HotFlash 4.25 - Do Not Read

HotFlash 4.25
for the week of 30 May 1997
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Hello and welcome to HotFlash, the weekly newsletter of events and
information for HotWired and WIRED magazine.


Do Not Read
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

Censored for your protection: Do not read the following. Revisiting a
topic that just won't die, Jon Katz takes another vigorous stab at the
Wal-Mart censorship controversy of '96; he still gets piles of email
on the enduring subject. Find out what people are losing sleep over,
and get your polls, quotes, posts of the day, and Threads like no
others - all this week, in The Netizen.

Push, shmush. "We've already 'done' push media and it worked," says
Brooke Shelby Biggs. "It's called email." On Tuesday, Biggs considers
the quiet, simple beauty of email - the "democratic" and affordable
info-delivery system. Get Biggs on media, Garfinkel on tech,
Frauenfelder on culture, and McChesney's HotSeat - in Packet, made
possible by Oldsmobile.

Abracadabra, server power! Designing a Web site is one thing, but how
the hell do you get it online? On Wednesday, Wendy Owen gives an
overview of how to transfer files to a server using FTP. Plus, the
duel of <blink> vs. <marquee> and a lesson on setting up the buttons
on your browser "dash board" - all this week in Webmonkey, a service
station for the wired world.

Live, on the air: This Thursday, the Beta Lounge brings you the soul
of San Francisco on a bed of fresh greens - the Network Syndicate DJs
and special guest. Plus, this week: legendary Detroit DJ Derrick May's
fat set from the HotWired audio archives in Remix, and pixelated
trickery from Webmonkey's Wendy Owen in BetaVision.

Discover this: The Discovery Channel Online is looking for an
executive producer to help pitch, assign, and shape Web features, a
role they describe as "performance journalism." We've also found
positions at Assistive Technology (a company that specializes in tools
for the disabled) and at Maxis - in this week's Dream Jobs, made
possible by Dockers Khakis (tm).

Can anyone survive at the helm of the tumultuous little boat called
Sidewalk San Francisco? Another top exec walks the plank; Ned
Brainard, in Monday's Flux.

What do you mean you've never had a Silver Pineapple? Otherwise known
as El Floridita, this rum beverage is a Cuban classic that starts out
tart but ends with a chocolate finish. This week, in Cocktail.

Fact is greater than fiction. Really, it is. This week in Net Surf:
how to tie a tie; a "bow the size of a dump truck"; a heaping helping
of wheat-gluten chops; and more. Eclectic is the name, eclectic is the
game.

in writing fiction.

Forget Your Password?
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

We know, we know. You have 18 slightly different usernames and
passwords, and you just can't keep track. Don't let an eight-digit
password keep you from posting to Threads, chatting, tuning up your
browser, or changing your preferences. If you've forgotten yours, all
you have to do is reply to this message, change the subject line to
read PASSWORD (that's important), and include a one-sentence note with
your name, email address, and membername (if you remember it).

Or you can call our toll-free support services number: (888) 276 8777.
Please have your email address ready.
