Spellbinding Site of the Year

NetMagick Awards named their Spellbinding Site of the Year for 2000, The Beeline! Writing for the regular staff and year-end judges, program coordinator Ellen Wilson announced: "The Beeline beautifully defines the word 'resource!' with literally thousands of pages of information for the Netizen. Years in the making, we cannot even begin to fathom the hours spent creating and maintaining The Beeline. What we can do, humbly, is honor it once more.

"Honored with a Gold Award of Excellence from The Keep at 3moons Castle, then a Master of Magick, then a Once in a Blue Moon AND a Platinum Master of Awards ... *phew!* ... The Beeline now takes it's final bows at NetMagick with the receipt of the Spellbinding Site of the Year 2000! Congratulations to Míc Miller, the creator extraordinare of The Beeline! The staff at NetMagick couldn't 'bee' happier!"

Míc's response? After picking himself up off the floor: "Not since I received my first Web award can I recall when opening my Inbox brought me so much joy! Thank you all so very, VERY much for electing The Beeline as NetMagick's Spellbinding Site of the Year for 2000. I am one humble person today knowing full well the competition -- not just from the other Once in a Blue Moon Award winners, but also from the multitude of most-worthy Master of Magick Award winners. Thank you, all! You have given me something I will never forget for as long as I live."

Hope is where
the Hive is

Why did the chicken cross the road? Obviously she felt she had to. Why else would she risk bee-coming road kill?

Today, millions of folks and businesses are crossing over from the Industrial Side to the Information Side.

You see, unlike the chicken, they've figured out that not crossing the Road is also a way to bee-come road kill.

Sure, crossing into a new frontier is scary. It's scary for anyone that's sane! And with the speeds of change running along this Superhighway, one would have to bee certified as "nuts" not to bee scared.

And while it's our nature to resist change, to stay comfortable, and to not exert ourselves on matters we can't visualize well enough, this is not a good time to sit and watch.

There will bee those who cross over (or try). There will bee those who get on the Road and bee-come part of the Movement. Then there will bee those who remain where they are bee-cause they can't do it alone.

Regardless of what group you fall into, we Bees are here to help you. That's part of our mission, to help you cross the Road or find the Slipstream.

This is not only hopeful news, it's how even a chicken can cross the Road safely... or turn into a Roadrunner! Write the Bees if you need assistance.

Bees and Hives

If you know anything about bees, you know they are very careful about what gets into their hive. If something doesn't smell right, they get rid of it -- fast! We Bees are only interested in the good and great NETctar. When we find it (or it presents itself), we gladly make a place for it in our home, the Beehive.

Unlike other places on the Internet, our Beehive is a friendly, safe, and secure environment. There's a lot of junk out there on the Web and some of it can bee pretty dirty. We Bees work hard to maintain a great Hive. Every site title listed in the Beehive has been reviewed bee-fore bee-ing accepted. If your site title is in the Hive, feel proud. Most don't get in!

Of course, something good can get into the Hive and then change into something bad. If you find anything that violates our terms and conditions, please tell us. It is the reason we Bees have stingers. ;-)
