Twenty-five years ago today, I made my first personal “web logbook” entry.
I had been knitting websites together for various organizations for three or four years before starting my own.
Twenty-five years is a long time in the technology universe.
In 2001, it was still the wild days of roll-your-own HTML. Most people connected via dial-up. Acoustic modems were probably gone by then. AOL was still alive, well, and profitable.
And Gmail was still three years away.
This is the first entry. And it is still online:
28 April 2001
On 28 April 2009, the blog moved to WordPress.
Nobody is more surprised than I am that I have kept this going.
Maybe 9,000 posts.
I started it for myself and continue doing it for myself.
And I am grateful for anyone who stops in from time to time.
