I’ve said it before and today more than ever it’s true: I feel like an old lady when I think about the Web, how far it’s come, how long I’ve been publishing and playing on it and how much it’s changed my life.

We learned<\/a>, we got recognized<\/a>, we fell off the face of the earth<\/a> and we always came back for more<\/a>.<\/p>\n I imagine us old folks crowded on benches around the playground while our children run and slide and swing, musing how, even if our kids can sometimes be a real pain in the ass, we are so damn proud of them — and of us, for raising them.<\/p>\n We did something good. We built something, we made connections, we expressed ourselves, we fooled around, we gave each other hope in really trying times and we kept on going.<\/p>\n And, really, if I could, I would pinch each and every web site’s cheeks today because I think they are such beautiful little miracles of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve said it before and today more than ever it’s true: I feel like an old lady when I think about the Web, how far it’s come, how long I’ve been publishing and playing on it and how much it’s changed my life.
