Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ For a start, I think that the Frick has a good balance between function and beauty. You might want to check it out, and then, if possible, see if there = is anything better. http://www.frick.org/index.htm Kent Boese kboese=40sil.si.edu =3E=3E=3E Joan Benedetti =3CBenedetti4=40aol.com=3E 02/22 1:06 PM =3E=3E=3E ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Colleagues: At a dinner party the other night an old friend who is a movie writer and director (and in an earlier life a graphic designer) and who is relatively = new to the web was lamenting the lack of what he called =22beautiful web = sites.=22 He went on to explain that he meant really aesthetically beautiful, not just charming or intellectually delightful. He said that as someone with a = special interest in graphic (and moving picture) design, he was very disappointed in the visual aspects of the web. I had to admit that I have also not had a really memorable cyber aesthetic experience--but I am also relatively new to it. I am wondering if any of you have found sites that have delighted you visually--in addition to or in spite of their functionality? I know that there is an organization of cyber artists (and even, I think, a cyber art festival?), but I (and my friend) were thinking more about functional sites. Seems like this is something ARLIS/NA might even want to encourage in the = form of a sort of cyber-Wittenborn-award? Especially if the site dealt with art information. I wish I could nominate even one to get the ball rolling on this, but I = can't. Maybe Lois Swan Jones could suggest a few. . . . Joan Benedetti benedetti4=40aol.com
