Our Pocono Community

Our Pocono Community websiteDo you live in the Poconos and looking for a great online community to mingle with? Check out Our Pocono Community. It has news, resources, a hi-tech chatroom, an arcade and a group of vibrant personalities on their message board, The Pocono Speakeasy.

I’ll be adding this to my Pocono web design section today. Truth be told, I’m kinda proud of my contributions to it. There’s still more tweaks to do and 70 more arcade games to add… but it’s got the EricBrooks.Com Seal of Approval. πŸ˜€

AIDS Ride

Mikki - AIDS/Lifecycle RideMy good friend Mikki is taking place in an event in June: AIDS/Lifecycle

From June 3-9, 2007, I’m bicycling in AIDS/LifeCycle. It’s a 6-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.

Help me support the HIV/AIDS services of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center by giving what you can. We’ll keep riding until AIDS and HIV are a thing of the past. πŸ™‚

I want to thank everyone for stopping by!

All The Best!!!! Mikki

For more information on how you can help, you can visit Mikki’s Lifecycle page here.

There’s a party, and you’re probably not invited

W00t! πŸ˜€
Problem Adults - Party PlanetWe’re still closed to the public, but Problem Adults 3.0 is still under renovation and getting better and better….

I just unveiled the new design for our latest incarnation “Party Planet” – It’s kind of our hope to attract more “hi-tech” and “creative” types to the joint. We’ve got some great people there… a few are making more layouts, and they truly “get it” with what we’re trying to do there. We were just chosen to be beta testers for new software and we are gonna blow people AWAY!!!!

I just feel like bragging here…

Who ROCKS? WE ROCK! πŸ˜€

Is our children learning?

U.S. scores low on child welfare

Quote:
The United States and Britain ranked at the bottom of a United Nations survey of child welfare in 21 wealthy countries that assessed everything from infant mortality to whether children ate dinner with their parents or were bullied at school.

From what I’m reading in this, there seems to be a total breakdown of support for families. Particularly for single parent households.

You have religious wack jobs who will tout the “Nuclear family” and nothing else. You have zealots on the right who scream against Hillary’s plan to bring a “Universalized Health Care” system to the U.S. Fact is, kids get sick, and parents can’t afford to take them to the doctors with no insurance.

That’s not to let the Left off the hook. Children being bullied with the lame-ass cliche of “fighting is not the answer” and nothing else doesn’t help. There’s a great program in our district that teaches kids to negotiate and reason with their enemies… but in the real world we know that doesn’t always work.

And Child Protective Services? Don’t even get me started on how many things are wrong with that bureaucracy…

Why I’ll probably never work for another candidate or take advertisers.

Simply put, I’m a snarky, sarcastic, jaded bastard.

I value my All-American rights to free speech and voicing my opinions… regardless of who I piss off. (Don’t get me wrong, I realize I am a reflection of my employers to a certain degree, so I *DO* exercise a certain level of responsibility and accountability in all I do and say). But I despise having to self-censor myself.

Oh and did I forget to mention that I helped make websites and strategies for two campaigns? One Republican and one Democrat. Both were facing major hurdles as underdogs but in the end, they won in landslides.

Yes, this is why some of us colorful web personalities are hired by candidates. Though we have a ton of skeletons in our archives, we’re incindiary, controversial, riveting and damned good at what we do in commanding attention.

Which brings us to the “Brawl of the Week” (hat tip to Wulfgar).

John Edwards, Amanda Marcotte & Melissa McEwan -vs- Michelle Malkin, William Donohue & The Fighting 101st Keyboarders

The Plot: Right Wingers dig up dirt from the archives of Pandagon and Shakespeare’s Sister and demand Edwards fire his bloggers for their content.

The Review: Manufactured outrage by people with skeletons in their own closets who would never vote for Edwards anyway… so why even listen to them? Continue reading “Why I’ll probably never work for another candidate or take advertisers.”

Snobbier and better than ever…

Problem Adults: Members OnlyWe’ve decided to close our doors to the public at Problem Adults for a while. We’re regrouping and going back to the original vision of making it a virtual playground for the Web Elite…

Besides a chat room with Artificially Intelligent chat hostesses, a gallery, an arcade with 300 games and our own Cafepress store…

…now we’re offering tutorials, and have our own internal social networking system. It’s like MySpace, only without the creeps. πŸ˜€

Coming soon will be articles and columns by our members, and a new section called “After Hours”, where… you know. Grownups talk about the stuff they do after the kids have gone to bed.

Exciting times indeed.
