Apparently without telling almost anybody here in town, a national “Web Design World” conference was held in Seattle last week. Yes, there are still organizations that hire web designers and even pay to send them to out-of-town conferences. Many of these organizations, I learned from some gals ‘n’ guys who’d been to the conference, are governmental agencies, or companies making sites under contract to governmental agencies. And from what I’ve seen of bureaucrats’ attempts to put important citizen/consumer info online, these outfits can sure use the advice.

PRINT-OUTS: The new print MISC magazine is a hit. Many of the 125 outlets we dropped it off at last week are already out. You really oughta consider taking out a subscription.
