Add your own praise - or crash my ego with merciless criticism - right here. Red and May featured in an article by Sarit Perkol in Maariv, The Land of Iz's most widely read paper whose name doesn't include the letter |

"...I highly recommend The Red Fish Page to you. It has taken the "diary" format and tweaked it to wonderful effect. It is witty, fresh, and well-designed; it creatively uses one of the WWW's first genres to provide great entertainment. Published from Israel, Red's site is a joy to visit simply because of the way it plays with our expectations. It claims to be a journal, then explains and demonstrates why it's -- well, ehm, actually not quite a journal. Good humor. "Red" and "May" make quite a tag-team." "Only a monthly update, but the monthly update is like a new website. hyperlinked. dynamic. It's like picking someone's brains. Funny, insightful, imaginative. Nice roller coaster ride. The contrast of the plain black text to his crimson scribbles in the margins keeps the synapses firing. Great look. Great content. Great site. I only wish he could do it more than monthly." "Pretty amazing site you have there! I'm impressed. Any chance
for Hebrew? You could do a real great online SIPUR BEHEMSHECIM, you
know."
"I'm just about done looking around your page. I have to say, it
wasn't anything like that which I had expected. What can I say! Great
work! I loved everything! The humor, the writing, the format, the
wonderful non-linearity of it all (which means this is bookmark material)
and the artwork. To sum it all up - it is an oasis of originality in a
wasteland of cliche." "Be it known to all and proclaimed throughout Cyberland
That the Author of this site has exhibited the exalted and
highly coveted attribute of Enlightenment! Therefore you
are worthy and deserving of the glorious honor of receiving: |

Jimmy Wilhelmsson osjimmyw@spinach.mscc.huji.ac.il "Well, Red Fish, I didn't regret it. Of course, I didn't understand all of it either - but I LIKE THAT. "I visited your homepage and was impressed
with the persona you've carved out for yourself. To sound the part of the
true editor "wit"--the kind who writes blurbs of praise for book
jackets--I'd say, "Your ambivalence and cynicism show that you have a
distinct finger on the pulse of the cyber-medium," which would make me a
bullshitter--or, as Salinger's Holden Caulfield would say, a "phony."
Still it would sound nice. Yeah."

Florentina took another slug of turnip vodka and considered alerting the Fish to the error of its ways, but decided to let the poor creature live. For a woman who regularly practiced vivisection on the unsuspecting were-chickens, that was generosity indeed. "What-ho", she mused, idly removing fur-balls from her ears (the cat had been a little over friendly during the night), "To think that once we drew paintings on the walls of caves.... and now we have poor-quality polyester clothing! Isn't science marvellous!!!!" Florentina Mudshark Owner and author of Mudshark Towers and in need of professional help Fiona@mudtower.demon.co.uk |

| "Yeah, you're an ultimately weird dude. I like it. At first glance. Keep up the good(?) work. I think." Nemo nemo@one.net "The high level of
creativity and sarcasm were really well thought out... (Always a
winning combination) You've got a great Web stop, even though I'm not
from Zeta... Plus ( and this is the BIG one)
you mentioned Maayan Keret, so that's an instant win right there..."
"You sure can talk alot"

| "I link to sites that are interesting, well thought out, or otherwise dynamic and cool. Red Fish is all of those." David O. Benson Creator of No Dead Trees dobenson@net2.intserv.com "I have looked at your site
and feel the quality and theme to be superior, but I don't feel it's
quite what I am looking for with regards to this award. Because of
this, I have decided to present you with the "Superfluous Award for
Web Excellence." This award is presented to those sites that don't
quite fit within the limited confines of my current awards, but are
obviously deserving of recognition. You have put together a wonderful
website and I feel you more than deserve this award."
"While i have you here, i just want to say that you have to coolest damn
page i have ever seen. its just bloody amazing. since i found it a
couple days ago i've just been reading as much as i could. you seem
like a pretty cool person. (that last sentance seems like such a
cliche, like something you say when you don't know what else to say, but
i mean it)"
"Seriously, no poking-fun-at, some of the finest examples of why I love
the net...random surfing leads you to content so excellently mundane,
but with an almost indescribable surreal aspect which hooks you to read
on and on.

Scheherazade Creator of Little Bohemia on the Hinkson sbrynjul@prodigy.net
"The Red Fish hails from Israel and his page is a joy to surf, being charmingly confusing and altogether darnedly funny."
