Mission: Impossible III

Posted on by Eric Brooks

wow.

It appears I’ve succeeded where the Adorable Brookskidz have failed for almost two years:

WRECK A NO-SPILL KEYBOARD!!!!

Amaze your friends by following these easy, step-by-step instructions:

  • Have a pile of junk on your desk (meticulously balanced) topple off a shelf, and knock your full glass of iced tea all over your (so-called) “No-Spill-Guaranteed®” keyboard.
  • Scream “OH SHIT! OH SHIT!!! OH SHIT!!!!” and lift the keyboard up in the air and shake all of the liquid out (so it can spread all over the circuitry reeeeal good!).
  • (This is VERY important!) Do NOT turn off your computer!!!! Continue working until you hear a sound like “PFFT!!!” come out (while smoke is unlikely, that’s an added bonus.)… THEN decide something needs to be done….

My next “Morons Anonymous” meeting is Wednesday at 7:30 PM… they’re gonna be SOOOOOOO PROUD OF ME!!!!

 

Weekend Surf Picks

Posted on by Eric Brooks
  • Personality Creations – Jackie Capps is another phenomenally talented lady. Packed with clip art, craft tips, games… if you somehow manage to get through everything that site has to offer, you can send personalized letters for all occasions at her other site, All Letters.Com… a definite site worth bookmarking to return around the Holidays for the kids (Don’t worry, I’ll remind you… Actually, I’m reminding you NOW!!!).
  • DaVinci Graphics Gallery – It’s been said that DaVinci knows more about Adobe Photoshop than the folks who’ve designed it. Best known for designing the logo for The Phrozen Crew site, I’ve gotta say, DaVinci is my design idol!!!! Packed with high-resolution graphics in this portfolio, may take a while to load… but definitely worth it!!!! Tons of great tutorials to make you a PhotoShop Master in no time!
  • Stephanie Schaff’s Kick-Ass Website – Another sweet soul who has signed my guestbook. Features her family, an ode to a really lucky guy, and great photos from her trip to Rome for World Youth Day 2000. Check ’em out!
  • AleciaLand– A great personal page packed with pearls of wisdom like : “If your mother hates your small dog, keep her away from the vacuum.”, “Reading what big kids scratch on desks can teach you a lot.”, and “The name Eric is forever reserved for those with off-the-charts hottness aptitude .”Yeah… I like this site. A lot! :0)

Some WHUZZUP Linky Love to…

Posted on by Eric Brooks
  • Amber, who redesigned her site, and it’s faster loading and better-looking than ever…
    Not no mention the resemblance to your Holli, and my Christina is uncanny (and the story about their biological fathers almost identical).
  • Just as I vowed that you would never know who the President was, until I returned from my latest crisishiatus… you’ll never see WHUZZUP! in English again, until Patti tells me what the heck “i miei amici favoriti del blog ” means, and in what language.

MiScHiEf of the week: You know where it says ” – Microsoft Internet Explorer” waaaay up top in your toolbar? Well, I altered my Windows registry and changed it to

“Eric Brooks is SO DAMN CUTE!!!”…

Well, to make a long story sorta unbearable, I was visiting one of my favorite redhead’s sites, and uh… well, Carole walked in to see this, and uh… she kinda got the wrong idea:

Carole REEEEEEALLY wants to have a talk with this young lady…. (oopsie!)

Will resume next weekend with a load of cool stuff… just too busy!

Quote of the week:
“I am turning into one of those jerks who is “too busy” to answer his email. The tragic truth is that I am too busy. ”
– Jeffrey Zeldman –

Moi? I’ve always been a jerk, so that was never a problem. But the fact is, *I* have spent very little time online since the end of October (The full story coming to a SoApBoX near you real soon).

Lately I have been very involved in Do It Right Construction: Writing proposals, going on sales, making TurboCad drawings for permits, watching the Britney Spears nipple video, and playing Carole’s attorney and business partner (since obviously neither of them were worth a shit). See you all real soon & if you wrote me recently, expect a reply in the next few months & know I still love you, ok?

Your CyberPal,
-e-

P.S.: You crack me up! :0)
