Before Social Media There Was ERBzine Eclectica that we debuted in January 2000. Our ERB Motes & Quotes Eclectica was a weekly showcase for all. This was one of many Webpages that were featured in each week's ERBzine Webzine -- an online fanzine that we have published every week since 1996. the latest ERB news, releases, readers letters, and a boundless collection of items of interest to Burroughs and SF/Adventure Fans. Images were smaller then as the Internet and computer systems were slower -- also server storage was much more expensive. Sadly, some of the off-site non-ERBzine links we've shared are no longer active - that, we have no control over but they are left here as a curiosity or reference. |

"Doodad - Windows BMP format, a subtle wallpaper in pastel tones using a St John and a "doodad", one of several we know about, taken from Hillie's web site. The "doodad" is in the lower right corner.

Over the years we have been flattered to see Tangor (Bruce Bozarth) use so many images borrowed from our ERB Cosmos in his Web Empire sites and CD-ROMs. The "doodad" that he has integrated into the above St. John sketch is particularly special to us as it is my Princess's personal symbol. A few years back while trying to come up colophon to use on our music CDs, websites, promotions, etc., Sue-On used Chinese brush strokes to create two variations on ERB's hierroglyph. They turned out like this:

You'll notice that my Dejah's (the one featured in Tangor's "Wake CD-ROM" and in the above wallpaper download) is somewhat curvier and bustier than mine.
The next step was to incorporate this doodad into the copyrighted company logo for our 265-seat Restaurant and Showhall: SOO'S
The doodad actually doubles as a family hieroglyph with each part of the symbol representing a family member. The long bottom stroke on the left is Sue-On's. The shorter vertical stroke above hers is son Robin's. The long stroke on the right is mine, and the shorter stroke above mine is son Ja-On's. The dot to the right of my stroke represents daughter China-Li ('Cheena Lee').DOO-DAD EXPLANATION FROM OUR MATRIX PAGE
