What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2000
A webcomic by the Canadians Nitrozac and Snaggy (Liza Schmalcel and Bruce Evans), published three times a week, mostly about technology and Apple.
O'Reilly published a collection, The Best of the Joy of Tech, in 2003, with an introduction by David Pogue and a foreword by Steve Wozniak.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2000 page.
