how to be a net.artist: lesson one: the name game
is your name mark? if so you are 10 times more likely to become a net.artist
than someone named vuk or netochka. look at all these net.artists named
mark:
mark amerika, mark tribe, mark napier, mark voge, marc garrett, mark dagget,
mark river and marc lafia, just to name a sampling. that's amazing!
if your name isn't mark consider including 'mark
The easiest solution is of course to skip the domain name altogether and use
your ip number.

Hi Abraham,
I must say I am chuffed that you have taken it upon yourself to place my
name amongst well known and x-college trained, and educated net.artists;
i'll save this document for my children to see (if I ever have any that is).
And all those mark's - you've got a point. Sheesh, it makes me feel as if I
shouild change my name.
