personal | The Tony Burgess Blog

tonyburgess1969.net is my spot on the web, my official blog of record, my domain (yep I paid for it). No matter what goes on over at Facebook or Twitter this will always be where I will share what is on my heart and in my head without limit. Here I can be less filtered and a little more daring if you will. It is important to be genuine and real. Bloggers are special and we all have a connection with one another through our common interest. Of course I will remain courteous, kind and always silly. Here I am the star of my own blog.

This is a digital extension of who I am. What you see here is what I am like in person. I am grateful to each of you from far and wide who are following me, reading and commenting my posts. As I read on another blog a blog without readers isn’t a fun place to be. WordPress has provided us an awesome platform for expression and connection. So when you come here you will see my blog is me.

What happened to all those other big brands that dominated the early Internet experience? Here’s a nerdy remembrance of a few of them.

I first got online back in 1995 after I bought a computer that could get on the World Wide Web. I had other computers that accessed Prodigy and some Bulletin Board Systems. The 1990’s were kind of the beginnings of the commercial Internet. I do miss those days but I kind of like the blogging and social media of the here and now. NPR’s report gives us a historical look back to the early Web.
