The City Kids is a site where four couples keep track of current doings for their own amusement. Another site with high technology talent, but note the warning on the first page. This is an experimental site that's really not meant for the public.

Cliq Services Cooperative is a Web page design group made up of fellow travelers who understand what it means to "geek" pretty much everything they do. The Sole Proprietor has never decided whether that's a curse or a blessing.

Ghostwheel is a bit like a complex Chinese Puzzle: there are sections within sections within sections and the owner likes heavy duty graphics, sound, vampires, leather clothing and swords. How many of you have toured the U.S. in your own bus, setting up WEB sites for Renaissance Faires? Or designed WEB sites for Fortune 1000 companies while wearing a plumed hat and steel edged weapons? This is hacker land and the Webmaster's name is Merlin.

Jay Kinney's Private Clinic of Cultural Collision is a large site and speaks for itself. The Sole Proprietor knew Jay during the Rip Off Press years, an intelligent and interesting man of some accomplishment. He is currently the editor and publisher of GNOSIS, A Journal of the Western Inner Traditions, a thoughtful, intelligent and weird magazine. Need we say more?

Restaurant Wine is a wine trade magazine for restaurants owned by Ronn Wiegand and Brenda Boblitt. You will have to take the Sole Porprietor's word, but they are two of the world's great wine palates with a detailed knowledge of the subject that can be humbling. Wine is a lot of fun, but developing a palate capable of differentiating the subtle nuances found in the world's wines is difficult. Wine people like to tell you its easy, but they have wine to sell.

The Sole Proprietor was their student during the wine years. A slow learner who, over time, came to appreciate what they had accomplished. Use their wine recommendations. Drink them.

Robin (krystal) Former Archaeologist, now serious computer geek. Very good intuitive feel for why the bits bounce from router to router because it fascinates him. Nice collection of Lego sets. Good introduction to Rikki who was saved from becoming a Python's meal by the hand of (what else?) fate.

The Rip Off Press is a former employer and the focal point for a lot of friends during the decade of the 1970's. I'm not sure who is still there, but I assume Fred Todd is still running the shop and maybe Don Baumgart as well. Gilbert Shelton lives in Paris, it seems, and maybe others such as Jaxon and Moriaty send postcards. Nice to see they're using the Web to keep with the times.
