From stayfree at metalab.unc.edu Tue Nov 14 19:05:12 2000 From: stayfree at metalab.unc.edu (Carrie McLaren) Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 20:05:12 -0400 Subject: Stay Free! | 14 November 2000 Message-ID: After months of slacking off, I've redesigned the website: http://www.stayfreemagazine.org Thanks to Mr. Charles Branstool for helping make it happen. Still nothing up from the new issue, but I added a couple items from issue #16 that had fallen through the cracks: "Saving Community Gardens" Quality advice from NYC's garden militia http://www.stayfreemagazine.org/16/garden.html Bob Boster interviews a "furry." Furries are, in Bob's words, "fans of all things anthropormorphic." http://www.stayfreemagazine.org/16/furry.html ELSEWHERE: "Renaming The Mixing Bowl for Cuisinart?" http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14419-2000Nov13.html Under a plan proposed today, roads and Metro stations in Northern Virginia would be named after corporate sponsors. ( Heads up, Virginians! Call your city officials and weigh in on the matter. The Virginia Department of Transportation would be a good place to start.) New York state residents can signup to block telemarketing calls: https://www.consumer.state.ny.us/prereg.htm More ad creep: ads on fans in (primarily African American) churches http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/317/metro/Cool_ads+.shtml If you are reeeeeeally bored, you can vote for STAY FREE! in the Utne Reader awards: http://www.utne.com/apa On a personal note, as some of you may know, I quit my day job a couple of weeks ago. If anyone knows of any part-time/short-term graphic design work in NYC (Quark, Photoshop, HTML are my main tools), let me know. carrie
