign.  Let me know what you think of the new look!  Oh, and there are bound to be some technical glitches because I'm trying to integrate Tabby's code into my site, so please, PLEASE email me with a specific page name and general description of the problem(s) if you spot anything icky!  Thanks!

04/10/2007:

SESPS just hit the 15,000 visitors mark! Thanks to all of you for making this site a success. On that note, let me announce a site redesign (courtesy of AllisonMack.com's Tabby) will be coming in the next couple of weeks.

04/08/2007:

Get ready for an absolutely HUGE Ezra Small game coming April 19!

11/12/2006:

I've updated solutions to some of the puzzles on the Tribute to Rich's World page.  More needs to be done, so keep the good work coming!

10/27/2006:

I'm continuing to add to the Kryptonian Symbols and Writing page since more keeps appearing (most recently in "Reunion").  Stop by the Kryptonian Gallery and scroll all the way down for the additions.

10/05/2006:

I've added new stuff to the Kryptonian Symbols and Writing page after the appearance of lots of intriguing writing in the Season 6 premiere, "Zod."  Check out the Kryptonian Gallery and scroll all the way down for the additions.  Also, in other news, I am now a Moderator over at the KryptonSite Message Boards, so if you're a member, be on your toes, tee hee.  If you're not a member, why not head on over and join the absolute best "Smallville" fan community today?

09/25/2006:

I've updated the Tribute to Rich's World page (finally!) to include all of the extra puzzles Rich has put up over the summer.  Head on over and take a look, because there are lots of puzzles that still need solving!

09/23/2006:

I have finally added a link to my MIDI rendition of Remy Zero's "Save Me" to the SESPS homepage.  I had a lot of fun making it, entering each note and drumbeat by hand until it all came together into what I think is a pretty good cover.  Have a listen, and let me know what you think!  I've also posted more of my music at Shirkie's MIDI Music if you want to listen to other stuff I've made over the years.  Enjoy.

08/24/2006:

I have received word from higher-ups that the Ezra Small Prophecies will be back during Season 6!  I have been informed that there will be some awesome, awesome things for fans to decipher and analyze... Get ready, everyone!

I went to the annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois and met Michael Rosenbaum, "Lex Luthor" himself!  Details here.

05/24/2006:

Somehow, without me even noticing, SESPS hit the big 10,000 visitors milestone this month!  I thank everyone for their support.  It's been a fun ride, and I intend to continue this project as new information becomes available.  In the meantime, there are more puzzles to be cracked over at Rich's World, so stop by my Tribute to Rich's World page and help figure them out!

05/04/2006:

Project Mercury has been cracked.  Enjoy!

05/03/2006:

HAPPY TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, SESPS!  TWO more Prophecies have appeared courtesy of Project Mercury.  See the Chinese tablet and the Kawatche tablet for details.  Another new addition to the Hidden Prophecy has appeared, so take a look at Part XII.

04/26/2006:

Another Prophecy has appeared courtesy of Project Mercury.  Take a look at the Cambodian tablet.  Also, another new addition to the Hidden Prophecy has appeared.  See Part XI.  I have also updated the to reflect these (and other) new additions to this site.

04/18/2006:

A new official Smallville site called Project Mercury is now directly connected to the Ezra Small Prophecies.  The ESPs are mentioned in the second entry's accompanying video, and the fourth entry is an all-new Prophecy.  Take a look at the Mayan tablet at the SESPS Project Mercury page.  KEEP IT COMING, TPTB!  :)

More Ezra has been published at the Ezra Small House!  See Part VIII and Part IX of the Hidden Prophecy.  Also, lots of more stuff has appeared at Rich's World, and I've been archiving all of the new material at my Tribute to Rich's World.

02/27/2006:

The amazing Mr. Beppo has returned and has posted all new Ezra Small stuff at the Ezra Small House!  I've already managed to crack the code and have posted my thoughts, so take a look at what I've discovered at Part VII of the Hidden Prophecy.

02/25/2006:

I've made more additions to the page about Rich's World because more new material has appeared on that site!  Keep working away, everyone-- there are way more mysteries to be solved.  Get to work at A Tribute to Rich's World!

02/11/2006:

I found some very fun stuff over at Rich's World and thought I'd add an entire page to this site dedicated to the fun puzzles 'Ritch' has cooked up for us.  Enjoy A Tribute to Rich's World!

01/28/2006:

After much speculation, it appears we have not heard the last of Christopher James Beppo!  Check out the Snowflakes page for his latest appearance.

12/17/2005:

I am in the process of revamping the Snowflakes section.  I have also published an open letter of sorts to the WB inquiring as to the whereabouts of Christopher James Beppo.

The end of a LOT of work has come.  Take a look at the finished Symbols and Glyphs page.  That section is split into two galleries of Kryptonian and Kawatche symbols and glyphs.  Each gallery contains oodles of pages of good stuff for your viewing pleasure.  I've also put together a handy guide to all of the Elements plotline at the new Season 4 Guide, including the page on Countess Isobel.  At this time, I ask that you PLEASE send me emails regarding broken links, pictures that won't load, and anything else wrong with the new sections (or any of the old sections, for that matter).  Enjoy all the new stuff, and feel free to email me and tell me what you think!

