The site was the result of a post-graduate fellowship from Northwestern University's Annenberg-Washington Program. I'd spent the summer of 1994 working at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting researching the impact on telecommunications reform on K-12 education. Because I was just a lowly grad student, they weren't willing to publish my findings in an official capacity, so instead I learned HTML, set up a Web server on my old Mac Classic, and launched EdWeb myself. It was one of the very first websites examining the role of the Web in education, and it propelled me into the work on the digital divide that I'm doing 11 years later. Meanwhile, as part of EdWeb, I set up a personal homepage for myself called Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth As you can see from this archival copy of my homepage from around eight years ago, the page was organized with my latest news updates at the top, with older information further down the page. http://web.archive.org/web/19970620115056/http://edweb.cnidr.org/andy.html Over time, I eventually stopped coding the page by hand and switched to various blogger tools, including Blogger and Movable Type. Today, of course, Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth - still a part of EdWeb but with its own domain name, www.andycarvin.com - is my primary way of saying whatever it is I want to say online. So in a way, I'm able to celebrate the 11th anniversary of my blog today. Perhaps not a blog in function that whole time, but certainly a blog in spirit.
