If it's all too seldom that

people know when their fifteen

minutes are up, it's rarer

still when these same expired

starlings have a clue as

to what meager gimmickry

(quote unquote talent)

thrust them into the limelight.

one-trick pony on the Web, it's

fifty million dollar piece

of Netscape Communications,

dismiss this rant as so much

more hopelessly pedestrian "text"

Club Med brochure, an early

80's copy of Dragon

magazine, and a copy of

Hustler you've become

acquainted with one too many

times, never fear: Marc does

stay awake at night, and we

In what was obviously a

brilliant flash of self-aware

paranoid neurosis, Marc put

together his entire Web page

with one big HTML standards
