So as I reflect from my second world tour in the past couple months I realize we need more distinctive landmarks from around the globe at CityPixel. As the mayor hasd mentioned in his previous post, look for new pixel cities in the near future. Who wouldn’t want to see a pixel- Glockenspiel like you can find at Marienplatz in Munich or Big Ben and the Eye in London? Oh and who can forget the Eiffel Tower or the Arc found in Paris. Please share with us which cities you want to see pixelated in the future and the landmark you most would like modeled!

I missed a lot while I was gone, some Presidential primaries and caucuses around the country like in New Hampshire and Iowa, with no clear-cut leader from either party as Barak and Hillary duke it out for the Democratic nomination and a three headed race between McCain, Huckabee, and Romney…Sorry Guiliani, but the race is over for you. (Maybe a VP candidate?) It was not good to see the dollar weaken even more, especially amid some more write-downs from banks due to the sub-prime crisis. Are we in a recession yet? MLB went to Congress and what was accomplished? Too bad for Miguel Tejada, who came out the biggest loser. Atleast on the sports front, one Manning is still in the playoffs, and his name ain’t Peyton. Wahoo Eli, go BLUE! And oh yeah Britney Spears is still crazy!

As for technical news, the CES went by without any big splashes out of Las Vegas, unless you think the LG Watch Phone is cool. As for MacWorld, also a snoozer, as Apple unveiled their smallest laptop to date, the Macbook Air. I am more interested in the new Apple TV and iTunes’ movie rental service. TV viewing is changing as the internet evolves and Apple is positioning itself for those changes. While on the discussion of streaming movies online, remember you can link to your favorite YouTube videos to TVs that you can hang up on your custom apartment and cube walls. That’s right, you can share your favorite variation of “The New Haircut” with all citizens of PixelYork! Yaegar bomb, yaegar bomb!?!?!

Greetings Citizens,

Here at the mayor’s office we’ve been tweaking the site to make it as user friendly as possible. Please help by letting us know of any bugs you discover, or anything that you think could work better. We’re also adding a bunch of new premium items, so show your support for the city by logging in, aerning pixels, and buying the stuff that will set you apart.

Also, with all the press coverage on the issue, I want to point out that no citypixel.com staff members have injected steroids or any other performancing drugs. PixelYork Stadium is clean too. All the bat boys are in good standing and have reported no wrong doing by the players.

Further, while I am Legend and Cloverfield have showed the negative aspects of big city living, PixelYork is vampire and monster free. Heck, if you look around Spiderman, the Punisher, Santa Claus and a radioactive looking guy have been hanging around so I think we’re in good shape if any vicious or undead creatures decide to visit.

And last but not least, we’re working on a few new cities and places of interest for 2008. Keep an eye out for some European and South Pacific action in the coming months!

Keep it tuned here, and, as always, tell your friends to tune in too! (If you let us know that you had some people sign up you might notice a little pixel bonus in your account….)

 -The Mayor
