Here's a list of my current Internet projects. You can get some of this stuff once by asking. You can get on a mailing list for updates, additions, future stuff, etc, by asking. That's two things. One is just asking for some stuff. Two is asking to get on one of my mailing lists for future stuff. *** NOTE! ***: you may send more than one request in one email message. Send all your requests in one message... please! And you can put your request(s) in the Subject line or body of the message. Ok, get ready! Here's information about some "stuff": 1) art stuff: For instance, the Arts & Cultural Events List. I send this out twice a month. It is a list of FREE art events (gallery openings, lectures, movies, book readings, concerts, etc) mostly in the Boston area. To get on the AACEL Mailing List, send the message: SUBSCRIBE AACEL your-email@address.here to: rgardner@charon.mit.edu 2) The Friedrichshof Chronicles. This is a sort of net.literature project of mine. It is some writing done while living on an artists commune some years ago. Contains "adult" material. You have to very explicitly ask for a sample of this. To get the introduction: SEND FHC-INTRO your-email@address.here 3) The Cambridge Chronicles. Like a diary. Like The Friedrichshof Chronicles, but written here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, location of two of the world's most opinionated zip codes. You gotta ask. Here's the magic word: TCC-INTRO 4) Imagine a jigsaw puzzle managed by and located somewhere on the Internet. You connect to the puzzle, along with lots of other people and begin working to put it together. Since it is a mathematical object stored in "intellectual space", it can be quite a bit larger and more complicated than those puzzles you once put together on the kitchen table or living room floor. To keep yourself informed about the state of this project, and where and when it will be available: JIGSAW And I'm not even gonna mention the 3D puzzle with the TV cameras and the tools to manipulate puzzle pieces... 5) net stuff. I find net related stuff on the Internet and save it. Do you know about Gilder, superdistribution, FAX.FAQ or the NETBANK.FAQ? No? Need I say more? The magic word: NET-SAMPLE 6) essays. I write essays from time to time. No telling what the next one will be about. Ask to get on my essay mailing list and you will get a copy of each one as it comes off the assembly line in my brain. I'll bet you know exactly what to say here! Hint: SEND ESSAY-LIST your-email@address.here 7) Personal Computing. A directory of 13,000+ computing industry companies, user groups, publications, etc. Three sections with information organized geographically, by name, and by keyword.

Everything? You decide. A real hodge-podge of stuff seen by me on the net, in newspapers and magazines, and then saved in this database. You saw it, meant to cut it out and save it--but forgot, lost that page, etc. But not me! And now, all together, at last, in one place, in order to relieve your anxiety about ever finding it again! A sample is available via the usual, namely: SEND EDB-SAMPLE your-email@address.here 11) "no name Guide to the Internet & a Personal History of Computing (with The Great American Machine)" is my book about the Internet.

You can also send me those old art postcards from opening receptions--and I'll put them to good use.
