2 August 1998

I'm sleeping-past-my-bus-stop, coffee-doesn't-do-it, where-am-I? tired.
I just haven't been sleeping well this past week. I keep having these
dreams about right-clicking on people to find out what they're thinking,
kittens writing tin-foil ball tutorials, and super-heroes that eat
nothing but bone marrow. I think I've been working too hard. And if the
amount of new stuff on the site's any gauge, I'd say we're all working
too hard.

- - > Webmonkey / Adobe ImageReady vs. Macromedia Fireworks

Two new Web-centric graphics programs have just hit the scene from
powerhouses Adobe and Macromedia. The Webmonkeys have taken these
what-you-see-is-what-you-get, all-in-one Web-graphics tools into their
lair to test, like so much Samsonite luggage, and see which one is built
to last.

Tuesday - 2 Webmonkeys, 2 programs, 2 very different points of view

Wednesday - Fireworks tutorial

Thursday - ImageReady tutorial

- - > Synapse

What's more gruesome, the hype surrounding "Saving Private Ryan" or the
gore and violence of D-Day itself? Katz thinks it's a toss up.

Coming Tuesday - Is pop culture a spiritual haven for Lost
Generation-Xers, as Tom Beaudoin asserts in his new book, "Virtual
Faith"? Katz takes a look.

- - > Member Central / Geek of the Week: Jason

This PEZ-hogging, Mountain Dew chugging, Evel Knievel-loving California
boy is a true Boba Fettishist.

- - > Cocktail / Jasmine

Now Bay Area locals can demonstrate their civic pride AND enjoy a
refreshing aperitif at the very same time. Just a baby in the drink
world, this bitter bev was invented a mere handful of years ago. So come
out and support this local young upstart!

- - > RGB Gallery / location, location, location

RGB's very first group show tackles the slippery meaning of "you are
here" on the Web. "My Place" gives you a peek into the minds of the
children of a remote, rural area of Northern California. "Hotel" uses
the memories of its creators to take us from Minnesota to Vietnam to
Hamburg. And }}}destinATiON{{{ explores the concept of travel on the Web
(a place with no distances).

- - > Web 101 / Web Glossary

Sometimes the Net can seem like a dense forest of jargon - take one step
off the beaten path, and you're lost. Fortunately, Web 101 has created a
trail of bread crumbs for you to follow: the Web Glossary.
