Thought I Was Through

28 February 2002

then I went here.Look at the variety of stories and thoughts and topics that we get!

All these years (since 1997) I’ve been using the web to read the Wall Street Journal or download some printer driver or find out the price of some widget. I still read the hard copy Journal, printers still need drivers and I still shop lots of places without checking on the web. But…how did I miss all the incredibly valuable stuff that is in these weblogs? Have I been so focused on supporting Microsoft products that I missed out on what the open source advocates are doing? Is that the cause? Well, I’m glad I’ve found it now.

The next big challenge? How to effectively and efficiently read/process it every day or every week? Is that what the news aggregator can do for me? Is that what www.scripting.com does for me?

Whatever, it’s fun and a cool way to learn about this Internet thing I’ve been using without really appreciating fully.
