   On My End
   Matt Alberts weekly@webcom.com

          Welcome to the first February issue of the Weekly Bookmark. In
          the course of the next couple of weeks, you will begin to see
          some changes here at the Weekly Bookmark. Thom Byxbe and
          Knowledge Technologies, Inc. will begin to assist me in
          redisigning the Weekly Bookmark and how it is distributed.
          Don't fret if you see a couple of test messages in your
          mailbox, it's just Thom testing the server. Also, the changes
          will not affect the content of the Weekly Bookmark. It will
          only improve the outward appearance.

          So, for now, enjoy this early edition and hang on to your
          seats.

        Foreign Languages for Travelers
                After you have scoped out your next trip via the OnLine
                Fodor's, you may discover you need to bone up on the
                language of that soon to be visited land. No problem.
                When you visit Foreign Languages for Travelers, you will
                click on the flag of the nation and come into immediate
                contact with important language lessons so you don't
                starve. Great site to visit even if you aren't travelling
                and even better for teachers who wish to introduce their
                students to the tongues of the world in a practical way.

                signed and unsigned, interactive interviews with
                musicians and reports from music festivals. Our popular
                music webchat, From the Hip, is busy most hours with
                people from all around the world.

                We feature artwork from rock n' roll related artists and
                live concert footage from various videographers. We are
                working in conjunction with the Save the Earth Foundation
                as part of their rock memorabilia auction to bring
                interviews with Santana, Jeff Beck and Robert Cray to the
                Web. These interviews, as well as much of our featured
                content, make use of RealAudio technology.

                Our Jerry Garcia Tribute site was NCSA's Pick of the
                Week, both it and RockWeb as a whole, received Point
                Communications Top 5% of the Web Honors, and a Webbie for
                our efforts! The goal of our site as a whole is to allow
                the best in people to come through the web to affect
                people with their words, art and music. I think we have
                done that and that people appreciate it; please come by
                and experience it for yourself. We welcome your comments
                if you visit.
