Yours truly first started surfing the web back in 1995. That translates to about a thousand internet years.
But I haven't forgotten that every day, newbies are taking their first nervous steps into the strange new world that is the World Wide web.
And while the biggest risks in 1995 were getting... continue reading...

Just what is this thing called the internet, anyhow?
When I first connected up to the 'net back in 1995, you needed to be at least semi-nerdy. Microsoft was still acting like the internet wasn't that big of a deal. Windows 95, while immensely easier to configure to connect up than its 16-bit p... continue reading...

Well, the internet has been around for a few years now. Specifically, I'm talking about the World Wide Web.
I put my first site online in 1995, and let me tell, you, it was ugly. But most everyone's sites were back then. Cascading style sheets, browser detection, and java... continue reading...

The internet's history can be traced way back to the 1970's. However, most of us weren't aware of it until the 90's or later. One of the protocols that used to be a large player in internet traffic was gopher.
The gopher protocol was developed at the University of Minnesota, who then named... continue reading...

I love Firefox. Regular visitors may be painfully aware of that ;-). But I've had a nagging problem with it since upgrading to version 1.5.
I thought they had turned Flash off on my beloved St. Louis Cardinals' MBL.com site. But I finally figured out that Flash had stopped working EVERYWHER... continue reading...

In the world of the web, like everywhere else, someone has to pay the bills. While we have gotten used to the idea that most of the internet is �free,� the fact is that it costs money to put up websites.
Fortunately, for both the surfer and the site owner, there is Google's AdSense.
In fact, I hol... continue reading...
