Did you see what that whacky George Carlin said today??? I didn’t think he & his Webmaster would remember…
In keeping with my tradition I opened a forum on Yahoo today. It’s called "Pocono Internet Professionals"
It’s time to meet the needs of Vacationers, honeymooners, Pocono Businesses and websurfers across the Northeastern United States… a lot of people have tried and failed, but I think I have the backing necessary to pull it off…
Any help, suggestions or advice would be more than welcome….COME ON IN, JOIN AND MAKE SOME FRIENDS!
(Even if you don’t live in the Poconos)
Did I mention it was my birthday…? (Sad puppydog face) :0(

So, let me get this straight…
Internet Explorer 5* has basically been out for a year now, and you still didn’t make an icon for when your site is bookmarked????
How: Take a square .GIF image, and shrink to 16×16 pixels. Re-enlarge to 32×32.
Use a file converting tool like Irfanview, and save as "favicon.ico". It’ll look blurry at the standard icon size, but IE5 will re-shrink it, and it’ll look great! 
Implementation: Well, if you’re using only one favicon.ico for your domain, just upload into your main (public_html) folder.
To use several (like I do) insert this into the <HEAD> of your document:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/pathto/favicon.ico"> * This doesn’t work with Netscape Navigator… sorry!
(But then again, what *DOES* work in Netscape???)
Weekend Surfing Picks….
- Jessica Brooks.Com- Like she said in my guest book, being an egomaniac must run in the name "Brooks". :0) Lots of fun stuff all over her site. Oh and Jessica? Definitely redhead! (We’re not related, so I can flirt with her…)
- Webbie World - Another great work by Mark Connell. Tons and tons of great sites. (My personal fave is the current #2 People’s pick.)
- Farmclub.com - Dammit put down that Metallica MP3!!!! You know it’s illegal (unless you’re doing it to piss them off… uh, well then, KEWL! heh heh…::turning against their fans like that, grumble, grumble:::)
Well, I kinda cheated on this link, it goes directly to my buddy’s band, "Deadwood" you can vote for them (hint hint) to be "Download of the Week"… check out their MP3’s and then check out the rest of the site. Another great venue for indie bands to get noticed.

- 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 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)

Dots O' Links
Here are a list of other great blogs and journals for you to check out. Due to Technorati's way of ranking sites, and I don't have a blogroll, I've pulled these right out of my Links Page.
