If you looked at the HotFlash you recently received, you probably found it
a little hard to read. So, with many apologies for the mistake, here is an
improved version of all the HotWired news that's fit to print.

and information.

Future as Art 
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Happy New Year and welcome back to HotFlash.


RGB Gallery: Clear Your Cache

The Gallery reopens this week with a new exhibit: Prototype 19.

built an interactive machine for the future, while commenting wryly
on technological progress.

Synapse: Think the Web

This week in Media Rant: Bill Gates, cloning, and Princess Di. No,
it's not 1997 revisited. It's Jon Katz's scary New Year's nightmare.
Read his second annual media-fueled sleep disturbance, in which Oprah
Winfrey gives birth to multiple clones of Princess Diana - if you
dare.

And on Tuesday, Simson Garfinkel thinks the software industry and the
US Department of Justice should widen their tunnel vision on the
issue of preserving competition in the world of Internet
applications. Join Garfinkel's campaign to improve file formats.

Webmonkey: Build the Web

You can't make killer Web sites without a designer, a copywriter, an
interface expert, an engineer, and an HTML jockey, right? Yes and no,
says Jeffrey Veen. Even if you're flying that site solo, success will
come when you think like a diverse team.

Thursday: You can now - finally! - introduce elegant typefaces into
your Web pages without forcing users to download monster GIFs. But
how, you ask? With embedded fonts! Taylor makes sure you'll be ready
to wow your visitors with gorgeous typography - once they are
equipped with Netscape and Microsoft 4.0 browsers.

Web 101: Learn the Web

Understanding the basic ideas behind computer networks can help you
understand a great deal about the Internet. It might even help you
figure out what to do when your browser makes you wait. Nadav on
networks, in Web 101.

Dream Jobs: Work the Web

We at Dream Jobs are taking a vacation from our usual reports on
companies on the cutting edge. Read about Glide Memorial Church of
San Francisco, where volunteering offers benefits that can feel just
as great as cashing that end-of-the-year bonus and last as long as
401(k) plans. Glide Memorial, for those who don't know it, is an
oasis of good spirit located in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood that
is anything but tender.

Member Central

Ever since the day she scaled her company's firewall to post her
resume on Mosaic, Rachel has been a devoted netizen. Her creative
spirit grooves on the instant gratification of building Web sites and
she maintains a utopian vision of a future Net society in which
people will be judged by the content of their intellect rather than
the bulge of their wallet.

On days when we're feeling especially mortal and adrift from the
American dream, we order a Martini in the hope of a spiritual
revival, if only for the post-meridian. As libertine Bob Shacochis
wrote, "I know I'm not going to live forever, and neither are you,
but until my furlough here on earth is revoked, I should like to
elbow aside the established pieties and raise my Martini glass in
salute to the moral arts of pleasure."

you have to do is reply to this message, change the subject line to
read PASSWORD (that's important), and include a one-sentence note
