Derry Brownfield Show: World Wide Web
The Internet has become so much a part of our lives it feels strange to say/write the word. Hard to remember a time when it was new and strange. The interview segment below is from 1996 and is a tiny time capsule from those early days of the “world wide web.”
On September 11, 1996, Allen Hammock was the guest on Derry Brownfield’s radio show to talk about the Internet and the “World Wide Web.” Allen and his partner, Dan Arnall, had recently joined Learfield Communications to “explore opportunities” on this new thing called the Internet. Allen and Dan were recent graduates of the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. They created the first websites for our company and worked with our IT department to stream audio for our various radio networks and programs, including The Derry Brownfield Show. This 13 minute segment (edited from an hour-long show) touches on: Personal Communication, Privacy and Security, computer viruses, and getting “on” and “off” the Internet.
On November 22, 1996, Derry did a follow-up show featuring Solveig Bernstein, talking about privacy (and other topics) on the Internet (still newish at the time). Ms. Bernstein was the Assistant Director of Telecommunications and Technology Studies for the Cato Institute.
Stacking Logs
“When stripped of formality and returned to its natural shape, Zen is earthy and ordinary. Nothing special.”
“It is so uncontrived and subtle that it goes nearly unnoticed. And no one can deliberately do it.”
“Taoism and Zen cannot properly be understood, but they can be experienced.”
Sawing Logs
In the low 30’s today here in mid-Missouri but I spent a couple of hours with the chainsaw making little one from big ones. These will have to be stacked unless the lumberjack elves do it while I sleep. By the time this project is complete, I think I might have enough logs to fill 50 pickup trucks. Maybe more.
