WHAT'S NEW?
Free Google Software Kicks Aps
When someone buys something for $1.8 billion and then gives it to you free, there
are only two logical questions: (1) What’s the catch? and (2) Where can I get
it? We got it. We’re loving it. And we’re still trying to find the downside. We
are getting paid absolutely nothing to suggest that you try this one for yourself.

FEATURED WEB SITE
The biggest event in Portsmouth history is back. One of the world’s bloodiest conflicts stopped dead here a century ago. Now a Portsmouth lawyer and many others are asking – why can’t it happen here again? Was the Treaty of Portsmouth a fluke, or does this event embody a formula that might work in an age of renewed war?

What does Labor Day mean to you? Is it hot dogs and swimming and shopping for
school supplies? The history of that holiday goes deeply into what working in
America is really about.

SITE OF THE WEEK GordonCarlisle.com
Each time a great artist gets a great web site an angel earns its wings. Too many top talents look like chopped liver online. Or the artist entrusts his or her reputation to some gallery that also has a web site glued together with Scotch tape. Not here. This site works.

The hardest job in web design is reaching many audiences while working for many
bosses. I’d rather battle a multi-headed Hydra than manage the University of New
Hampshire web site.

SITE OF THE WEEK
Those of us who live in the three northern New England states cannot imagine
how anyone lives elsewhere. Now New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont have their own lifestyle
e-zine. It's all about homes, gardening, books -- but with black flies and mountain
lions thrown in.

What exactly makes a web site "classy" I cannot say. But I know classy when I
see it, and it’s rare on the blinking, spinning, information carnival that we
call the Web. So just go see the Sean Tracey Associates (STA) site and you will
know.

SITE OF THE WEEK PaulWentworthHouse.org
If ever a house deserved a web site -- it’s this one. Back in 2001 we learned that a small band of preservationists in Rollinsford, New Hampshire desperately wanted to save the town’s oldest house from destruction. There was only one glitch. The house was in Massachusetts.

Vinci Code" has sold 6.5 million copies to date.

The Web is a pretty funny place if you know where to look. This week marked the
kick-off of a number of national comic sites. We check them out and toss in some
funny local sites for good measure.

Don’t blame Janet Jackson. Blame us. TV was going to hell in a hand-basket long
before Janet acted like a total boob in front of 100 million boob-tube viewers
last month.

I have been migrated. Grammatically, that is impossible, but the Internet makes
a mockery of correct English. This week, for the first time in eight years online,
my web site was moved from one host server to another.

Cleve Horton led the Internet on a mighty chase. Like the last stray maverick
in a great herd, he managed to elude the hard driving webmasters, spurning even
those who promised to build him a web site for free.

To the victor goes the web site. Whether you are the President or the Governor,
the official news is always in your favor. NH's state site has lots of data if
you dig deep and lots of gubernatorial PR if you don't. Too bad some of the best
material (formerly WEBSTER) seems to be missing.

For the first time in history, the web is a powerful force in the presidential
elections. Howard Dean gets credit for making the Web matter. Now everybody in
the race is online. The better the web site, it seems, the better the candidates
chances.

Excuse me. Having just read Eric Schlosser’s book Fast Food Nation, I’m a little off my feed this week. Fast food, Schlosser says, is destroying
us, not just in body, but in soul, and I’m inclined to agree. If the violent film
industry and the raging economy and the terrorists don’t get us, the burgers will.

WE don't know skiing, but we do know web sites. When it comes to marketing winter
sports online, the state of NH has its act together. That makes sense since a
lot of money is one the line and modern skiiers make up their minds at the very
last hairy minute.

Two dogs, a musical instrument and a former police officer. It all adds up toe
one of the oddest new companies in the Seacoast.
