- Old Chicago. Wonderful exhibit. Via Coudal Partners.In 1975 the worlds first totally enclosed theme park opened in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook Illinois. Old Chicago was something completely new, an amusement park under a huge roof with a mall around it so you could ride the coasters and rides all year round no matter what the weather was outside. |

Not much I want to see there, except an Escher exhibit...maybe I can do some shopping on Saturday, and we're going to see a movie (Identity) Saturday night. I'm going to take some books with me, maybe I van catch up on some reading. There are a lot of books I still need to read. |

- !Could it be due to the fact that the item is in my “stories” folder, and not the main blog page, that the funny piece I cobbled putting a BloggerCon spin on the Ape Escape Caper got so few reads over the past couple of days? Could I write a longer sentence, and qualify for the 2003 Joseph Conrad Award? Maybe I should wear a gorilla suit when I get to BloggerCon this weekend. When people ask why, I could hand them a card with the exact URL of the gorilla story. But it does drive me a little nuts that twice I post what seems like good stuff, and both times the hits are low! |

entry (Oct 02 2003 09:03 GMT) - This is the second time this sort of thing has occurred here on the blog. An entry posted on June 29th, Link-aDink-aDoo just didn’t get a lot of reads. I thought it was one of the better entries, funny, timely, topical, a little creative. It didn’t get much in the links or mentions departments, and so it now just lingers in the ether. The referrer page never showed much play on that entry. |

- Then on Monday I posted the Going Ape For BloggerCon! entry. I cross-posted it to the BloggerCon Discussion Group and the Yahoo BloggerCon List , and even sent an e-mail about it to a bunch of people. A few of the people on the e-mail list sent return notes hoping to meet at BloggerCon. But the referrer logs show just one link (thanks, Elaine! |

Dave Winer (Oct 02 2003 09:03 GMT) - Dave Winer has written an essay, The Rule of Links as part of the agenda-setting, idea-generating process, to promote and provoke think-pieces, talking points, hot topics, etc., for BloggerCon. This is one of many essays, all of which can be found here. |

Web (Oct 02 2003 09:03 GMT) - One of the fundamental ideas of the Web is the link. For example, in the previous sentence I linked to the page on the W3C web site that explains what a link is. I did it because I wanted to make it easier for you, a reader, to find out more about links. If you already know what a link is, fine. If you don't care to know more about links, that's fine too. |

a message (Oct 02 2003 09:03 GMT) - Blogger Bill Brandon posted a message with regard to linking and ”Elements of Style” for blogs. He starts off with the statement, “Personally, I see no reason to burden weblog writers at large with a style manual.” Then comes a bullet point: “We seem to be working out a commonly-accepted notion of etiquette for linking. I prefer to use the permalink at the top and the main index at the bottom when quoting, but I am by no means consistent. |

- Here's our first subscription launch at MarketingWonk: you can now get a neat PDF report every month to recap all that happened in the Internet marketing and advertising space. Nice if you travel a lot, if you're so busy that you can't keep up with our daily publications, of if Internet marketing is just part of what you do. Also, it might be worthwhile to subscribe that top exec you're trying to educate on the value of putting more Internet into your mix. We have more online services coming down the road, but I'm glad to see this one out of the door. |
