Books - Open Notes

Co-signed. The web vanishes. Books endure.

Slow-ow-ow-ly revamping my IndieWeb site. Not sure if it’s a web garden or what, but I think I want it to be more than a “blog” (a reverse-chronological list of posts). It’ll get there.

Just came across this, and learned Bill Atkinson was the creator of HyperCard. I’m glad he stayed at Apple to finish it, because you can trace a straight line from me playing with HyperCard at a computer summer camp to my 20-year career in software development. RIP, Mr. Atkinson. ❤️

What is it you’re hoping to see?
