E Business Magazine (www.hp.com/Ebusiness), a monthly online publication sponsored by Hewlett-Packard launched in November of 1996. E Business was designed to cover cutting edge Internet stories, commerce on the web, emerging technologies, and interviews with key people in the industry.
Beginning with Issue #1, November 1996, I worked with the HTML for the departments and features, wrote department articles and features. With Issue #3, I began handling 90% of the HTML implementation for each issue, all file editing, proofing, and testing, and began writing 1-2 features per issue and an average of 5 deparment articles per issue.
With issue #6, I took on responsibility for the graphical look-and-feel, the monthly cover and colors, necessary CGI scripting, and all HTML coding and production in addition to regular writing responsibilties.
Content changes I initiated:
 E Reads department replaced both E Events and E Mail. E Reads joined the list of regular deparments in May, Issue #7, and houses both E Mail and an average of 3 book reviews per issue
WISAWIG (What I Saw and What I Got) column, a monthly hands on review of a software package/tool. Column appears each issue in the E Tools Deparmtment and includes a product overview (which I write) as well as two in-depth reviews, one by Toolgrrrl (me).
WISAWIG debuted in April, Issue #6 with a "rant on WYSIWYG tools." Software covered to date: Macromedia's Flash, HAHTsite, LivePix, Soap, PictureIt!, and Macromedia's Director 6 Multimedia Studio.
JavaAlert, a monthly column covering hot news in the Java world, debuted in April, Issue #6.
Site additions I initiated:
E Business Subscription List, monthly email, fully-hyperlinked, notification to announce the new issue. Subscription availability began in May, Issue #7. I was responsible for CGI scripting for subscription form (until the transition to a ColdFusion/database system in August), writing the monthly notification letter, and maintenance of the subscriber database.
"Pass-It-On" option for feature articles, allows readers to email stories to colleagues. Implemented in August, Issue #10. Responbible for CGI scripting.
Timeline: Monthly issues between November 1996 and November 1998 when publication ceased.

attitude adjustment: the rules of the bazaar
HP's Mobile E-Services Bazaar has proven that an unusual and collaborative - maybe even bizarre - approach to defining, developing, and deploying e-services can and does work. Indeed, with its small global team, it is hard to believe the number of successes rolling out of the bazaar - and rolling they are. With a speed uncommon and unexpected in many large corporations, the Bazaar crafts and polishes e-services bundles culled from companies around the world - big and small.
