The History of the Web

I started this newsletter in 2017, shortly after an election that has now played out a second time, and with the same result. The idea for something like this had been echoing through my head, but the creative restlessness I felt during that time pushed me to finally put it out there.

In all the years since, I’ve been chipping away at the timeline on this site, and writing posts for the blog and newsletter. It has been immensely rewarding. When I sit down to think about it, I am reminded of the connections I’ve made, the people I’ve spoken to, and the stories I’ve uncovered. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

It’s also been a labor of love this entire time. I’ve turned to advertising here and there to help cover some basic costs, but it’s never been a focus. Maybe in the new year I’ll actually start a Patreon or a Ko-Fi or something like that, but whenever I look into it I just get distracted and come right back to the research.

This project is about something I care deeply about. I’ve offered my own perspective and, I think, have surfaced some accounts that a very specific group of people (all of you) care about.
