A. Originally it stood for the "Children's Web Workshop." I registered the domain name back in 1996 with the idea that someday I'd create the Sesame Street of the Web. Well, that never really materialized, so I started using cww.org to host my personal Web site. In the meantime, the Children's Television Workshop changed its name to Sesame Workshop, so CWW no longer has much meaning as a tribute to CTW. It figures.Q. I'd like to offer you a million dollars for the cww.org domain name. How can I contact you?A. For brief messages, a handy e-mail form is available.Q. I see that your educational background is in literature, but now you're working in the computer industry. How did that come about?A. By my third year of graduate school at Cal (1994-1995) I'd lost interest in my studies, so I decided to write a master's thesis and leave school instead of continuing in the doctoral program. At the same time, the Internet was becoming popular and I got interested in the Web —mostly for its potential as a new publishing medium. Back then the barriers to entry into the industry were really low. I bought a book and taught myself to write HTML; then at the end of 1995 I got a job at GolfWeb as a combination editor/HTML coder and I've been working in the field ever since, gradually drifting towards the technical side because that's where the jobs are.Q. I'm a busy person and don't have much time to spend looking at your site. What's the most interesting thing here?
