I'm a sucker for history, if not a good student of it, so when I get a chance, I indulge a little too much in the background of a subject. And that's what the rest of this page is about--a historical account of my meager niche on the web. So if you're interested, keep on following, otherwise, I'm certain there's something much cooler to look at on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjFxJVeCQs">YouTube</a>.

Spin up the wayback machine and set the dials for June, 1995. I had seen someone show off a web page or two back in the fall of '94, but hadn't been too impressed by the concept of hyperlinks. But while at a college reunion, my friends, <a href="http://digitalathene.com">Steve Luminati</a> and <a href="http://www.joki.com/">Tom Pixley</a>, guided me through the construction my own web page.

"To create a paragraph," said Steve, "use the less-than sign, followed by the letter 'p', followed by the greater-than sign. Then follow it with whatever you want to print."

A few moments later: "Can I bold text?"

"Same way, except use 'b' instead of 'p'. And I'll show you how to embed an image."

"A graphic? Cool!"

And a web addict was born.
