Here's how it started: Subterranean Homepage News, March 20, 2002.

Day One: It's a cliche among musicians that you get your whole life to make your first album and three months to make your second. This "weblog" may never have such a long daily entry again. My latest Journal job (features & interactive producer of projo.com; I've been an editor here since 1985) and a dozen years of my life online have led me way beyond the categories of the traditional news website. Here, I hope to look at hard news sideways, go deep into parts of the culture that don't make it to the newspaper, delve into freeware and the future of this medium, and share the spotlight with you.

In those days I made it by hand in Dreamweaver, and could only blog from the newsroom, since it lived on our servers here.

Now, with Movable Type's Web interface available 24/7, the blog owns me.
