One of the things I enjoy (usually) about teaching computer science is that their is always something new to learn. Things never stay the same.

I have been using the Internet since the fall of 1991 when I learned how to ftp, telnet, and e-mail (I only knew two people at the time with e-mail outside of the university). Gopher appeared soon after and then the world wide web. Archie & Veronica searches gave way to yahoo, Altavista, and then Google.

The first computer we owned at home was a Radio Shack Color Computer II (about 1984) with 16K of memory (yes that is K, not MB, not GB). It used the TV as a monitor and cassette tapes for storage. I used to type-in programs that came in a monthly magazine. I remember thinking “if I just had 32K I could run anything!”.

Blogs have been around for quite a while it was time for me to give it a try.
