Tripod merged with Lycos in 1998, and after a year working for our new corporate parent, it became pretty clear to me that our strange little company was going to be utterly transformed by the merger and that wasn’t a change I wanted to be part of. My departure from Geekcorps was far dicier - my colleagues ... more
In 2000, I spent a lot of time downloading music from Napster. I was working on Geekcorps and we had an office at MassMoCA , which had excellent connectivity. Working very long hours to get a new non-profit off the ground, I was listening to a lot of music in the office, and the ability to discover a new artist via Napster, listen to a few tracks, then buy albums via Amazon was one of those experiences that left me thinking, “Man, the internet just makes the world better.”
