History
of Earth Station 9 |
-
The beginnings of Earth Station 9 date back to
1997. It started with 400 links and a section called Stan's Bookmarks.
A page that contained links to strange, true, unusual and just plain
interesting items on the Web. That first month, I believe I had 30 visitors. Within a year the page grew to over 3000 links and two new sections emerged, an Auction Guide
and the The Worlds Fair and Exposition Information
and Reference Guide.
-
By 1999 more categories were added: Genealogy,
Health and Medicine, Religion and Belief's, Search
Engine Library, Collector Info Center, Computer Coliseum, Military
Resources, Reference Desk and New
Age.
-
In 2000 more categories appeared: Computers
and the Internet,
International Countries, Museums,
Political References, Newsfeeds,
Business and Money, Computer
Newsgroups, United States, Science and Technology and the US
Civil War.
-
In 2001 even more categories: Abuse
and Survival, Animals and Pets,
Dictionaries, Entertainment,
Food and Drink, Home and Garden,
Kid Stuff, Relationships, Sports
Palace, Travel Resources,
US Government, Weather Station
and Women's Resources.
- Approximately 1000 links are added and or
updated monthly.
- Maintenance and updates are performed daily by
one individual and one entertaining ferret.
- At present, 2 additional sections and a newsletter are being planned.
- The title Earth Station 9 was created to
signify the overall scope of this project. Earth Station meaning
'starting place' and 9 to signify the 9 major sections that were
initially created. Today Earth Station 9 is the largest
privately run resource on the Internet. You cannot find a
better overall unbiased resource online. I guarantee it.
- This website was created with one thing in
mind, information. The more informed a person is, the better the
chances of survival. And the less time you spend searching,
the faster you can get on with the important things in life.
- Today this website receives over 150,000 hits a
month and is visited by people from over 30 countries and 52 schools, colleges and universities worldwide.
- Thanks for making this site a part of your
daily Internet experience.

red is more than a color |
Earth Station 9
has a new banner and logo, thanks to "red". He
graciously offered his assistance in creating banners for this
website, and I sincerely appreciate his work. But to get a real
appreciation of his ability, please visit the two websites below
that
he's created and webmaster's.
1914 Schweizerische Landesausstellung
- 1914 Swiss National Exhibition - An historical collection of
advertisements, photographs, postcards, maps, posters, tickets
and film clips. With captions and descriptions in German, French
and English. Spend some time reliving a part of history. Website
navigation is through images, if you get lost just follow the
"black hands".
Yucca Tree Records
- "the
weird music label" and home of the Swiss folk combo "diledadafish",
who's music is described as "contemporary
Swiss folk with the sense of dadaistic humor and the feeling of
red garlic". Yucca
Tree is an independent label focusing on noncommercial music.
And exploring
the website is half the fun, "red" is constantly busy
working on new projects and the content is always changing.

the Mayor and webmaster |
My name is Stan Daniloski and I'm the
owner and Mayor of
Earth Station 9. I'm also the clerk, sheriff, webmaster, master electrician,
medical guinea pig,
computer repairman,
chief bottle washer, maintenance man and court jester.
After high school in 1978, I started a 6 year term in the US
Army. I was an aircraft and missile repair parts manager and
computer operator on the NCR-500. My tenure ended with a service connected injury.
After the Army, I went back to school for a year and earned
a certificate in computer programming and operations.
Then I worked in the Federal Government
for three years before heading off to become a photographer for a year.
At this time I became enchanted with Antiques and
Collectibles
and became self employed for 10 years. During which time I was also an Auction Consultant, shop keeper and
one of the first eBay sellers. Then a near fatal car accident put me in Shock Trauma for 2 weeks, left a few permanent
scars and put a full time career on permanent hiatus.
In early 1997, I received my disability
rating from the US
Government
for an injury sustained while in the Army (13 years prior). And
began a two year program in Electrical Engineering Technology. I passed the CET
exam and graduated as an EET with two awards.
Currently I'm employed in numerous endeavors
ranging from audio/video editing and computer technician to antiques
and collectibles (once again).
I build, maintain and repair personal computers in my
spare time. And having 6 years experience on the Internet and 21 years as a computer mutt, I also teach basic computer programming
and Internet usage to those that cannot afford it.
Well, that's probably more than you've ever
wanted to know about the "man behind the curtain"
I only put this here because a few people
wanted to know.
Enjoy your Stay - The Mayor
