The Weekly Bookmark December 20, 1995 - Vol 1, No. 17 http://www.webcom.com/weekly/thisweek.html __________________________________________________________ Table of Contents On My End - A Note From Matt. Out There - Places to Visit. Weekly Bookmark Information - Sub/UnSub, etc.. Meet The Staff - Contact Info. __________________________________________________________ On My End Matt Alberts Oooooo.. We're late this week. If you read the editorial in the last issue, you will understand. This week, I will take a moment to answer one of the frequently asked questions we have been receiving lately. Q: I read the article last week which mentioned sites on the Web, but the URLs weren't there. Could you mail these to me? A: If you would like to view these pages, simply load up the URL given at the top of each Weekly Bookmark. This will always be: http://www.webcom.com/weekly/thisweek.html or http://www.webcom.com/weekly/weekend.html. There you will see the same issue I send to you in email, but with links to all of the sites that you are reading about. I will not be sending the Weekly Bookmakrk out in any other form than I do already. That would drive up the costs of production and force me to allow advertising (which I would rather die than do) or stop publishing. On a similar note to this, STOP sending all of the commercial submissions. I will not post these and they simply get tossed in my trash can. This is supposed to highlight the good sites on the web, not commercialized waste. I do not want to purchase real estate in Canada or find out all of the jucy 900 number sex lines. If you agree with this policy, send email to weekly-ads@webcom.com. Thank you and enjoy another Weekly Bookmark. __________________________________________________________ Out There Art and Literature MeatMation Animated entirely with meat products.

As the nation's population becomes increasingly urban -- about 75 percent according to the U.S. Census Bureau, folks may not have grown up knowing certain things about nature, such as how to turn kitchen and yard waste into valuable compost for the landscape. Texas A&M University -- through its research, Extension Service and teaching efforts -- has volumes of information that can help but the challenge has been finding new ways to deliver the information to the changing population. Taking the city to the Web, in the form of AGropolis, is helping meet that goal. Check out the visitor's center, food mart, garden, animal pasture, farm, family home, pest control company, nature trail and A&M's Agriculture Program building.
