Publications
In 1990, my study of document processing software was published as the Text Management Systems volume in the James Martin Productivity Series. I was a member of the Board of Editors of IEEE Internet Computing during its startup phase in 1997, and wrote three columns for Microsoft's Internet Magazine in 1997-98 before it ceased publication. I am quoted in Creating Internet Entertainment (John Wiley & Sons, 1996), and am listed in the acknowledgments of Intellectual Capital: The New Wealth of Organizations by Thomas A. Stewart of Fortune magazine (Doubleday, 1997).An extensive interview appears in Intranets: What's the Bottom Line? (Prentice Hall, 1997), and an article I wrote for Information Week in 1994 was reprinted in The 21st Century Intranet (Prentice Hall, 1998). My article, "Fear and Loathing on the Web" was published in the July 9 1998 edition of The Industry Standard.
In December 1997 my webzine, Entropy Gradient Reversals, was included in the Rocky Mountain News lineup of the top 100 web sites in Colorado. EGR is explicitly listed on Yahoo and Excite directories and has received favorable mention in publications such as Release 1.0, Feed, Salon, The San Francisco Gate, Netsurfer Digest, Larry Chase's Web Digest for Marketers, The Web Magazine, and Microsoft's Internet Magazine. EGR was selected as Cool Tool of the Day on July 21 1998; the same review was republished on Click-Z's Who's Marketing Online as: "EGR: Required Reading for the New Economy." An audio-format edition of EGR is offered by Audible, Inc.
