does that sound?
The mayor is hinting at some very cool features that are coming down the pipe in PixelYork soon. Can’t wait until I grab myself a car and get to pimp (errr, customize) it like my apartment. Sweet! Maybe it will be an undercover cop car, so I can keep an eye out on all of you. Just kidding. The Facebook app also sounds interesting considering I always like fancying up my profile, and what beats placing my apartment on my page. How cool is that?
Lastly, I wanted to give us some props and share with you all some recent posts from other writers in the blogosphere who are talking about CityPixel:
I hope you enjoyed the articles! Don’t hesitate to put us on your blog, who knows I might just give you back a shout out.

Greetings Citizens!
I’m pleased to announce that, like Deval Patrick, I’m driving a lovely new sports car. Naturally, it was through taxation, and special favors that I was able to acquire this little gem. It’s like a ruby on wheels! I also get a special parking space outside my apartment so it’s always available. Well… I just wanted to thank you all.
In appreciation, I’d like for all my citizens to have one (at a modest pixel fee - but still free)!
We’re working hard to get parking allocated for everyone, and it should be any day now. Keep an eye on your profiles, and shoot to be the first person on your block with a sporty new car or truck!
Also, if you’re a facebook fan, we’re testing a new feature to bring your very own customized apartment or cube into your facebook account. If you want to help the testing process just drop us a line and we’ll see what we can do.
There’s a lot more on the horizon so stay tuned to citypixel.com!

That’s right, as the great Jimmy Buffet titled his song, the same goes for the climate in CityPixel. As folks around the globe are preparing for the heavy hurricane season, just ask those in Jamaica about Hurricane Dean: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070819/D8R43I500.htm, citizens of PixelYork can rest assure that they will always have great weather. Sunny, blue skies, what more can you ask for?
With the financial markets already in flux the last few weeks, the US can’t afford another incident like Katrina. Lets hope for the best and wish that this will be a calm hurricane season this year. As for the volatility in the stock exchange recently, the housing market seems to be crashing in the US, but remember CityPixel continues to offer FREE properties in either an Apartment or an Office Cube, with 0% interest (duh, it’s free)! You can’t beat that, can you? Plus you are able to design to your liking with free furniture and if you really want to get fancy, pick up some premium furniture with your ‘Pixels’! Grab some space now before it runs out. And lookout for new types of “properties” you can own in the future!
Lastly earn some more pixels by answering this hurricane related trivia question. First three to email me correctly wins.
PixelTrivia of the Week
Please give me the history of naming hurricanes. When did this begin, how were names chosen, was it always done this way, etc.?
Good luck!

Greetings Citizens:
I’d like to reach out to everyone and let you know that five new additions have been made to the city. Coffee houses, furniture stores and night clubs. Good places to shop or hang! Check them out, and reply to this post if you can find all 5. There just might be a prize in it for you!
Speaking of the furniture stores, I hear we’re having a big sale! Well, actually, the price of furniture has been slashed by 25% just because we want everyone to reconsider the designs they are currently sporting, and try to liven it up a bit.
Keep close tabs on the coffee houses and night clubs. Very soon you’ll be able to stream music! Word on the street is that you’ll be able to listen to the same music in the privacy of your own apartment or cube too.
Special Notice: Next time you log in you may notice a green popup. This will only happen the next five times you log in. We just want to remind you of all the cool stuff you could be doing.
That’s all from City Hall for now…

Just wanted to acknowledge some of the major baseball milestones that were recently achieved or will be in the near future.
Citypixel’s PixelYork is currently a Yankees town (but can be a Mets town soon too), so big props to Alex Rodriguez, who was the youngest player to ever reach 500 HRs. Just incredible, and maybe one day we will talk about another record he may break from another guy I will acknowledge later in the post. Same congrats goes to Frank Thomas, who hit his 500th HR earlier in the season, and a good luck to Jim Thome who is only 10 away.
Now on to one of the most controversial HRs in the history of the game. Barry Bonds hit his 755th last night, tying him with Hammering Hank Aaron at #1 on the overall list. We all know this story is clouded with a steroids scandal, but seeing this issue existed throughout the era, it’s difficult and unfair to scapegoat one player and we should still remember this day as a great achievement.
And lastly, Tom Glavine is attempting to be one of few pitchers to reach the 300 wins milestone today as he pitches against the Cubs at Wrigley field today. He may be the last guy to reach that in a long time.
So what does this have to do with CityPixel? Well did you know that PixelYork has it’s very own state-of-the-art venue within the city? Yeah, that’s right if you Jump To 6100-6600 Lenox Avenue you can visit PY Stadium:
Now the fun part is to hear all of your suggestions to determine what you would like to see us do with the stadium? Do you want to view concerts or stream sporting events? Let us know and we will add it to our list of enhancements to review!
Now on to the weekly trivia question where you are eligible to increase your pixels total you can use to purchase premium goods. First three to email me the correct answer wins.
PixelTrivia of the Week (Baseball style):
Craig Biggio also reached a big milestone this year (3000 hits), but he is determined to break another all time record this season. Name the record he is attempting to break, the player he plans to take the record from, and the number he is looking to surpass?
Lets all wish Mr. Glavine good luck today as he attempts to win #300!
