The site, in 1995
A blog on technology, futurism, science fiction and gadgets, which began as a printed zine started by Mark Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair in 1988.
It won the Bloggies' Weblog of the Year in 2004 and 2005. Fast Company said that by the mid-2000s it was among the most-read and most-linked blogs in the world.
In 1995: The zine, whose last issue was number 15, now had a website too. It went web-only a year later.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
