jwz: Netscape Navigator 2.0 was released 30 years ago today
Wow, 30 years! I always enjoy jwz’s posts on the history of Netscape. Unfortunately for me, I’m of an age where I was spending a lot of time online during the Netscape 4.0 era, which I do remember not liking. Now I know why it sucked.

Finished reading: I, Robot by Isaac Asimov 📚
The book is structured as a series of short stories told by someone who is being interviewed by a reporter. I did not expect this setup (probably because of the movie)! Most of the stories I enjoyed, some I could have skipped. Overall a good read.
