Half a Million Visitors…..

Sometime tonight, visitor #500,000 passed through www.ericbrooks.com!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, this site turns a year old in six days….I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!

In the Newz…..

  • Awwww…. I sent Keith & Jennifer Brown a card for their anniversary. Happy 4th Anniversary, guys! It’s so cute to see folks are still in love after four years of marriage. :*)
  • Dan… Red Cricket Rocks! Discussion boards, Industry News, and hysterical cartoons with superhero dolls… I mean, who could ask for more???
  • Brazillian Designer Luiz Carlos Magela just unveiled his brand new website. It’s in SpanishPortuguese and in English…AND it’s totally asskicking!!!! Mr. Magela & I go WAAAAY back to the days when our sites were on XOOM, and we’ve been linked forever! YOU RULE, BRO!!!!(Thanks to Cosmic Diva for pointing out that it wasn’t Spanish. Luiz is too polite, and I thought my understanding of Spanish has slipped since the old Bushwick days!)
  • Speaking of dolls, Waferbaby is proud to announce their Jeffrey Zeldman and Nick D Action figures. (Webmistress coming soon!). They’re cool. Waferbaby worked really hard on them, and is so proud that he came out with the idea of Web Designer Action figures first. And since you & I such nice people, we’re gonna let him think that, right? 😉
  • Oooookay… I admit maybe I stretched the truth just a little about me & Faith’s trip to Florida. Sure I was invited… but I have a SERIOUS problem with being told I have to sit in the back seat, while a Pug gets to ride shotgun, okay? Besides, it’s apparent that the better man has won. She still wants ya dude… of course, so does she, and so does she… and I’m sure I’m leaving a ton of chicks out…It’s official: Matt Rossi is a Web Stud. (And my new hero!)

I’m too lazy to do “Weekend Surf Picks“… so check out all of the great sites above…. See Ya! Oh yeah… Happy Birthday to my homie… JOHN PANASIK…. I love ya, man!

OH NO…Virulent Memes is gone!!!!!!

Oh wait… Graham’s moved to http://grudnuk.com/vm/ (Friggin “A” dude! I’ll let Faith know when WE get back from OUR road trip to Florida… heh heh.).

Intergenerational Blogging: Yeah dude… there’s no originality left on the web (except Grudnuk)…. Megnut ripped me off, and I ripped off Keith Brown. Now I know how The Webmistress feels with all that stuff Zeldman “borrows” from her.

Meant to say this for three days… Welcome back Matt! Damn…. he’s more pissed than ever! (Psst! check your guestbook…) ;0)

Best Wishes for Bogey….

  • Well it sure looks frosted to me! Hey, nothing wrong with that…I used to spike & frost my hair (it was the 80’s… we did crazy things back then… I wanted to be the next Billy Idol.).I am wishing Bogey the very best… that story about Misha was so sad! :0(

    Yeah… “King Dork” having girlfriends…picture that. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  • Today is Webmistress Appreciation Day – Don’t forget to visit her site, and drop her a note and tell her how you appreciate her sharp wit, okay?That’s “WIT” with a “W”!

Attention, you Boneheads!!!!!

The entry below… was a SPOOF…a LAMPOON! (Gawd even close friends were concerned and wrote!) Yet more proof that hard-biting satire is a genetic trait with the Tribe called Brooks. That *was* Erika & Ashley (misspellings and all, drove me nuts!). I’m sure the fact that a nine and a seven year old being able to blog more interestingly than many of you, is probably making you feel pretty darn bad about yourselves right about now….

It should. You truly suck.

In fact, 99% of what you read here is pure satire (Yes, Carole & I were on Ricki Lake in ’94, and we *really* think Susan Rocks!…not to mention she’s a hottie…)… perhaps some of you take offense when it’s directed at you because you see a bit of stinging truth that you’d rather not face. I know I can take a look inside and laugh at myself… why can’t you all???? A war recently started over a fucking joke I did… I still can’t believe that happened… ya pompous morons!

If you are looking for Pearls of Wisdom in a more direct, serious fashion, I suggest

Lucid Confusion, particularly his pieces on not taking life too seriously and using the web as therapy (it’s a cold cruel web, kiddies!). Jeff doesn’t pull punches, and he tells it like it is.

Of course this is the same man who said: “Went to a wake for an in-law. Suddenly you realize, wow she’s got great legs”

Well… nobody’s perfect.
And hey, that just means more living, breathing women for me! :0)

A word from the Adorable Brooks Kidz….

Me & SammiHi it’s me, Erika. I’m going to start second grade in a few weeks, and I’m SO exited!

re-inactmnt... this is not a real pikcherDaddy won’t be able to do anything here, since he’s in the hospital. So I figured me and Ashley can fill in for daddy. I also finished his updates for Gresser Realty. (He does that junk the hard way… ain’t he never heard of PHP3 or XML????) Don’t forget to visit our site: The Adorable Brooks Kidz, and sign our guestbook… we’d love to hear from you!

Mommy wont tell us what happened.
All she tells us is “’cause your daddy’s A PIG, that’s why!!!


AshleyWell, DUUUUH, Rikki! We know Daddy’s a pig! Remember when we went to see “Rocky & Bullwinkle” and Dad went to get the popcorn? Mommy came out, and he was talking to the popcorn girl for 20 minutes… AND STILL DIDEN’T GET US NO POPCORN!?!?!

But Daddy’s fun too. When Mommy works late he lets us have cereal for dinner, and we don’t have to do our homework, cuz he says mommy will do it for us in the morning… she wont mind. They’re always fighting… they should go back on Ricki Lake like they did in 1994 (You don’t remember that do you, Erika? The producer kept calling you “lil’ Ricki” in the Green Room.)


Weekend Erika and Ashley’s Surfing Picks….

  • Point of Focus– Susan is really nice! She has lots of great stuff to make your web page look nice, and she supports Save-A-Dog. We like her! And we hope those rotten people stealing her stuff will go to jail or something…
  • Britney Spears Official Website – Ashley would KILL me if I didnt add this. They’re having a bit of trouble with their shockwave opening, but it’s a great site…and Britney actually writes to her!!!!
  • Blues Clues Weekly Game – It’s a lot of fun! Johnny loves it and him and Sammi learn stuff!!!
  • Yahoo! Clubs – Arthur – Arthur is my favorite character. You can talk about him here. The club founder even knows Marc Brown (the author).
  • Mama Stories – Lacey’s Weblog has some funny stories in it about her kids!

FEEL BETTER DADDY… WE LOVE YOU!!!

– Ashley & Erika –

I won I won I won I won!!!!!!

I never won anything in my life… and The Webmistress just announced ME the winner of her new Authentic hand-crafted official Webmistressâ„¢ T-Shirt!!!!! I gotta take a pic of me in it and send it to her (the pic, not the shirt…sorry, so excited!!!!).

I know, I know… it looks like the contest was rigged, but I swear to Gawd, I popped out an email within seconds of her posting the contest, and became the 10th Emailer. (Hey I’m excited, don’t ruin this for me!). And yes, like The Webmistress, I’m considering changing the name of this page to the “Jo/Matt/Pete/Faith/Graham Linky-Lovefest“… I even begged Jo to give it to one of her thousands of adoring fans and make me another one…. but she would have none of that! I won it fair & square, and the rest of you will have to BUY ONE!!!!! Or stay on her site… ALL DAY LONG, and keep pressing “refresh” every three minutes for the next contest announcement. She would be terribly flattered by your devotion too!
