WHUZZUP!

Carole has put Do It Right Construction as one of the proud sponsors of WKRZ’s

“Bye-Bye-Bye to Diabetes” marathon. Local DJ, Rocky is in their “Skybox” (See pics on the site) with 13 year old Lisa Marie O’Brien to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.

It’s a really sad story, as Lisa lost her dad to diabetes last year, and now her mom has been diagnosed with it. The marathon started last night, and they agreed to play N’Sync’s “Bye-Bye-Bye” for 24 hours straight (estimated 500 times).

Me? I would’ve gone postal after two hours, but I wish them all the best!

Just got the “OK” from Rubin Enterprises to put this up. I was recently hired to make the logo for their line of products called “La Tortilla Loca™”. Really great people, and it was a pleasure working for them. Yesterday their CD full of artwork went out; variations of the logo, the original 8″ full-body “Tortilla Man”, RGB versions for the web and CMYK layouts for print. (It’s a lot more impressive in its 6″ x 8″ version, trust me!)

So when you see this logo at supermarkets… you can go “HEY! I know the guy who made that logo!”.

Carole got all the documents and promotional items I made from the printers today. So (despite only losing 10 lbs this week) I feel pretty damn productive.

See kiddies? This is why so many Elementary School kids write I wanna be Eric Brooks when he grows up!“. Check out what sweet little Jesse signed here and here in my Guestbooks….

This is called “Trolling for hits”, and your CyberPal don’t play dat. It’s not my fault that his site’s counter is teetering toward “148” since July. Normally, when a kind soul signs my guestbooks, and forgets to add the “http:” I help them out and fix it, so you can all visit them and enjoy their sites…

But like I said… “E” don’t play dat… even if you have the balls to sign your name.

You know… I haven’t done a damn thing for this site in weeks… well, besides updating the links to the font site (for those who don’t know, I store the zips on XOOM… and as of two days ago, XOOM.com and Snap.com officially became NBCi.com )….

Check out the brand new Magic 8 Ball…. cleaner graphics, better effects, and ruder than ever. You know people actually write me to tell me how they use it to make important decisions?

I’ll keep you in my prayers, CyberPals!

I know it seems like I’ve dropped off the face of the web lately. I sorta did… A lot of good friends have been worried, so I’ll give you a quick recap of what’s going on in my section of CyberTown:

• I’ve been in full swing making logos, layouts and original artwork for a company in Arizona. Would love to tell you more, but they’re in the process of trademarking and patenting their products… so I really can’t yet…. SORRY!
• Also creating ads and a media blitz in the Poconos for Carole’s Home Remodeling Company
• Another scary week for the Tribe Called Brooks, involving Lawyers, Constables, Magistrates and other legal bullshit (and we’re told this will be the next two years of our lives…). Again, legal stuff… can’t talk about it.
• I’ve cut off most of the middle-of-my-back-length hair ’cause I Goddamn felt like it.. Actually, I’ve been told I look younger and better-looking, between that and my radical new (heh heh) “crash diet”… lost 40lbs in a month and a half so far.

Weekend Surfing Picks…

• No Chef Rocks yer Donkey! – By up & coming designer Shawn McBee (aka “SpoogE”) & I’m proud as hell of this guy. It’s the official website of the Sarasota Rock band, No Chef… and well, they rock your donkey!!!! Currently featuring band bios, lyrics and concert dates (MP3’s and merchandise coming soon!)Bonus page: I wish SpoogE a speedy recovery from his recent accident (setting his hand on fire to impress a girl)… he has re-created the horrifying incident in this hysterical Flash Animation.
• Printfont– Another fun charity project by Jo aka The Webmistress currently on display are the handwriting fonts of Jeffrey Zeldman, Heather Champ, Daniel (Waferbaby), Miz Kitty and a few other cool web designers. All of their favorite charities are listed. Available in PC and Mac formats. Great to have, in case one of their checks should happen to land in your mailbox by accident… (heh heh, I get Zeldman’s all the time….).My font comes out next month (that’s a lot of hard work to make fonts, you know!), but you can’t use it to cash *MY* checks, because that would be wrong, ok? :0)Also…..
• Women’s Font Collective – Another great brainchild of Jo’s whose time has come. We all know Ray Larabie and Chank… but what about all the great female fontographers????? They’re all featured right here with a ton of talented ladies. Been meaning to feature this site for months.Oh, and Jo? I’ve been waiting three years for Lance Arthur to return my email… so don’t feel bad. :0)
