I recently received a message from my alma mater that my ONYEN (the Only Name You’ll Ever Need) password was about to expire.  I graduated back in 2001, but I still have this username with the university.  I decided to see just what I still have access to…..it looks like email and apparently server space.

I stumbled upon my first website.  Behold the beauty I made with Netscape Composer:

http://www.unc.edu/~annavan/

Reading it makes me laugh…especially for a few reasons 1) I am no where near as physically active as I used to be; 2) my linking to my (now ex-) husband’s page; and 3) my mentioning of my good, hometown friend (and former swimming nemesis from when I was 8-years-old), Lia Menken (who I’ve just reconnected with via Facebook).

Looking at it makes me a bit sad, because I don’t think i could design/develop anything much better today.  Well, maybe a bit better, but not much….
