We do not recommend using the new version of Netscape to view work in this issue. Netscape 6 does not read DHTML, rendering any works coded before 11/10/2000 which used DHTML unreadable. This issue of Riding the Meridian is dedicated to the creative vitality of Alaric Sumner. Alaric had planned to join our staff permanently starting with this issue, and it would be fair to say that his enthusiasms and artistic sensibilities continue to inform these pages. Some of Alaric's closest friends and associates have provided works dedicated to him, and Lawrence Upton, Sumner's literary executor, has given us two previously unpublished works.   A survey of web work created by men curated by Marjorie Coverley Luesebrink with Jennifer Ley. Commentary by Jay David Bolter and Stephanie Strickland. |

This is what we choose to call Lit [art] ure.
