December 17, 2008Blogging

It’s called Life As It Is, written by Ann McMaster, and it’s at www.AnnMcMaster.com.  After the first month, I sent her a note that in about four weeks’ time she had gotten more than [...]

August 27, 2008Blogging

It seems like I’ve been around the Internet a very long time now. I started with Symbolics in 1983, which was a spinoff from MIT.
