Sometimes one comes across

March 17, 2001 by Michael Boyle

the most interesting things late at night when one has no business doing so. So here I am, sitting at my computer post-bar, pre-bedtime, reading some nice personal websites. And I follow the link that Jason Kottke has put up to his earliest “daily website” or weblog entry from three years ago. And I find that but days after he started, he made a very pithy comment about the state of the web at that time – and if anything it’s even worse now (if hypertext = better and pseudo-hypertext = worse). I among hundreds of others have made the same comment, both before and after he did. But one of the nice things about the weblog format is that you can date a comment and fix it in time – something that’s hard to do in with quite the same certainty as in a weblog.
