This site&#8217;s origins go back to December 1994 when we launched the website of Mercury House, the book publishing company I directed. (I think it was one of the first book publishing websites.) An intern, Joshua Grossnickle <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26search-type%3Dss%26index%3Dbooks%26field-author%3DJoshua%2520Grossnickle%26page%3D1&amp;tag=rightreading-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\">(who has since gone on to bigger things)<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=rightreading-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>, was responsible for that first version.<\/p>\n<p>I partitioned a little section off as my personal space. In those days my personal web space was sort of resumelike (boring). Then I broke out of that mode with the daybook, which was the first ambitious personal project on the site. The  Book of Days is still around and I update it from time to time. (I should probably redo it in a more web 2.0 style &#8212; but life is short.) It&#8217;s a personal daybook &#8212; I include what interests me, making no attempt to be exhaustive.<\/p>\n<p>You could check it out.<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little self-promotion here, tinged with a bit of nostalgia for the early days of the web.
