Central Park Revisited I remember the story all too well. On April 19th, 1989, she was grabbed while jogging in Central Park, brutally raped, her head bashed in with a rock, and left for dead as she lost 3/4 of the blood in her body. It was one that outraged New Yorkers We prayed, we worried... but mostly we saw red...we wanted justice to the point where we wanted to see it served at all costs. |

What’s new at EricBrooks.Com plus newz and gossip all over CyberTown
June 30th, 2001
- Dollheads.Com - wow… I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since Faith & I wrote to each other. Always witty, always funny, always a pleasure. Tons of craft ideas and an inside peek of the life of her Wonderdog and Gassy but lovable cat. Her journal is so damn good it’s often plagiarized by others, and she has a book coming out in 2002.
What a cutie, it was great to hear from her again! :0) Go check her site out!
- SHOUTcast - So what are you waiting for? Bonnie Burton’s doing it, so is Al and Oliver Willis… Eventually, so will renob & SpoogE…
I’m talking about making your own internet radio show, streaming MP3 technology bay-bee! SHOUTcast shows you how it’s done.
At the sound of the tone, my main counter will be at 999,145…
Which means Eric Brooks.Com® will have its ONE MILLIONTH VISITOR blowing through in a matter of hours…. hee hee!

(Yeah, it’s been a while… I just don’t have the time I used to for surfing around….)
Normally, I try to show off some of my friends and their homepages (in compliance with my “I Support My Friends Policy”), this weekend, I thought I’d share some lesser-known dev-sites I like to haunt:
The PHP Resource Index - So you wanna use PHP??? This site has tons of resources, snippets of code, and everything you need to code in PHP. From the makers of the The CGI Resource index.
HTML Goodies - Everything you wanted to know about HTML, CSS, Java, DHTML and beyond, but were afraid to ask. Great tutorials, and totally rocks when your boss wants you to add a last-minute onClick function or something. Not that something like that has ever happened to me or anything. :0)
Extreme Flash - Tutorials, samples, faq… and even Photoshop tutorials and Midi links. You’ll be a master of Flash in no time!
Streaming Media World - What the title says… all you need to make your presentations streaming (like E-TV)… Real Audio, MP3’s, MPEG-4, news and more!
FTLS’s Free Perl CGI Scripts - A whole bunch of great (and FREE) CGI scripts.
(Pssst! Hey, got a site you want showcased as a “Weekend Surf Pick”??? Drop me a line, and save me countless hours searching for it!)

Just when you thought you knew someone…
This *can’t* be sweet little JustLisa, can it????
(WasArrested.Com link via The Ripper Man, ironic, ain’t it?)

Even after shifting, moving and dumping 6MB’s off this server, I’m still getting grief.
Unfortunately, a lot of this work requires me being home. And I have no Idea when that’ll be.
Everything’s fine otherwise.

Bobthecorgi - Kicks it off with the tale of her husband mere moments before becoming a father.
(Yes, Bob is a woman… unless you know a lot of guys with flammable purses!)
High speed car chases, police escorts, and how to get through the Holland Tunnel without paying a toll! A must read…
Aspirations to Sweetness - Jann’s tribute to her dad is guaranteed not to leave a dry eye in the house. She felt she let him down by not following his footsteps as an artist… but the pride in this man’s eyes, as he beams over his little girl in every picture tells me otherwise. :0)
Caustic Sense - Daddy Ray recalls the final moments of his (and BWG’s) dad.
Dear “Dad” - In case you missed this oldie, this is my contribution from last year. I wrote it on what would have been my mom’s 75th birthday. For those of you who grew up without a dad (or wished they had), this one’s for you.
But please… let’s not forget what’s important, and lose the true focus of this site… which is ME!
The Adorable Brooks Kidz spoiled me rotten cards they made from School. Erika’s was a huge card in the shape of a shirt with several ties… each tie was a “redeemable coupon” (”Good for one hug & Kiss”, “Good for One Story to be Read”, etc). Ashley made a “Daddy Card”, which was a paper doll with a shirt that flipped up like a card. Ashley & Erika then helped Sammi & Johnny make “Daddy Cards”.
One of the great amenities in our community is not only a swimming pool, but we also have stables*. We took the kids down for a while because they love the horses. Carole & Christina took horses out on the trail, I watched Johnny & Sammi take turns riding the pony**, while Ashley and Erika took the bigger horses around the ring. While getting off, Ashley whispered something to the trainer… Suddenly the trainer hands me a helmet:
“Alright, Daddy… your kids want you to show them what you got!”.
Me. Born and raised in Brooklyn… on a horse. Picture that.
It’s not like you see these things walking up and down Myrtle Avenue, y’know.
So I rode my very first horse today.
For those of you who know the joys, blessings and responsibility of fatherhood… I wish you all a happy father’s day!
*No animals were harmed in the making of this father’s day, nor were they allowed in the pool.
**Yes, I really did ask for the little pony rather than a big-ass horse!

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.
