  http://www.remash.com/links_gallery.html  Not a gallery but a website linked to several Seattle-area galleries, this is a handy place to find out what is happening at Davidson, Ester Claypool, Carolyn Staley, Foster White, Grover Thurston, Henry, Seders, Travers. Winston Wachter, and Woodside Braseth. Several listed galleries have links that will take you to their inventory, including prints on the secondary market from private collectors by renown Northwest artists that have rarely, if ever, been seen. Note: some are downloadable. Prices generally not given. You can email them  to ask, but be prepared for a sticker shock. 

http://www.gregkucera.com/index2.htm Greg specializes in Morris Graves and has some  nice old stuff that has just come to light, including some marginalia. All is expensive, though.

http://www.artresources.com/  Lisa Harris Gallery has some good upand-coming, as well as established artists; many of their pictures are smallish and not awfully expensive. She shares this site with other small galleries in the area. 

WWW.tri-dee.com A classy art-supply store that supports local artists, gives competitive discounts on a range of art supplies, especially easels, and is family-run in this picturesque small town, Mt. Vernon, serving the local community and also an extensive web audience. Nice folks to deal with.

http://www.newyorker.com/ The New Yorker is probably the premier intellectual journal and Dad's perennial gift to every college graduate. In spite of the totally NYC-oriented front pages, the middle of the mag often deals with political, economic, and mass communications matters from around the world. Ah, but the back pages! They contain the best writers in America, and their articles on the arts, theater, books, movies, and TV are unsurpassed. My son gives me an annual subscription, on the heels of renewing his own (a reverse of the situation cited above), but the online edition arrives days before my print copy. So I cheat a little.  The purely literary mags don't have writing this good and this is why most of America doesn't read them. No pictures, though, and this makes reading an effort without respite, especially in a recent issue on Richard Avedon.

http://www.theatlantic.com/  "The smartest magazine on the rack, it bills itself." Well, maybe. The Atlantic is both an online version of its hardcopy magazine, with all its articles and features in place,  and a special edition, spouting  new material. Further it is an archive of material going back to the Nineteenth Century, when the magazine was the leading intellectual journal of the country. These articles can be found, read, and copied--with a few caveats: "For a small fee you can now access more than a century of Atlantic Monthly articles in our online archive. The archive includes articles from 1857 to the present; they can be viewed for the following prices. Articles from January, 1964 - September, 1992, are not available due to copyright restrictions," they tell us.

Well, that's not bad for free, but could be better. Articles and fiction from 1992 to present are on line and can be read. These included short stories by Vladimir Nabokov, John Updike, Paul Theroux, Jane Smiley, and Eudora Welty, the last named a real favorite of the editors, judging by how many of hers are included. There is also an internal site, Unbound Fiction, which seems to be fiction not published in the paper edition: http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/fiction/webfiction.htm Give it a try, if you have nothing better to do. The quality is high and the price is right.

See especially: Vladimir Nabokov, "Father's Butterflies" (April 2000)
"The last important unpublished fiction by Nabokov." Translated from the Russian by Nabokov's son, Dmitri.

Vladimir Nabokov, "Cloud, Castle, Lake" (June 1941) and "The Aurelian" (November 1941)

http://slate.msn.com/ Owned and backed my Microsoft, Slate couldn't  have had a more auspicious beginning. It was free and one of the first online magazines; what is more, it professed a high intellectuality--something between The Atlantic and The Nation. Michael Kinsley was hired as editor and Bill Gates pretty much gave him carte blanch. Its circulation grew. It tended to indulge itself, as m any magazines do, and people started to drift away. It's columns were, well, not all that interesting. Perhaps it is, when you cost nothing, nobody much values you.

Since it was a liability, not an asset, and was costing the world's richest man, if not the world's second richest company, a lot of money, they decided to charge its readers. This was a mistake of high magnitude. Its readership shrunk to practically nothing. Kinsley resigned; one never knows quite why, and the answers to the question are evasive. Nobody doing well will look for other challenges, though this is often the reason given for departures at MS. A new editor was hired this summer--Cyrus Krohn. He'd been with the company since 1996 and had held many offices, including managing editor. Scott Moore, publisher, now manages MSNBC.com as well.

For its readership to return and the site to get more and repeated hits, Slate needs to work hard on being interesting. I know, I know; this is hard to do. But if it emulates hardcopy magazines like People, as Esquire did, it may continue to lack substance and be bor-ing. Kinsley still writes for Slate and this is probably his best role and how he can help the magazine most. He and The New Yorker's Editor David Remmick provide two keenly analytical minds of the liberal persuasion. We need them badly, these difficult days, living under the shadow of war.

http://www.wired.com/wired/current.html This is the website for the magazine version of Wired.com, which makes for a nice homepage for nerds. They advertise themselves as "the magazine that delivers the intelligence I need about the changing world around me for only $10." Be that as it may, it seems to be available free online, as so many magazines are today. However, people seem unable to read for long if text is not printed on a paper page. See  http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.07/  for an example of the tech-oriented stories they run--Michael Dell, new players in the computer markets, the NIVIDA exec who is going to make Intel and the CPU obsolete, etc.

http://www.ralphmag.org/index.html   Ralph is  an acronym for Review of Arts, Literature, Philosophy, and the  Humanities. It is edited by a man (?) who calls himself Lolita Lark and, at other times, Wendy Pickle. It has existed for over 30 years and used to be a print journal; now it is exclusively online. Contains poetry (recently Brodsky, Charles Krafft), book reviews, critical articles on the scene, art shows visited, and writing on various eccentric  and esoteric subjects. Used to be called, The Fessenden Review, but has lost its sponsor and funding through attrition. Well worth a regular visit.

Also exists in print format called The Folio, we've learned. About this the editors (same bunch, evidently) say: 

We try to put out eight or nine issues of "The Folio" every a year --- but current subscriptions are only paying for half of what it costs to print it and mail it out.

http://www.ahapoetry.com/haiku.htm Jane Reichold established this website for people seriously interested in writing haiku--which in the West has taken on many bastardized forms. The site is comprehensive and full of all sorts of interesting information for those interested in a certain kind of poetry.

http://www.antiquesatoz.com/artatoz/krafft/mystic.htm Website for Charlie Krafft's Mystic Sons of Morris Graves. His personal website is: http://www.antiquesatoz.com/artatoz/krafft/index.htm  and some of his old paintings, poems, and recent porcelain collectors plates may be found there, and his poems at http://www.antiquesatoz.com/artatoz/krafft/krafpoem.htm
