May 2, 1998 proved to be a momentous day for me. I launched https://peterme.com/, with a post about my experiences at CHI 98. That very original page doesn’t exist anymore (I overwrote it to update the navigation on the left-hand side), but the content is there in its full glory.
Don’t click around too much — linkrot quickly devolves the experience.
Apart from meeting my wife, having kids, and starting Adaptive Path, there is probably no experience more impactful in my life than that fateful day I created my personal home page. (And Adaptive Path would not have existed if it weren’t for the community that I took part in thanks to this site.)
Here’s to another 20 years.
I may not have been reading your blog since 1998, but I’m pretty sure I was reading it since around 1999. That’s also my 20 year blogging anniversary, so I may dust off my original site and put it back again.
