@KickingGirl_ Strong, beautiful piece. Hope to see many more.

@polbaladas Actually, I was quoting Freed Bales at Harvard, who told me "the computer is the greatest projective device ever created," or something like that. (This was 1960 or so.)

This is now my favourite @TheTedNelson quote. Brilliant!

@hotwife463 @nerpulus What animal is this?

This is me trying to be dark and twisty. But I like cuddles and caring.

Today I learnt that there is such a thing as the tasselled wobbegong shark and I need to share it with you all

@manjusrii @mamund @MattBishopL3 @DameWendyDBE The first clickable links were at Brown University in the HES system, circa 1966. They were white-on-black, brighter than the rest of the text, on an expensive CRT. My other ideas were thrown out. I was unpaid, unthanked and undocumented, and I used up my savings of $12,000.

@mamund @MattBishopL3 @DameWendyDBE @TheTedNelson I don’t talk about colour as early displays were monochrome. So I guess you could say the first hyperlinks were green! It would’ve happened after the 80’s

Why are hyperlinks blue? Great history hypermedia as a bonus! blog.mozilla.org/en/internet-cu…
