Ho John Lee’s Weblog

 
Tomorrow is trash day. Out on the curb in the paper recycling bin are a fine assortment of Red Herring, Industry Standard, Wired, and other print artifacts circa 1996-1997. The headlines bring back some memories…the Browser Wars, the rise of Java, Kim Polese on the cover of Red Herring, endless retrofits onto Windows 95, and telecom and server hosting were booming businesses…

I’d forgotten just how thick the magazines used to be, back when their ad revenues were growing without bound. They weigh a ton, all on nice clay coated glossy paper — the trash guys probably won’t be happy about it in the morning. Unfortunately, this hardly makes a dent in the pile of technorubble still out in the garage.