Not much to update other than to say that the Symbols and Glyphs pages are coming along quite well.  The galleries slowly taking form as is another new page I'm creating on Countess Isobel.  Again, the pages are still under construction and definitely in rough form, so please don't send emails yet about broken links or other errors (yet!).

11/03/2005:

Take a peek at what will be one of SESPS' major features-- a gallery of all symbols and glyphs shown onscreen in "Smallville."  It's currently a work in progress, so please don't send any emails about errors or missing pages yet.  Emails alerting me to mistakes will be much appreciated later when the gallery is in its final form.  Until now, preview the gallery of Symbols and Glyphs.

09/29/2005:

I have finally posted more material on Prophecy 22, although it is far from finished.  I have also added much to Part VI and a little to Part V of the Hidden Prophecy.  Hooray for an excellent Season 5 premiere as well!

09/16/2005:

There is a new addition to the Hidden Prophecy.  Take a look at Part VI.  I have also redesigned the and am at work on Prophecy 22.

09/10/2005:

CJB has released another comment on one of his Snowflakes. See The Snowflakes: Responses.

09/06/2005:

I intended to create a page on the Prophecy in Issue #10 of Smallville: The Official Magazine, but instead, I found myself vastly updating the page now known as The Elements.  It took a lot of work, but I think it's worth it.

Purity Destroyed: An essay on sex and "Smallville."

08/14/2005:

I've created a Second Puzzle. Who will be the first to figure it out? Get cracking! Still haven't solved the First Puzzle? What are you waiting for? It's not too late!

07/31/2005:

As previously noted, I received a tip that Smallville: The Official Magazine was making its transition from once-a-month to once-every-six-weeks to once-every-two-months. Well, official confirmation of this sad change in issue quantities has been given. See ExpressMag, an online magazine seller (offers subscriptions too); I found the link to this vendor on the Titan Magazines site. They're selling "6 issues yearly for $37.75." So... I'll be hitting the comic book store in August......... Sigh. L

07/18/2005:

A trustworthy anonymous source has informed me that Smallville: The Official Magazine, a great source of Ezra Small Prophecies, is no longer a monthly publication. It will now bi-monthly, out every other month.  As of right now, publisher Titan Magazines hasn't confirmed this rumor, but it seems to say new issues come out "every six weeks," which is quite a departure from "new issues monthly."

07/10/2005:

I've revealed the location of the first piece of the Puzzle since so many of you have mentioned that you can't find it.  NO MORE HINTS!  Happy decoding!

06/01/2005:

The Contact Me page is now called Connect.  Visit this page to see the new SESPS Message Forum and join the SESPS Mailing List.

05/22/2005:

I've added a Links page containing outside links for those who want more Ezra Small and Smallville information.

05/15/2005:

I went to the Lifehouse concert in Chicago on May 14th.  I met the band, got stuff signed, said "Hi" to Kiefer Sutherland...  Read more about it and take a peek at all the fun pictures I took at my Lifehouse pages!

05/03/2005:

There's another new Ezra Small article and Prophecy in Issue #9 of Smallville: The Official Magazine.  Take a look at Prophecy 21.

04/29/2005:

04/27/2005:

The Ledger posted an ESP snippet in its latest edition.  Take a peek at Prophecy 19.

04/05/2005:

After reviewing transcripts of each and every episode of Smallville (which took more time than I care to admit!), I've added references and quotes to just about every Prophecy on this site.  Happy viewing!

04/02/2005:

More snowflakes have been found!  Check out The Snowflakes: Hidden.

03/27/2005:

The mystery of the Snowflakes found in the Hidden Prophecy has been solved.

Finally added Ezra's First Vision to the Prophecies page.  I have no clue how I overlooked this when I made this site.

03/17/2005:

SESPS gets a direct mention in the April 2005 issue (Issue #7) of Smallville: The Official Magazine!  Be sure to take a look!  Also, a new Prophecy snippet appears, and readers learn that brand-new, exclusive Prophecies will be appearing in the Magazine starting with next month's issue.

03/15/2005:

I've added a Survey!  Please fill it out so I can get some information about which pages are being visited, how often people visit, what people want to see on SESPS, etc.  Thanks!

03/03/2005:

A fourth part of the Hidden Prophecy appeared after "Lucy," 2 March 2005's episode, so I created a new page for it.  Take a look!  And yes, I had to update the to reflect the new addition.  J

02/27/2005:

I've updated the to better reflect the content available at SESPS.  It's also prettier, in my humble opinion!

02/24/2005:

A new part of the Hidden Prophecy appeared after "Sacred," 23 February 2005's episode.  I've decided to split the Prophecy into three parts-- the three parts in which the entire Prophecy was given.  Check out the translations and possible interpretations of Part I, Part II, and the new Part III!  I've also had to revise The Crystals and the Map as "Sacred" revealed a bunch of information that changes the way everything's been interpreted so far...

02/13/2005:

A new Ezra Small snippet appears in the March 2005 issue (Issue #6) of Smallville: The Official Magazine.  Inside it, there's another hidden shout-out to me!  Take a look!

01/23/2005:  

I have added a Puzzle to this site.  It has has six Pieces that must be unlocked consecutively, and information from all of these Pieces is necessary to take your place in the final reward for those willing to work for it.  Happy hunting!
