Dial "D" for "Durst"

He kinda looks like "Mr. Roper" in this pic, doesn't he?
Murder defendant Robert Durst has a light moment during a break in his trial in Galveston, Texas, Monday, Sept. 22, 2003. Durst is accused of killing his neighbor Morris Black, then dismembering the body and throwing body pieces INTO Galveston Bay in September 2001. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

I’ve been getting a lot of search engine activity on “ROBERT DURST” lately. Of course it’s no small wonder as it’s front page news in NYC, PA and Texas. For the loose stragglers on the web, let me get you up to speed:

  • The Case of Robert Durst – Galveston Daily News
  • Attorneys: Durst Killed Out of Fear – Associated Press
  • All about millionaire murderer Robert Durst – Crime Library

Readers Digest version: After his wife’s disappearance, Millionaire New York Real Estate heir Robert Durst flees the unwanted media attention, posing himself as a mute elderly woman. Becomes a suspect as neighbor Morris Black’s body parts are found floating in Galveston Bay. After jumping bail, Durst is arrested for shoplifting in Pennsylvania six weeks later.

Matt Birkbeck: A deadly ecret A Deadly Secret: The strange disappearance of Kathie Durst – By Matt Birkbeck – Former Pocono Record Columnist untangles this intriguing tale for People Magazine. It takes place 20 years before Black’s murder, and I recommend the book highly for some insight to Robert Durst and what started it all… It’s also been uncovered on the site that more murders in Northern California is being investigated with ties to Durst. The plot sickens.

… and I’m not saying all this and plugging the book just because I was part of the design team who put the site together for Matt.

I’m proud to be a part of it all.

Uhm, I meant the web project, not the murders… you knew that’s what I meant, right?

Re-Format

Posted on by Eric Brooks

The web is off-kilter.
And like everything bad in this world, I accept full responsibility for it.

One of these days… possibly in the next few months, I am reformatting this page. I want to go for a more “newsier” type format. A “Top Story” and then excerpts to whatever else I put down. You’ll notice I don’t UPDATE much, because most people rarely read past the first post, so I want to make it so they can catch *everything* with a mere glance, and save themselves hours of surfing through crap on the web.

Thank you cards….

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I try not to bear my soul online much anymore. It just seems when I’m revealing a little bit of humanity, it serves no other purpose but to hand ammunition to my enemies. But I really gotta share this one:

Yesterday I took on the horrific task of cleaning out this desk.

Lotsa Fonts! CD

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Lotsa Fonts!

You know you want one.

While I’m sure Ren and Alwin would have just been happy with me burning a plain disk and mailing it out… but you know me. I have to make a big production out of everything. (It’s going out today, guys. I swear!) :0)

Lotsa Fonts! will be available toward the end of this month to commemorate this site’s 5th anniversary on August 23rd. It will be a members-only deal, and it’ll only cost as much as shipping & materials (I have no intention of making money off of someone else’s hard work).

Over 2,000 free and shareware true type fonts for just a couple of bucks, right there on your desk.

Think about it.
More details in our next newsletter in about a week.

Still working my widdle fingers to the bone on the Pennsylvania Music Awards site.

Johnny has a tentative date for the SHOW next year at the Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts.

… assuming we survive any potential terrorist attacks the grand opening next Saturday as Tom Ridge and Dick Cheney are expected in my neck of the woods (It *IS* named the “Tom Ridge Pavilion”, after all…silly.). Security measures have been… to say the least… scary.

It’s all fun and games here

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I made the decision to pull any stories of my families ordeals out of my SoApBoX Section.

The original purpose of it was to tell tales of hardship, endurance and ultimately victory. To give people who found themselves in a similar situation some hope, and possibly a solution…

… the only problem is most people on the web are vindictive idiots.
