I stumbled across this bit of history this morning – the first web page I ever helped build.

Comet Hale-Bopp was, at the time, one of the coolest stories I’d ever had the privilege to be involved in, science you could go out and see for yourself, and this new Web thing was about the coolest medium for more fully sharing my excitement with others. We were as young and naive as the medium, but we had fun that year and my enthusiasm for the Web as a medium for sharing my work hasn’t waned.
