Over the last week my vacation responder read:

Hello! I’m currently in the forest and away from my computer. I’ll be slower to respond but will get back to you as soon as possible.

A client emailed and wrote:

Bumping this up! Hope the forest is good to you.

I do think the forest was good to me.

I don't have many reflections on the forest at this moment. It might have been more of a feeling trip instead of a word trip.

Today the Internet Phone Book arrived at XP from Athens. At first it felt strange to hold it and page through it. A little overwhelming after a year of looking at it on a screen. I brought it home and started updating the dial-a-site website. Using it alongside the book feels nice. A book and a computer needing each other. It makes sense for some reason. A very direct way of experiencing the web. Like writing HTML and watching it appear in your browser like magic.

Holding the phone book for the first time.

I'm grateful to everyone who contributed their time, energy, and websites to the book. Grateful to Kristoffer and Ana. Grateful to Are.na and the sponsors for believing in the project from the beginning.
