What's new at EricBrooks.Com plus news and gossip all over CyberTown
I have just been informed via messenger (A pug taking a whizz on my front door) that Faith objects to being called a “loudmouth” (dammit, stop snickering out there…how much more trouble do you want to get me in????).
She’s still gonna call me “dickless”. I just know it.
This “blogging nicely” stuff is really holding me back here…. at least two new names have already come to mind.
For those whining “Ohhhhh, not ‘blog-nicely’ agaiiiiin”…. I am not from your world. Neither are most of the people who visit my site. My section of cyberspace has barely heard of Jeffrey Zeldman… they know nothing of Digital Divas, Jason Kottke and Derek Powazek (whom I never heard of until January). So you’ll have to excuse me if I rehash a “dead horse” every now and then; or sound a bit redundant…. as you all kid yourselves into thinking you and your pantheon of “Web Gods” have this global reach….
I’m not saying that with any disrespect or resentment intended (well, maybe a little).
But most of “my people” are new to the web, or share interests different from yours. They come with their own stories, various levels of talent and have their own heroes.
I welcome you all into my world, but what they say goes here. For they are MY “Web Gods”.
Now guys… I really got a lot of work to do today, can I please resume my thoughts on a weekly basis????
Yo man, WTF is this????? Flogging a dead horse???? Dubious reasons????
You’re commenting on the 17th about something I wrote on the 14th about what happened on the 9th????
Isn’t this kinda like the pot that accused the kettle of living in a glass house with a slingshot???
Has it ever occurred occured to you that news travels in my corner of cyberspace a little slower? Maybe I’m busy maintaining a string of sites in the Poconos??? Maybe I wanted to get all the facts (originally via heresay…I admit it) before I opened my yap?????
At least everything I
said is still up … and where, oh where has Kill Your Blog gone???
Blog Nicely Judge Wuss… you never know when I may be reading.
Leader Diva has spoken to me. She disagrees, but respects my opinion on this… She felt it’s a matter for the individual, offending Divas to work out and settle….you know what?
I respect that. I also understand it’s been worked out… I really respect that (and want to adamantly stress that none of us so-called “anti-diva-movementers”[via judge wuss] had anything to do with it. ALSO: I am not now, nor have I ever been anti-diva… just voiced an opinion that’s all.). I was upset that they were quiet and since then Netscape Diva, Random Diva, Bleu Diva, (Jeezus, this is starting to sound like the Spice Girls!), and many more have all spoken up and voiced their thoughts… and I really really respect that!
To make it worse, Kitty Diva wished me a happy father’s day, Loudmouth Diva actually said something nice (I think?)…and they’re all being nice to me…STOP THAT!!! …why can’t you all be miserable unforgiving evil people like me????? Like I don’t feel bad enough coming down on you all like that???? STOP THAT!!!
Obligatory Haiku (Every blog has to have one, I suppose)
Stupid ass haiku
I hate making a haiku
haikus are so dumb
And all this time I thought Uncle Joe hated me (::Sniff::)
Zoinks!!!!! I’ve been assimilated!
Yes… Fear Me!!! (well maybe not you… you can easily kick my ass!)
Yana and Jujubeans Diva…COME BACK!!!!
There… I blogged tonite. Happy, Jon ??!!?!!?
With the Pocono 500 going on less than 3 miles away from me, the Tribe called Brooks ain’t going anywhere this weekend.
I gave the Digital Divas story a quick re-write and renamed it
“Digital Divas II: A condemnation really really bad scolding“. Personally, I thought I was too rough on them… I’m hoping they will see this as a golden opportunity to make it up to this kid and show us what the concept of this organization is all about. By and large they really are a wonderful bunch of ladies…
How shocked I was to find out that Loudmouth Diva was nowhere to be found in this fiasco. I’d tell her that I think she’s hysterical, and her blog is quite entertaining… but we got this great hate/hate relationship going on… Why ruin a fun thing?
Well, maybe it just hit a cold patch.
I am officially billing WHUZZUP as a kind-of “blog” now…
For a number of reasons:
Yeah… once a week! I got a life you know. Sorta.
Go ahead Jay, Tom, Matthew and Jo… let me have it with the “I told you so’s”, as I swore it was never gonna happen on this site. So, what do you think?

Daddy? Wherever you are? I made you a little something for Father’s Day .

I’m withdrawing my support for the Digital Divas in their “Diva & Goliath” campaign.
When catty, immature members can attack a 13 year old girl for a simple mistake… well, that makes me sick to my stomache! From what I’ve read all over the place, and from the emails I’ve been getting, most of the web feels the same way.
I’ve removed all traces of “Battle of the Digital Divas“, and replaced it with
“Digital Divas II: A condemnation“.
Well, I tested the Font Site today, and I seem to be able to download a few, and access it via FTP. The XOOM site appears to stil be down though.
No brawl at the office yesterday… the fine gentlemen understood the complexities of a company takeover. They also realize that this construction company is owned by people originally from Brooklyn & Queens and it will be run like one… capice?
Memo2 Zippygirl: Hang in there girl, and keep doing what you love!
Believe me… I know what you’re going through!.
Just one thing… STOP TELLING PEOPLE THAT!!!!! I’m gonna have no reputation left! It’s hard work being a bastard, I tell you!!!!
On top of all the technical, financial and physical (yeah, my life is a Sylvester Stallone movie!) problems at my new job…
I was just informed by CyberPal, Steve Sobol, that my XOOM sites are down as NBCi bought over XOOM and they’re making changes to their mail system and everything is down….
Meaning…no fonts, no desktop themes and no screensavers for you! This *SO* bites!!!!!
I have a few tricks up my sleeve…but it’ll take a few days to set up assuming I don’t get locked up on assault charges…don’t ask!)….just know I still love you guys, okay? ‘Cause “we”, here at EricBrooks.Com, support our Friends…
