It’s years too late now,
but I finally saw Doug Block’s excellent independent documentary, Home Page, which chronicles a certain thread in the early days of the WWW. It was kind of creepy to watch now, everything under glass like that, but at the same time that history is my history in a big way. So it’s kind of like looking down a weird webified memory lane full of people that formed the experience depicted in Block’s film but also, quite separately, my own past on the net. Weird, but I’m glad I finally saw it.

the transcript of Eldred v. Ashcroft. Maybe I should have been a lawyer after all. I find this side of things fascinating.
Netscape’s DevEdge site
