In January 2001, I was blogging about

• The Onion: Clinton Not Expecting to Collect White House Security Deposit
• Anachronisms in the movie Titanic
• A textual detective who helps the FBI solve crimes and says Clement Clark Moore did not write “A Visit from St. Nicholas”
• A student whose client backed out needed a project, so I asked her to write a handout on email.
  • Writing Effective Email: Top 10 Tips —  Write a meaningful subject line; keep the message short and readable; avoid attachments; identify yourself; don’t flame (and more).
  • First draft submitted by Jessica Bauer Dec 12 2000; I touched it up and posted it on my blog a few weeks later
  • Two decades later it’s still one of the most popular pages on my website.
