1.  Oh  say,  can  you  see?  By  the  dawn's  early  light!  No, it isn't  the
fight  for  independence,  but instead,  an all-new  iCE  Pack  coming  to  you
just  in  time  for your Independence  day  celebration!  And  if you  live  in
Canada,    we   heard   that   gay   pride   day   was   last   week,    kudos.

2.  A  fellah  by  the  name  of  Tim Lewis wandered into our commons recently,
deciding  that,   he  too,  had  the  desire  to   create  incredible  art  and
associate  with  the  best  in  digital  art.  We couldn't agree with him more.

3.   As  we  announced  last  month,  the  new  iCE  website  has  finally gone
online  amidst  a  bunch  of  hooplah  and one of the more interesting was that
www.ice.org  was  posted  to  the  almighty  Slashdot.org,  the  news  site for
geeks.   As   many  people  know,   this  will  cause  the  "slashdot"  effect,
attempting   to   cripple  servers  with  thousands  of  simultaneous  viewers.
Luckily,  our  systems  held  up  great under the load and the web server never
exceeded a load of 1!

4.   In  other  recent  website-related  news,  Ansiconv  aka  Artview  1.7 was
released  fixing  a  small  command  line parameter bug that prevented many DOS
users  from  using  the  program  non-interactively.  This  has been fixed  and
the  new  version  has  been  posted  to  http://artview.ice.org.  We  will  be
compiling   a   DOS   version   for   you   gimps   as   soon    as   possible.

5.  We  would  like  to  congratulate  Anarchy and Aphid Twix on the release of
the  Nintendo  64  game  they  have  been  laboring on for a long time.  It's a
racing  game  called  World  Championship  Driver, from Boss Studios.  Check it
out,  it's  a  fantastic  racing  game, if you're into that sort of thing  like
Mongi is into jello.

6.  Did  we  mention  that  in  June  alone,  our web site served more than 2.3
million   hits?   You'll  be  hard-pressed  to  find  another  art   group  who
can  offer  the  hirez  AND  lowres  artists  as  much  exposure as we can!  If
you're  interested  in  joining  iCE,  simply  visit  our  website  or  send an
email to apply@ice.org!

7.  You  know mellons are just like pears, except they're completely different.

8.   Update  on the  Jamie  McCarter  situation:  APS Technology has sent  us a
pre-release  of their  Summer  catalog!   Jamie's  art  can  be  found  on  the
cover,  the  first page  of  the  catalog,  and  another page towards the back!
Congrats again Jamie on a job well done!

9.   Women's   world   cup,   broadcasting   cellular    phone   conversations,
government-sponsored  co-ops,  mysterious  H:  drive  formats,  and  love  that
you just can't get enough of!

Sinned Soul!
