Baltimore - 26 September, 1999 - It's been a busy week here at the palatial headquarters of The World's Magazine. (Grin.)Honestly, we have been busily developing new projects, even if our "HQ" is not palatial.
Firstly, one Wednesday last we inaugurated a new feature which we trust will add value to your experience here. The MOIA Discussion List is an adjunct to our MEMOIRS OF THE INFORMATION AGE feature. Unlike our regular Mailing List, which is essentially a notification and polling mechanism, the MOIA list will be a moderated, interactive digest of the best posts from the MEMOIRS writers, a Charter Member list of over 200 technology professionals, and our readers. We hope you'll take a look at it and take part.
Meanwhile, MEMOIRS OF THE INFORMATION AGE has a special conversation with GEORGE OLSEN, Project Leader of the WEB STANDARDS PROJECT. I hope you'll find it as informative on the issue of how we all view the pages deployed in this medium as I did.
FEED THE HUNGRY. You can help someone else in this world and IT WON'T COST YOU A DIME. If you simply remember to drop by The Hunger Site every day that you surf and click a simple button ONE LESS PERSON WILL GO HUNGRY. The food is distributed by the United Nations World Food Programme and paid for through the sponsorship of companies that care. Do your part.
There's other great stuff here in our regular features, too. RAHEEM welcomes Cross Cultural Solutions to our list of Link Partners in HOT LINKS (Not from Louisiana). It's a site that fits our spirit and objectives and I hope you'll take a moment to surf over and visit them. BOB POWERS has a plethora of great new music CDs for your consideration and a high recommendation for Arbor Records. I'm up to my usual mischief over at AMERICAN DREAMS ;=) and JENNIFER BLUE has some very interesting things to say about the cosmic aspects of our coming week.
Did you enjoy Saturday's Full Moon in Aries? I know I did.
I know I should have updated the "Letters" page, VOX POPULI, this week. But I was busy with organizing the MOIA list and keeping my bosses over at Andover News Network happy by getting my copy in on time. I'll get to it next week.
LIFE OF ROD (Reader's Digest Version): Yes, I made myself eat every day in the past week, thank you.
Up for a good laugh (at my expense?) You might want to read about my experiences with FEDERAL EXPRESS over at IT Manager's Journal. (Wednesday and Thursday.)
REMEMBER: Tell every single one of your friends about this Web site. My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my advertisers thank you.
Thanks for coming back this week."Work like you don't need the money,
"Love like you've never been hurt,
"Dance like no one is watching..."
Rod
This is another Web site made on a Macintosh.
EDITORIAL CORRECTIONS: On our cover page, DB Daugherty's name was misspelled for two days. We apologize for the error. Let's hope I was more attentive this week.
