While making non-narcissistic use of the Wayback Machine, I couldn’t resist finding out what it had to say about go2net, an Internet company for which I must admittedly take a certain responsibility. They go as far back as December 1996, the proverbial damned long time ago.

How we managed to go from jabbering about a wacky idea in a brew pub in San Diego to fully operational Internet site with five major products in little more than five months still boggles my mind — though it does lend credence to my bitching about working “18 hours a day, 7 days a week”.
