Here's a list of some things. You can get some
of this stuff once by asking. You can get on a
mailing list for updates, additions, future stuff,
etc, by asking. That's two things. One is just
asking for some stuff. Two is asking to get on one
of my mailing lists for stuff. Ok, get ready!
Here's information about some "stuff":
1) art stuff, for instance, the Electronic Art &
Culture Postcard. I send this out about once a
month to my EAACP mailing list. You can get it once
by asking, and regularly by asking to get on my
mailing list for it. There's more art stuff,
but you have to ask.
2) PC software/databases. I compile databases and
wrap them in software. Information about an ftp
site, and how to get copies from that site, are
available on request.
3) The Friedrichshof Chronicles. This is a sort of
net.literature project of mine. It is some writing
done while living on an artists commune some years
ago. Contains "adult" material. You have to very
explicitely ask for a sample of this. Then you have
to very explicitely ask to get on the mailing list
for future chapters. The Friedrichshof and
Cambridge Chronicles are also available on an anony-
mous ftp site--so you can read them anonymously. I
will send you just ftp instructions if you ask.
4) The Cambridge Chronicles. Like a diary. Like
The Friedrichshof Chronicles, but written here in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, location of two of the
world's most opinionated zip codes. You gotta ask.
5) net stuff. I find net related stuff on the
Internet and save it. Do you know about Gilder,
superdistribution, etc? No? Need I say more?
6) essays. I write essays from time to time.
No telling what the next one will be about. Ask
to get on my essay mailing list and you will get
a copy of each one as it comes off the assembly
line in my brain.
7) buzz. A file of stuff written by me to people
or lists on the net. So I'm an egomaniac and think
every word from my mouth is important! So you don't
have to ask for it! And I won't send it! Phhhhttt!
8) books. Some books "written and/or compiled"
by me. Some very peculiar stuff. Some inventions.
Some concepts--emphasis on the CON, as I tell people.
Please feel free to copy this file and send it to
anyone (but not a mailing list or news group, please)
you think might be interested.
If you are interested in any of the things on this
list, then send me mail and ask for something. If
you are suspicious, and wonder just who the heck I
am, then you can try the finger command:
finger rgardner@charon.mit.edu
Otherwise, send your email requests to:
