Tiffany Mulroy, aka “The Birthday Girl”, today.
Also sharing this day is Tony Negron, from the old gang in Bushwick.
Best wishes, guys!
Whuzzup®! to….

What the hell… make me number one for next week… It’s good to be the king. :0)
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)
Y-Rent…
Hey New Yorkers! Before you jump for the bait at the too-good-to-be-true “Why-Rent” commercials you see on TV… you know, the one where Raintree Homes pays your rent until you’re ready to move to the Poconos???
Check out part two of Matt Birkbeck’s series “A Price TOO HIGH“… here and here…
Part three goes up today at www.poconorecord.com and then into a special section called “Special Reports” sometime today (details to follow).
It’s about time!!!!
Today was a very good day to come to work….
I have the pleasure of making sure Matt Birkbeck’s Sunday expose went up, in it’s entirety, without a hitch. It’s the story of a man named Hugh Robinson , who is on the verge of losing his home to forclosure as a victim of “predatory lending” and bloated appraisals. An all-too-common practice with the home builders in the Monroe County….
Sounds like anyone you know?
This story is aready blowing the lid off the Poconos… by Monday the D.A.’s office will be pandemonium!
New Look… new attitude
I’m busy redesigning this site… go away. While I’m toiling away for the next week or so, (plans include rotating banners of friend’s sites, email lists of the updates here, database-driven download sections, the death of a weblog…blah blah blah) here’s what YOU can be doing:
- Creating a 274 x 60 banner of your site for rotation throughout the site for added exposure and hits…. (don’t kid yourself, some parts of my site are clocking almost 3,000 hits per day)
- Sending an E-Card to a buddy from the Easter Bunny/Passover Rabbit…
- NOT sending me E-mails telling me I suck, and then write back with your URL asking me what I think of it… I mean, come on… what do you *THINK* I’m gonna fire back with…??!!?? SHEESH! (Where do these morons find me??? Is my “nut-magnet” back on???)
While continuing the meme of nostalgia and blogiversaries… Archaeologists have uncovered the earliest version of WHUZZUP! on the web, and it turns out that WHUZZUP! is three years old this month….. really.
PS: I should warn you ahead of time, my old domain www.eroxgraphix.com was recently taken over by CyberPorn.Org… :0)
Newz & Gossip
- Well, 123 Cheaphosting.Com redid their site (lest ye forget)… of course Pith & Vinegar wasn’t gonna let it go for April Fools day….LMAO!!!! (via Metafilter)
- Matt Damon reprises his role as Loki…. actually a designer/hacker/pest named gOdOfMiScHiEf in the new movie Pardon My Zinger. A small but pivotal role, and I have no idea who it’s patterned after…. do you?It pays to have connected friends you can harass by phone and emails until they make a few calls…..
- Happy Reunions…. this week John met his best friend, Amber, face-to-face. I spoke on the phone with my old partner in MiScHiEf , Kare for the first time on Saturday. That’s the miracle of the Internet. People can touch your lives, that you wouldn’t normally meet in your lifetime….
- I’m currently uploading the new Golfing in the Poconos Section for the Pocono Record site… figured I’d drop you guys a quick note.
Weekend Surf Picks
- The official D O L L Y R O T S website! – Flash site by Shawn McBee. A few parts are still under construction, but you can get a sample of one of their songs in a pop up where Shawn uses Shockwave (not Flash, there’s a difference!) to stream an MP3. I also understand congratulations are in order, as two of the Dollyrots got married today.
Congratz guys! (I’m sure my wedding invitation was lost in the mail or something….) :0)
- Greg Back Illustrator And Graphic Artist – Greg is one of the graphic artists for the Pocono Record. A master of Photoshop, if you take a look at his illustrations section. The guy totally rocks… He’s currently producing a graphic novel with a partner.
