I'm in a small-ish town, too!
Well, OK, so the page is syndicated (KidNews), but still. . .
From the Danville, IL Commercial-News:
Pop-ular site bursting with fun
When you open a package, do you think the best part is the bubble wrap, not it's contents? Do you find it impossible to stop after popping one or two plastic bubbles? If you must pop till you drop, stop by the World's Best Bubble Wrap Homepage (www.fathom.org/opalcat/bubblewrap.html).

Cool, huh? I about fell out of my chair when I read it.

Tech, I quoted the WHOLE article. Like I said, my town's a bit on the small-is side. I found it in the archives of the Tribune, but you have to pay to read it all. Demo, that's what I was thinking. What if some of those kids found there way over HERE?!?!?!

Wait a minute... just the other day, a friend of mine showed me the Virtual Bubble Wrap. I didn't look at the URL, but I should tell her that I know the person that made it.

Yeah, she was in mine not too long ago. I posted that, but I don't think she saw it.

I wish *I* got all the attention that part of my site gets. It's been in so many newspapers and radio shows I've lost track. It's also been in Health & Fitness magazine (??) and Redbook and Shift, and Entertainment Weekly. Reuters did an article on it once. They even featured it in "What's Online" on CNN Headline News once. Not that they usually mention ME, mind you...

I'd love to get a copy of that if you have it... email me.
