SAD
1:37P
It's a black day, and despite cheap thrills muting the sounds of people leaving, I keep the Kleenex close. It's harder when people care.
I've mostly been updating my MGMC Resource Guide, breaking it into smaller, faster loading pages. Actually that area is just my excuse to access all my links, anytime, anywhere, without carrying around a bookmark file, or my notebook, or storing it all on my PalmIIIxe (have to save all my room there for Tank and Solitaire--the really important things).
And speaking of really important things, I downloaded TrekSounds for my Palm. Actually, we'll test it out on Honey's Palm first. More Palm stuff here.
Robot Wisdom - Jorn Barger's Weblog. Eclectic is such an over-used word, but I think it applies here.
Halcyon's Tea Cosy Tales. Such a unique fellow.

BILL'S CONTEST
1:51P
The President announces a Web Site contest. Will award up to $50,000 for the best idea for a one-stop government info Web site to be located at firstgov.com. Take a look at their list of 20 Things You Can Do and Learn on U.S. Government Web Sites.
I checked WebsMostLinked.com and grownmencry.com is ranked #29,732 out of 658832 domains. It's all those bread crumb trails across the Web.
The Great Portal Purge. Companies pulling ads from portals that "didn't do it." ". . . newly Net-savvy companies insist on
tying pricing to results, not just eyeballs." There's that eyeballs word again.
Dot-Com Jitters Spread to Amazon.com. Brings up a good point: "If the Internet companies are having problems, the people who have been selling them infrastructure are going to have problems too." i.e., Sun and Cisco.
The Little Boner That Changed the Boy. Grrrls, at least our tits don't get us into this kind of trouble.
Sheep Related Links. But how does The Church of the Inflatable Clydesdale fit in . . . ooops, . . . clicked on the link and it was a 404. Just as well.
BTW 'Chicken Run' was great!
Microsoft and the Net Revolution. They want us to not have to struggle with several interfaces, and while they're at it, they'll store our files on their networks; loan us our browsers; update our dictionaries; . . . mind melt mind melt mind melt . . .
Wench. A little feminism, a little politics, a lot of attitude.

BARF BAGS
2:28P
Let's get a unique site right up front here,
Barf-O-Rama. You gotta check out this guy's barf bag collection. And he even has a collection of other barf bag collectors' sites.
Writing and Using a Style Guide. Good notes on how to organize a style guide. Here is also a style checklist.
Let's go surfing now, everybody's learning how...
www.skizz.com. Nice to see the kids havin fun.
Waded into Joe Jenett's CoolSTOP; like to read his dailywebthing. His page leads me to Linkwatcher, which has a list of more blogs, the top stories, Wired,Salon, Slashdot, and The Motley Fool stories. Que handy!
Wireframe - nothin but nav, but neat to look at.
Search Adobe PDFs Online. I put in "Photoshop Tips" and came up with some nice looking stuff. Could be useful.
Dr. Seuss Went to War. A catalog of political cartoons by Dr. Seuss. No green eggs and ham here.
A ruler for your screen. $15 shareware. Measure things on your desktop. Maybe now I won't have to be doing screenshots and then opening in Photoshop to find out the pixel size of something.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Unique Visitors. I like the introductory quote: "It was either American humorist Mark Twain or British politician Benjamin Disraeli who said there are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies and statistics." For those who track stats on those 'millions of pairs of eyes'.
Subversive update: Web-page designers warn Microsoft to back off.
All day with Jakob Nielsen.

FROGS
7:52A
Here's one consumer's problems in getting DSL.
Dot-com Layoff Tracker. Jane be nimble, Jane be quick.
The new licensing terms: When you create content, it belongs to someone else. Unless you homestead at Geocities, and a couple of other places.
The frog like you've never seen him: who's your froggy? And so begins the longest day of the year. ;)

Pets.com bought out Petstore.com taking only their customer list; employees laid off, warehouse sold.
The dot-com deadpool. Rumors and facts. Dot-com failures, kick em while they're down.
Is dot-com stress worth it?
This is gettin me down, please something positive!
Small Web world. In a former life, I was Heartless of SimNet. SimNet disbanded and I lost track of some great guys. Through a mention on a Web page, one of those great guys, Sandman, found me. Check out his screed.
A woman from San Francisco rode her motorcycle through India. She has a journal, a group of weekly dispatches and even a Motorcyle Maintenance Log.
More on the iBrator. Check out the iBrator theater. Will make you smile.
