"1998, the year I turned 23, was the year I learned to design and build websites to support myself. I didn’t know much about computers, but I would spend all night wandering the web, following hyperlinks from page to page like a Choose Your Own Adventure book with no beginning or end. I explored every web-ring and online community. I would email total strangers if they seemed interesting. Sometimes it was just for the thrill of striking up a conversation with someone who was unlike me, as it had been writing to pen-pals as a child."
