Like all blogs, this one is about stuff I find interesting and/or important (IMHO). Blogging (336), Google (148), Books (493) and, more recently, AI (150). With ChatGPT as my favorite flavor.

When I started this blog in 2002, we were in the early days of what came to be known as Web 2.0 (PDF):

Web 2.0 refers to the evolution of the internet from static, read-only websites (Web 1.0) to a more interactive, dynamic, and user-driven environment. Unlike its predecessor, Web 2.0 emphasizes user-generated content, collaboration, and social interaction, fundamentally changing how people use and contribute to the web.

If you weren’t around for it, it’s difficult to appreciate the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. It was pretty exciting and the Internet was never the same again.

I think/hope we’ll look back at these early days of AI as the same sort of transformative leap forward. So all of these ChatGPT blog posts? Just me scribbling (copying and pasting) as fast as I can.
