  • "The Information Superhighway should have 'No Outlet' signs posted at the entry to paths that are under construction, just like real roads do!"
    -- overheard at a table of Internauts whining :-) about Gopher menus "announced before their time."

  • Pixel Pushers, a gallery of artworks on paper produced by some of the world's top illustrators and fine artists working in electronic media. On June 15th 1994, Pixel Pushers became North America's first digital art show held concurrently in real space and in cyberspace. It opened in "real space" at Granville Island, Vancouver where computer-generated work of the internationally respected digital fine artists and photographers are on display as signed and numbered limited editions printed on various media. For that "next best thing to being there" feeling, check out the Rogues' Gallery--live pictures from the opening festivities at Granville Island. You can also read and sign the Guest Book.
  • World Cup USA '94 "Official" Web site.
