At the risk of tooting my own horn, here's something I found fairly cool.
It is my announcement of one of the first, if not the first searchable
mailing list archives on the web (
http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-html.1994q3/0001.html).  It's hard
for me to really believe that it's been more than 13 years since I created
it.  It led fairly directly to many cool things.

I get this kind of alert now and then when archive pages are updated even
though they really haven't changed.  This particular one is from the
WWW-HTML list, where standards for HTML were discussed in the early days of
the web.  And mid-1994 really was the early days, when it was just starting
gain some momentum.

I just spent a little time reading what I was writing about in 1994.  A lot
of what I thought would happen did... and we still have some of the same
issues with the web.  And many the people who were involved back then went
on to do cool stuff.

I'm not sure I'd have guessed that it would be interesting to be able to
look back at what I was discussing.  None of us realized how big the web
would become.
