Comic Books to Soldiers in Iraq – “We have a ton of overstock back issues that will never sell in our store. Our customers don’t generally buy back issues. They buy the trades.Regardless of your stance on the War or your politics in Washington, there are Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors stationed overseas that are just like you and me. They are our friends, brothers, sisters, moms and dads, and they should have comics.”

I couldn’t agree more. It’s little gestures like these that show the men and women in our military that we love ’em and appreciate all they do. The idea was cooked up by A Comic Shop’s owner Jason Blanchard who served our country honorably for 6 years. He hopes other comic shops will follow suit and we all spread the word. Way to go, Jason!

Why choose me to design your website?

Posted on Friday January 12, 2007Monday May 9, 2011 by Eric Brooks

I’m seeing a surge of visitors who are responding to my flyers posted in the area.

I would assume you’ve heard the tired sales pitches like “Would you let a friend build your house?” or “Would you hire your nephew to fix your electric wiring?”…

Pay now or pay later.
It’s common sense. You let someone who knows what they’re doing handle such important matters. Maybe your friend is a mechanic. Maybe your nephew is a professional technician. I’ll wager 99% of the time they’re not, are they? 😀
Yet, many businesses still take a “Do-it-yourself” approach with websites; taking the most cost-effective route with their “first impression” to the public. If a person walked into their office looking disheveled and seeking a job, they would not hire them… IRONICALLY they fail to realize that their website has the same “turn-off” effect as that.

Bill Watson’s the man!

Posted on Friday December 29, 2006Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

It’s not on the online version of the Pocono Record, but today’s paper reveals Kim DeBourbon is resigning as editor.

I wish her well. She was a wonderful person and we saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things that I felt the online version of the paper should have been doing. It was a pleasure to work with her. What confuses me is the article mentioning “Bill Watson and others will be covering until there’s a replacement”.

Are you kidding me? BILL WATSON’S THE MAN! He should be the new editor. He’s sharp. He’s witty. If something was going down in the Poconos, you can bet Bill Watson knew about it. He also has his finger on the pulse of what the people want to read about. Continue reading “Bill Watson’s the man!”

Evel Knievel Lives???

Evel Knievel: King of the stuntmen Evel Knievel sues Kanye West over video

TAMPA, Fla. – Evel Knievel has sued Kanye West, taking issue with a music video in which the rapper takes on the persona of “Evel Kanyevel” and tries to jump a rocket-powered motorcycle over a canyon. Knievel, whose real name is Robert Craig Knievel, filed a lawsuit in federal court in Tampa on Monday claiming …. blah blah blah blah….

That’s not even the real story here.

The real story is Evel Knievel is still alive? F**KIN’ COOL!!!!!

If you were too young to remember Evel Knievel (thank God you missed the ’70’s), think Johnny Knoxville and “Jackass”. Us kids found ourselves riveted to tv when he was on “Wide World of Sports”.

The thing is, we KNEW he was going to bust his ass and break every bone in his body with every jump (I mean really, dude, shouldn’t you have fired your stunt coordinators? Maybe taken some classes in “Physics” or something?). It was a question of “how bad will he get fucked up THIS time”. It was like a car wreck you couldn’t turn away from!!!!

And what did us little jackasses do on the streets of Brooklyn after watching our hero get pulverized? That’s right, set up ramps in the streets, pull whatever the hell we can find from vacant lots and try to jump over them with our no-speed bikes!!!! 😀

See, there were no “Parent Safety Groups” or Televangelists calling on boycotts back then. No one claiming imitating him was a hazard and a “danger to our youth”.

Hell no. Drugs and gang violence killed much of my childhood friends years later. 😀

68 years old, huh? I wonder if he sits there and sees all the people lined up in their wheelchairs at the nursing home and wonders if he can jump over all of them with his All-Mobility Scooter? 😀

Dumb Stories this Week

Posted on Friday December 8, 2006Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

Owner: Man tried to hide guitar in pants (AP)
AP – The guitar-shaped bulge in Morgan Conatser’s clothing tipped off a music store owner that there might be a crime in progress. Clifton Lovell, owner of Guitars and Cadillacs on U.S. Highway 71 in De Queen, was talking with a customer last week when he saw Conatser, 29, walking out of the store.

Holiday shoppers keep buying during fire (AP)
AP – An electrical fire that filled a department store with thick smoke didn’t deter holiday shoppers, and firefighters had to block the doors to keep customers from coming in, authorities said.

Court: OK to gossip behind boss’ back (AP)
AP – It’s OK to use derogatory and vulgar language about your superiors in the office as long as it is done behind their backs, a Malaysian court has ruled.

Officers keep record of beautiful women (AP)
AP – Two Swedish border control officers risk disciplinary action for keeping a photo collection of “exceptionally beautiful” women that passed through their checkpoint, police officials said Tuesday.

And probably the dumbest story of all….

MySpace to Purge Sex Offenders
MySpace announced today it will begin searching its 100 million-plus user list for people listed in a national database of sex offenders.

Now you may ask, why do I think that’s dumb? Sure it sounds good at face value, but as it was discussed elsewhere, I have to agree with the Wired article that MySpace is taking the easy way out and giving everyone a false sense of security. Law enforcement could have watched their every move with this new sophisticated technology, but now they’re just kicked out into the darkness to prey elsewhere.

And what’s stopping the predators from coming back under fake names and addresses? Not MySpace’s problem. MySpace “at least did something about the problem”, remember?
Out of sight, out of mind.

And of COURSE sickos will respect their Terms of Service and not come back. Surely they’ll follow the rules… right?
Way to go, MySpace!

UH OH!

The all-new cast

Posted on Tuesday December 5, 2006Sunday June 5, 2011 by Eric Brooks

As you can see, I’ve been spending a lot of time upgrading/repairing the place. Trying to optimize the site for better search engine placement for Web Designers in the Poconos.

The all-new CyberPal Plans are in the works to bring back the “Free Stuff” section. That was always popular, and as you recall I had to shut it down for a while. I also want to highlight my 3D work and what better way to do that than to make a “Meet The Cast” section on the site:

Of course there’s CyberPal… I’ve recently redone him and remapped his head for better rendering.

There’s also a new Bozilla the Clown, done up in Michael 3, but making his clothes fit his fat ass is a pain (then again, the P4 version was a hassle too. Definite discrimination against the “calorically-challenged” in the 3D world!)

But the piece de resistance is our lovely SpokesModel and my cyber-sidekick, Randi… who translated to Victoria 3 almost flawlessly… is she still a hottie, or what?

Our site's Spokesmodel, Randi

Also scheduled to be featured will be Stress-Man, as well as the Vixens from ClubX (Jeanna, Miss Demeanor and Dixie). And all of the textures, morphs, props and playsets will be available in the new Free Stuff section.

WHUZZUP!
