I’m excited to launch “Bubble Blog: From Outsider to Insider in Silicon Valley’s Web 2.0 Revolution”. Fans of Web Development History will enjoy my new book, as it provides an inside look at how the web evolved in the first decade of the 2000s. ❤️ @ricmac https://t.co/xUYzzNGfgV

In honour of the 7th anniversary of the passing of the great @DavidBowieReal, I'm posting an interview I did in 2020 with one of the creators of Bowie's 1998 web portal, BowieNet. #BowieForever https://t.co/3QovfHB5mn

I’m working on a @webdevhistory post about the genesis of PHP over 1994/1995. I'm wondering if anyone has a copy of PHP creator @rasmus’s website at that time: https://t.co/lFpwW2pLAJ? The @waybackmachine doesn’t have it, and it would really help my post.

I’ve had a good week with my @webdevhistory side project, with a Hacker News frontpage driving traffic and new subscribers. Even so, the project feels a bit like this 👇 😃
