The History Channel

Today, I thought we would take a nostalgic trip through the archives and visit one of our earliest featured sites. In fact, it was the third site we featured, way back on January 22nd, 1997. It is kind of ironic that this site from our history is, itself, about history.

I didn’t really think about it too much until I got a note from Lockergnomie Dan Potts this afternoon. Don’s thinking about working at [...]

I knew something was wrong, but what?
I received an e-mail tonight from Maximumsoftware for [...]

National Piano Month

September
“The Internet has everything,” I overhead one grandmother explain to another during an elevator ride. (Is it considered eavesdropping if you’re in a elevator?) I, of course, agree. The Internet even offers free piano lessons. I’m not suggesting that computerized piano lessons should take the place of IRL (Web talk for “in real life”) lessons [...]
