What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2006

A free tool that turned a list of ISBNs into a sorted bibliography, in MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian, BibTeX or Wikipedia citation format.

It pulled book details from the Library of Congress, Amazon and ISBNdb, and took 10 or 13 digit numbers. Each result got a temporary link that deleted itself after about a month.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
