Who the hell is this?
Sometime around early 1994, two of my friends compelled me to compile a program called NCSA Mosaic. After getting it to work on our local XWindows system, we used it to view the entirety of the World Wide Web as it existed at the time. It was what, 17 pages? We could see the Smithsonian and dinosaur pictures. I was not impressed. I distinctly recall saying “nothing will come of this”.
I have nothing but regret for my personal lack of vision.
The longer version
I've tried my hand at running a business, twice. I've been an independent consultant, I've sold my soul to be a consultant for a company. I've done base webhosting jobs, a gas station clerk, infantryman, professional bum, but for the past decade and a half been with the same company as it got bought, absorbed, merged, and then assimilated by my current employer IBM. Yes, I work for Big Blue.
(This isn't to say I speak for IBM. On the contrary, I don't think anyone wants me speaking on their behalf if they can help it, and IBM feels the same way. If you think any of my opinions translate somehow to IBM's official position, you are a moron and should not be taken seriously. You'll know when I speak on behalf of IBM because you will be paying IBM for the privilege.)
