READY, AIM, DRAW!
-------------------
Would you like to be part of an art exhibition? Here's a chance to show
off your artistic skills to the world, and have your drawing printed
in a book of 500,000 human figures, published to mark the world
population reaching 6 billion.
Half a million drawings of people will be collected from the Internet.
These 500,000 drawings will be compiled in a book of which 12,000
copies will be produced - making 6 billion drawings to be shown together
at an international YouDraw exhibition.
Using a simple palette, you can use your mouse to create a black & white
drawing. (You'll need Java enabled in your browser to do this.) It's
a bit tough to create a real work of art like this, but some of the ones
I viewed were quite good. When you're done, just click a button and
your drawing is added to the collection.
It's a fun project for kids or adults, and I'm a big fan of collaborative
efforts like this. To try your hand at online art, visit here:

SELL YOUR BRAIN
-----------------
FatBrain is an online bookstore that sells geeky stuff. They specialize
in books, training materials and print-on-demand documentation for
business, finance, math, science and technology experts. But recently
they've added a novel twist to their site, something they call eMatter.
What is eMatter? Simpy put, it's a way for you to sell your smarts.
Just upload your research notes, term papers, tutorials, white papers,
short stories or poems to the site, slap a price on it, and you can sell
it online at Fatbrain.com. They'll even send you a a free eMatter
T-shirt (while supplies last) for uploading your eMatter.
And to celebrate the grand unveiling of eMatter, they're offering a
discount of $15 off any FatBrain order totaling $25 or more, through
October 29th. We have no association with FatBrain, I'm just passing
along the news. To learn about eMatter or get the $15 discount, see

FROM THE "SOMEBODY HAS TO WIN" DEPARTMENT
-------------------------------------------
The CBS television network had a problem. How could they launch a new
Web portal from scratch, compete with Yahoo, Excite and other big names,
and still attract millions of visitors? They decided to take the direct
approach and give away huge piles of money.
Yes, CBS is really giving away $25 million dollars. No, there really
isn't a catch. Just visit their new website and enter for a chance to
win $10,000 a day, $1 million a month or $10 million on April 17, 2000.
To read all about it, go here:
http://www.iWon.com
The small print says this sweepstakes is for US residents only. If any
one knows of a similar offer for other countries, let me know and I'll
print 'em here. Oh, and if you win that $10 million prize, don't
forget - you heard it here first. :-)
That's all for now, see you next time! --Bob Rankin
