I started at
Gannett on Tuesday, in the
Digital Production Center. I will
be building Web sites for small
papers in the Gannett group. So
far, so good.
Prior to starting with Gannett, I
enjoyed what I billed the "Magical
Victory Tour." On Thursday of last
week, I journeyed to the center of
Pennsylvania. I stayed with Erica
for a number of days and visited
State College. Friday was as close
to a perfect day I can recall
haivng. During the day, I went over
to Penn State and saw a number of
my old professors in the Carnegie
Building. It was great to return to
the
College of Communications and
see so many people.
Later that day, Erica and I made
it to The Deli for dinner.
Following that,
Star Wars - Episode I, while
sitting in the hot tub. Oh yeah.
Saturday night, Cliff and I made it
to the Big Easy, probably the last
time. He will be in the
Peace Corps before too long. It
was a fabulous trip, befitting of
the occasion.

NY Post -
No 3-Letter Domain Names Left
Turns out the WWW does have some
spectrum scarcity after all.
The Post -
POP NOTES: Sue 'Em All:
Heavy-metal rock band Metallica has
sued song-swap software company
Napster Inc. and three
universities, alleging they
encouraged users to trade songs and
recordings without the band's
permission. I am eager to hear
what profs Drs. Richards, Calvert,
and Bettig have to say about this
turn of events.
The Onion was really good this
week.

News
Saturday, was the
Blue White game, the annual
intrasquad scrimmage to end spring
practice. Blue, my team, beat
White, Erica's team, 33 - 28,
despite some obvious point
shaving at the end of the contest.
I am kidding of course, but that
did not stop me from pulling out an
infamous sign again.
Penn State was
well represented in the NFL
Draft, with Courtney Brown and
Lavar Arrington going first and
second. Other Lions also
signed as free agents.

Site of the
Week
Another highway site? Yes indeed,
this week I present
Andy's Highway Kick-off Page,
a portal for sites about highways
on the Web. Just about every
highway Web site is listed, with
comments. Maybe I will stop
choosing highway sites, but don't
press your luck.
