Holiday Surfing Picks

  • NORAD tracks Santa Claus – For those of you fools who stopped believing…. Live on December 24th, NORAD follows Santa Claus all over the world via Sattelite. The kids are gonna have a blast (available in several languages.)
  • Theoadore Muddfoot – A kick ass rock band with a real Ozzy Osborne/Randy Rhodes feel to them. They even got an excellent review by Slash, from Guns-n-Roses. My favorite track: No More (MP3)
  • The Grinch – The official movie site of the Jim Carrey/Ron Howard movie. Lots of fun games & downloads. And don’t forget to get your very own “WHO NAME”
  • EG1 Christmas/Chanukkah Cards – Yeah, I’m plugging my own damn site…got a problem??!!?? Lots of great contributors made it possible…& they’re all free.

As Deb has recently pointed out… yes, I do have a heart of gold (assuming I actually let you get to know me). Those who don’t believe me, can go fuck themselves!!!! :0)

HAVE A GOOD ONE, EVERYBODY!!!!!

Weekend Surf Picks

  • Red & Proud.Com – A vast library of all things redhead; Male, female, famous & fictional. Created by redhead Simon Cheetham.
  • -=ChelleCam=- – When you’re as photogenic as this young lady, you can have a site dedicated to her cam pics. She even has her own Yahoo Fan Club. Oh yeah, she blogs too. (And I really like the “Coke” statement she’s making on the screen tonight!).
  • Tacky Christmas Lights Page – HEE HEE!!!!! Someone has to journal all the people who overdo it for Christmas… Dean Clean does it, and does it well! The highlight of the site is his “Hate Mail” section. Hell he gets more than I do!!! :0)
  • Trudy’s Bitchin’ Hats – Brand spankin’ new blog by Rune…check it out!

Some WHUZZUP Linky Love to…

  • 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!)

Weekend Surf Picks

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)

Weekend Surf Picks

  • PizzaDude – This site is just too cute! I love it. Download free fonts, clip art and more. Designed by Jakob Fischer, not only a kindergarten teacher in Denmark, but obviously a very talented designer & artist as well.(See what happens when you say nice things in my guestbook?)
  • Goodbye Mommy – Jeffrey Zeldman heartbreakingly struggles and seeks closure with his mom’s condition. She’s had Alzheimers for a number of years now. I can tell you from lots of good folks I’ve had to watch endure this… You don’t know what pain is, until the woman who has brought you into the world looks at you like you’re a total stranger. And you can’t do a damn thing about it. It’s like a part of you has been erased, in the cruelest practical joke nature has yet to fling at us.

    “My Mom loved me when I was a baby. She loved me when my brother came along. She loved me when I was a teenaged drug addict. A promising college student. A hopeful young writer. An ad man. A drunk. She loved me, she loved me, she loved me. That’s what Moms do.”

    As always, I wish the very best to you and your Dad, my friend.

Weekend Surf Picks

  • The current pic on my desktop.  If she gives me the ok, I'll make a full desktop theme available on both sites....Bobbi Billard – The Official Website of Bikini, Lingerie, professional wrestler and Fitness Model Bobbi Billard. Like, WHOAH, okay? She has her own cam, chatroom , tons of pics & lots of stuff to keep us guys happy campers. I made a desktop theme for my own personal use (shot on the left is what’s on my desktop), once I get permission from her, it may be available for download there and at Free Stuff.Did I forget to mention she’s drop-dead gorgeous?
  • IMSI Free Downloads– Via a promotion form Art Today… I have no idea how long this promotion will run, but they’re giving away FREE software: Turbocad 2D, Floorplan LT, FormTool Free, and a whole lot more. Fully functional, no expiration dates. Given the line of work I’m in now, I’m saving the biz a fortune. I don’t know what the catch is yet, but I’m not asking questions…
  • Binary Bliss – Even more free toys for your computer, Desktop Utilities, MP3 tools, HTML and document Publishing tools… all free.

Weekend Surf Picks

  • Mystic Ferret– Not since my Magic 8 Ball™, has a website offered answers with such accuracy! Amaze your friends! (Via Ken Price)
  • Nancy Healy – A really great homepage (with a cool Java trick enabling two frames to change with one link). Her "Just For Fun" page has a load of great links to keep you amused. (*cough* like my Magic 8 Ball™*cough*) Thanks, Nancy!
  • Poconos Celestial Place – A nice site with a lot of great pictures… thus blowing my stereotype of the "fat, toothless" women of the Poconos. :0) It’s the personal page of PoconoGrl aka Lissa Lee aka owner and proprietor of BODY Kneadz® Massage, right here in the Poconos… she hangs out with us at our Pocono Internet Professionals Yahoo Club

    Wow… a pretty girl in the Poconos. Imagine that.

  • Blog Party – I don’t know when Wendell did it (I’ve been away for a while)… but the new redesign TOTALLY ROCKS! Just so ya know dude, everytime I saw that ripoff Nick-At-Nite did of your site all summer long… I thought of ya! ;0)

    Speaking of "Linky Love"… a belated Thanx to Faith, Jeff, Matt, Suzie, The Webmistress, & Kare_D for the birthday wishes two weeks ago… what can I say, I suck! I’m so far behind in email too, it ain’t funny!. And if I left anyone out… I really, REALLY SUCK!!!! (These folks could’ve wished Blogger, Barbara Eden, Gene Kelly or Rick Springfield a happy birthday on that day… but instead, they chose me!!! Thanx!!! ::SNIFF::)

Weekend Surf Picks

 

  • Designer Minds – If someone had told me, two years ago, an upcoming talented designer was going to interview me along with several of my design heroes (Jeffrey Zeldman, Halcyon, Lance Arthur), I would have said: “What the hell are you on?” and “Do you have any left????”…. well guess what? Jeffrey “Skizz” Musante made it happen. I love this guy! (I thought his sister’s was the best interview though.) What really stuck me most of all in this piece, was the different perceptions we all have of “God”…….speaking of The Almighty….
  • Bird Manna – “This is the amazing autobiography of a young man who believes he is in contact with space aliens, that he was abducted and taken to another planet for therapy, that the aliens are God’s emissaries, and that God has charged him with telling the world…” (quoted from the site). It’s a very interesting site. And I got the impression from CyberPal, Mark Frey, that he really, really, really wanted his site plugged here. You got it, buddy! Keep in mind folks (especially you close-minded religious types), we don’t have all the answers, now do we?
  • Byun-O-Matic – OMG!!!! I was laughing hysterically with every page… especially Bryan’s mock-up corporate section…. it will brighten your day (and I *SO* needed it this evening).

Weekend Surf Picks

  • Astounding Websites – Plenty of great sites to check out. My fave: Little Lea. her portfolio and presentation are awesome!!!
  • Voices of Unreason will be redesigned on the fly… live on the internet Saturday. July 15th starting at 12PM (Pacific Standard Time/3PM Eastern….the rest of you FIGURE OUT YOUR OWN TIME ZONE!!!!).

Help Malki get laid!
Visit his website… with a certain amount of hits from his site to CrapTV, they’ll sponsor him to get laid. And if he hits a certain amount of hits, his classmates will sleep with him. Help the kid out willya???? I’m sure he’d do it for you!

  • Richerson Interiors – Really nicely-designed online store by designer Aaron Cohen. Aaron has an amazing tale of how he survived a fatal (he was pronounced dead) car accident, and has overcome his handicaps and even learned to walk again… I hope one day he shares the entire story with the web… It was pretty damn inspiring.
