In August 1999, I was blogging aboutLogo (large, bold capital "J")

  • Conservation efforts at Poohsticks Bridge
  • A Penmanship camp in Philadelphia
  • Recovering the only known copy of a lost work by the Greek mathematician Archimedes (erased by a 10th-century monk who scraped off the writing to reuse the parchment)
  • Fourth-graders using e-books at Resurrection Catholic School in Dayton, Ohio
  • Noted bibliophile Sven Birkerts having a disappointing encounter with ebooks
