DougWeb.com
I created DougWeb in 1995. Way back at the beginning of the Internet. Before modern Internet time that’s for sure. Then it was a place where I could post my resume, deal with issues in my community like graffiti and neighborhood problems, my pets, my spouse. It was and remains one of those old sites that has a personal twist to its point of view.
Thirteen years seems like an eternity given how technology has changed. Then I was just leaving the world of FidoNet having managed a FidoNet hub 161/200 and node 161/911 (The No-Name Yet Genealogy BBS). That was in the early 90′s when the 8086 was king and 9600 baud was possible with a modem that set you back over $400. Remember the US Robotics Courier HST?
I want to bring it back to life in the 2000′s so my friends and relatives have some idea where we have been and perhaps where we are going. Eileen and I are living now in the land of exorbitant property taxes, excessive litter, and unfriendly government. Graffiti is even on the rise in my area. What a mess we are compared to California. Maryland’s saving grace is its beauty, and if I can keep up with the litter control in my area even the roadways look as nice as the Chesapeake bay does.
Just as DougWeb looked at BART, graffiti, local government, and conservative views so shall it now in 2008. We might even go back to doing an occasional restaurant review.
