Newz & Gossip

  • Some great scenes of the Spider-Man movie, shot in NYC on Thursday, over at Spider-Man Hype.Com
  • Via Webbieworld: Have you checked out Fonts-NOW! ??? Over 3,800 fonts… tons of links, articles & great resources for the budding young Fontographer. This site rocks.
  • Like Lucid Confusion, I refuse to give the Webbie Awards any acknowledgement, out of loyalty for Mark Connell… for those of you that don’t know, the idea of the Webbie Awards was taken from him..

… On your side.

Well, whaddya know….

A couple of CyberPals in New York City let me know that ABC’s Eyewitness News: 7 on your side, ran a story last night about the Poconos and the predatory lending practices going on, and driving people to foreclosure and bankruptcy.

And they even link to Matt Birkbeck’s series on their site.

For those not following the story…. it’s in the hands of the Feds now.

SCARED??? You should be. :0)

Whoah!!!!

Did any one else’s referrer logs go nuts as Zeldman declared “Happy Friday” on K10K.net, and wrote a list of sites he was grateful for????

Holy crap, and just how much traffic does k10k get anyway?!!???

A very pleasant surprise as I was one of the many sites plugged on Friday, and I wanted to thank The Great One sooner, but I have been so damn busy.

Launched a new site with the Pocono Record’s new webhosting service, The Bridal Guide went live to the public, and I had to tweak/rewrite a few CGI scripts for the database-driven Scholastic Sports, Eastern Poconos Community News and the Pocono Property Showcase that premiered this morning.

And that was just Friday.

Today, I was slaving away at redesigning a very talented actresses’ site (details to follow).

Thankz Z-Man!!!! Your plug was most appreciated and a great topper for an excellent week!

Dear “Big Dave” Bastian

Well… for what it’s worth, it seemed like you and the now, long-gone Webmistress Jo tried to keep Astounding Websites together for the longest time.

Not Davis…you guys.

Anybody that was there knows it.

Sometimes it seemed like you were commissioned to bail out the Titanic with the Styrofoam cups that the “Great Galactic Emperor” handed you.

In my humble opinion, Astounding Websites lost its novelty just a few weeks into it. Quite honestly, I checked in AW mainly for the discussion. The “NAG” section was the best… not that there was anything wrong with the reviews (except maybe an extreme bias against the “commercial”), It’s just that most of them really didn’t float my boat, and I didn’t even bother to even check the reviews after a while.

Don’t him get you down, big guy. And when you get your new project rolling, you can count on the gOdOfMiScHiEf for full support.

– Don’t be a stranger

Y’know… back in prehistoric times (circa 1998) Glen Davis *was* somebody…. almost a force to be reckoned with. These days, he comes off like a has-been, aging child star whose 15 minutes are up. Why can’t I be as eloquent as Jon??? He put it best here, almost a year ago….

Special Report….

Three days in a row… The Pocono Record has been sold out at newsstands. My phone has been ringing off the hook from homeowners looking for this article, and that article online….

Yesterday, managing editor Bill Watson came to me: “Eric, do you think we can make a ‘Special Report’ section for Matt’s exposes?
Matt Birkbeck’s 8-page series A price TOO HIGH…. goes live to the public at 3AM today.

I love my job!. :0)

Sorry Tam….

Couldn’t wait any longer for your heavy metal albums….
Wow… Slave To The Grind on CD. Metal kinda loses something without the tape hiss. That’s why I always took off the Dolby or DBX off my walkman.

(There ain’t a person under 25 that has a clue what I was just talking about… heh heh)
