Gay Marriage II: Putting speedbumps on the Slippery Slope The slippery slope fallacy is the biggest argument against gay marriage... when that doesn't work they turn to the writings of "Mr. Tolerance" himself... the Apostle Paul.

What’s new at EricBrooks.Com plus newz and gossip all over CyberTown

Seasons Greetings!!!

December 17th, 1999

I’ve finished all of my work waaaaaay ahead of schedule, and I’m shutting down until after New Year’s. (I know I’LL be here…)

KUDOS to EToy Agent Zai making it clear in Wired News yesterday, that Etoy appreciates the well-meaning offers from hackers, but want to win the "etoy war" with protests, press conferences and in court…in a word: LEGALLY.

There is nothing more powerful than martyrs and sympathy….and that’s why so many people are behind them! They stand a good chance of their site being returned to them on December 27th, criminal activity will only make it worse.

By the way eToys stock has plummeted to $37.56 per share. The LA Times has no idea why…

Wired News reports today that celebrities and major Internet businesses are rallying behind etoy. In fact, we’re all invited to a Press Conference Monday at the Museum of Modern Art (11 West 53rd St.) in New York City, at 6:30 PM. I’ll be there in spirit as our car broke down Wednesday….

Speaking of which…it’s been a very weird week. The night the car broke down, we were on route to Christina’s Christmas performance at school. Carole was planning on picking up all of our layaways at the department store on the way back…

The next day, she called about the layaways and was informed by a clerk that all of our Christmas gifts have been returned to the shelves and the money can’t be returned until December 26th….

This year, Christmas will come a little late for the Brooks kids…they’re going to learn that Christmas is about family, togetherness, and an empty tree…a perfect end for a fucked-up, almost surreal week….

See you all on January 3rd!!!!

Good Holiday Fun!!!

December 14th, 1999

My cyberpal, Amanda Formaro of The Family Corner has a great game and holiday contest:

"Concentration", an online memory game. Play the game, and send her an E-Card, and you can win your own copy of the movie "Godzilla", starring that Ferris Bueller/Inspector Gadget guy…. It’s fun!

http://www.thefamilycorner.com/concentration/concentration.cgi Send her an E-Card anyway, she’s a sweetheart!

Wicked Holiday Fun!!! Longtime design hero, and everyone’s favorite Head Lemur, Alan Herrell also brought another fun little diddy my way: d3d2.com has a shockwave game, where you have two shoot 10 bald eToys guys in order to get into the site. My high score is 13…them bald guys get faster and keep on coming…

No Holiday Fun!!! Since the whole eToys fiasco has begun, their stock plummeted from $67 to a low of $45 per share on Friday. One financial site’s indicators are all screaming "SELL" all the way down the page… ZDNet’s Interactive week reported underground plans to drive eToys stocks down to "$0" with "Sit-Ins" and full-scale Hacker Cyber-Attacks

BOYCOTT UPDATE!!!!

December 9th, 1999

Gaining momentum now as Alan Herrell, of LemurZone Designs, puts out the press releases: http://www.prweb.com/releases/1999/prweb10839.htm any familiar names???? WHUZZUPDATE goes out tomorrow

The Christmas Cards have been improved so that the person you sent it to can see your card in one click (none of that ID crap anymore!)

The mail server was down yesterday. If you sent anything from this site, and saw a message that said:

Who are you?: Inappropriate ioctl for device postmaster… Service unavailable postmaster… Service unavailable MAILER-DAEMON… Saved message in /usr/tmp/dead.letter

Then it didn’t go out…you have to send it again…SORRY!
