What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2001
Heather Armstrong's personal blog, first about work and life and later mostly about parenting, one of the best-known US blogs of the 2000s.
She started it in early 2001 and lost her web design job the next year when colleagues found it; 'dooced' came to mean fired over your website. It peaked near 8.5 million monthly readers and won a Weblog Awards lifetime prize in 2008.
In 2001: Started early this year, while Armstrong was a web designer and graphic artist at a dot-com start-up.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
