Email Survival Guide
interactive news
Fifty years from now, we may look back on this early period in the Internet Age in the same way we look back at the Pilgrims landing in Plymouth — explorers in a whole new world. We still have much to learn and sort out, despite the fact that already the internet has become all pervasive for most of us.
One aspect of the Net that we still have to sort out is our use of email. Given that we probably use it for electronic communication the most, we’ve come to take it for granted without thinking too much about protecting what is really a historical record of our lives.
If you think about how you use email in your daily life, you might begin to see how much information it rather easily and yet passively stores about you. Is this something you'd rather not lose? Even if you don’t care, you do need to protect the online identity that your email address gives you.
For the purposes of protecting both, here are some basic tips to ensure that you can properly manage and archive your email communications.
Randy Garbin: interactive director, diner maven
design people
It’s not every design studio that has a nationally recognized expert in something. Randy Garbin, our interactive director, not only knows web development, he knows diners.
In fact, Randy Garbin has waxed poetically about the great American diner to various exalted media outlets such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, USA Today, the Boston Globe, and his own publication, Roadside Magazine.
Randy started Roadside back in 1990, not long after he bought his first Macintosh. The new machine allowed him to combine his training in graphic design and his passion for food, travel, and history. He stirred all these ingredients at the counter of Henry’s Diner in Boston, Massachusetts, and dreamed up his free quarterly publication devoted to the great American diner. The first issue, dropped on the counters in about a dozen diners in Massachusetts and Connecticut, grew to a regionally-distributed exploration of America’s back roads and main streets that at one time had over 20,000 subscribers.
Various facets of life become vehicles for liberating the soul.

If you’re a fan of nostalgic diners and all things Americana, then you’ll enjoy a look at the paintings and photographs of John Baeder. Like art270’s Randy Garbin, John fell in love with this unique part of America’s culture and went on to learn lots more about the genre than just the best stops for a burger and fries.
