In 1995, Yahoo was started and I created my first webpage. Sadly, I think that first site of mine, as well as about 3 years of subsequent revisions, have been lost to the Internet ghosts. (Though, mental note, must see if I can find any trace of it anywhere, perhaps on a floppy? Eee gads, a floppy?!?) I currently have most of each version of my webpage since late 1998, and slowly, sloooooowly, I plan to document them here. Screenshots at least. There are a lot of sites out there saying that blogs didn’t begin until 1999 or so, and that when they did start, it was with a dozen or so now-famous internet celebrities. But I’d like to think I was one of the unnoticed early bloggers. I started in late 1998, though at that time I wasn’t posting as often or as much as I do now… One day, I will upload my archives. One day…
Anyway, what made me think about all that? Well, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! Check out:

I heard of a place on the net that archives web pages. Do you want me to find out about it? It is great way to find old web pages, or at least old web sites.

Here’s the site and I was going to suggest it as well. It’s a pretty cool way to go back in time. http://www.archive.org/

I can’t believe it’s been only ten years. It seems like forever.
