What's new at EricBrooks.Com plus news and gossip all over CyberTown
What’s coming up by your CyberPal and E-Visions Multimedia!
When you can be having a blast at my new haven for Problem Adults?
Not only is there a message board….
But chat rooms…
And NOW AN ARCADE!!!!!!
Featuring…..
Plus… if you’re good, a moderator may let you in to the Silver Club, featuring some really spicy discussions about, well… what do you think we talk about in hidden rooms? 😉
(18 or older …. what part of Problem Adults are you having a hard time understanding here?)
If you’re looking for me, you know where to find me.
Actually, I’m spending the weekend doing a layout for the site in photoshop… should have a nice uniform look by the end of the weekend.
Remember when I said I was bored last weekend and wanted to start a project? Well some people took me up on the offer to join in and have fun… like a big masquerade ball that will never end. With lots of steamy sex stories hidden for members only.

Mother’s Day is next Sunday and all I got in one lousy graphic in my Mother’s Day E-Cards section. That’s terrible.
If anyone can point me out (or better yet make) some nice 400 px wide graphics for Mother’s day e-Cards it would be most appreciated.
I’m short on cash this week, but I can put you in on that page in the acknowledgments sections.
Thanks, and may the Force be with you.
On the Pocono Forums, I introduced a new game called “Bowling for Karmaâ„¢“. On that board, people are awarded positive or negative “Karma Points” for their posts. People covet these points, and it also encourages them to keep the quality of discussion high.
I submitted three sites of local candidates running for judge positions in the Poconos. I designed one of them.
Whoever picks the site I designed is rewarded a Karma Point at the forum (also for giving my ego a boost). I really have nothing to offer on this site, but just for kicks & giggles, since you guys probably know my design style much better….
Which site do you think I designed?
The news of our organization is starting to spread like wildfire…. we’ve settled on a name, and it is:
Accept no imitations. We’re the ones with the political, legal and financial clout. And we’re non-profit and non-partisan too, so we’re not catering to anyone except the best interests of the Poconos and bringing jobs here.
We’re still plotting and planning in a back room at PoconoCommuter.Com, but if you’re in the Pocono Area and want to hang with me, or Stephen, or Wayne, or Frank or Jon (I hope. Probably after Tuesday’s elections.)…

As some of you know we tried last month to have a meeting but the weather
was bad. Each month we will have a meeting and focus on different topics for
discussion. At the meeting we all will pick a topic for the next meeting, so it will
give us all a chance to think about it and research it.
PLACE: BUDGET MOTEL JR’S GRILL

I had the honor of finally meeting the owner of the Budget (after years of patronage) at the Tech conference on Wednesday. Great guy.
If you wanna hang, you’ll find me there.
Some of the big news going on here during the Year of the Phoenix.
Just came back from a technology conference at Stroudsmoor. Bob Bennett, of Secure Managed Solutions is bringing a high speed data center and digital pipeline into the Poconos. One of the advantages we have is we are in between New York City and Philadelphia, and we can serve as a gateway. We’re also on a different power grid than New York, so it makes perfect sense to make our move here in post-9/11 America.
What will this possibly mean?
* Local businesses being on the ground floor of state-of-the-art technology and websites.
* Satellite offices set up here (Read: Jobs in our area instead of commuting)
* A “Vault” containing any relevant data. Imagine if you’re in Europe and you lose your wallet and passport? You can retrieve your info anywhere on the planet.
* Grants and tax incentives to set up businesses here (Read: Jobs in our area instead of commuting… uhm, again)
* WiFi, teleconferencing and all sorts of other gadgetry will play an integral part of how business will be done.
One of the things that have long-irked me is the low standards set here. The attitude of “Well, it’s the Poconos, what do you expect?” will no longer apply. There’s no reason why “New York Standards” shouldn’t be the standards of businesses everywhere.
ESPECIALLY in the Poconos.
State Rep. Mario Scavello was there, as was John Siptroth, candidate for Kelly Lewis’ old spot.
Winner of the “Most under-dressed jerk at a business seminar” award? ME!!!!!
All the movers and shakers out here in the fields of technology and advertising were here, including my good friend Jon Hom, who has turned Digital Zone into quite a formidable powerhouse since last we spoke five years ago. Also presenting was Creative Arts Recording Labs and Secure Managed Solutions.
I have allied myself with a few power brokers out here, and projects include forming a non-partisan, non-profit organization committed to bringing people together and establishing hi-tech jobs to the Poconos, and a ThinkTank connecting businesses into the new PowerLine.
I’ve seen the future, baby…. and it is now.

UPDATE 12/20/04: Photos for the Reasons for Christmas II concert are up (better late then never, right?)
I’m not sure how long this site will be up… I have comments off because I already backed up MySQL and anything posted after this point will not exist after I make my move.
Just want to wish all of my CyberPals out there a Very VERY Happy ChristmaChanuKwanzaakah!
I’m off to be with friends and family, you can probably find me in one of four places:
Lots of great new stuff in the works for 2005… and you will ALL be a part of it, as MY success is YOUR success.
Love you all & see you soon.

The Secret Society of Happy People – Now THERE’S a GROUP just asking for persecution, donchathink?
Nah. It’s all good (as sick and twisted as it seems to me). I say more power to ’em. Better than spending the holidays with a bunch of depressed shmucks spreading doom & gloom, that’s for sure.
Like Billy Joel sings: “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints”.
Tonight’s the Reasons for Christmas II concert at the Hillside Inn (You’re coming, right? You regetted missing all the fun last year).
As my first day as a freelance graphic artist, tonight’s ORDER of business is… well, business.
All the movers and shakers of the Poconos will be there, and I just whipped up a batch of business cards to pass out.
I just hope all the performers at the concert will have the decency to keep the music down while I and said movers & shakers talk bidness. 🙂
