My colleague and I co-host a monthly live literary show called Write Club, which pits writers against each other in timed bouts on opposing concepts. While we're all quarantined, we're continuing on with a series of video bouts. First installment is up now, with more to come in the weeks to follow. [more inside]

This is what happens when we wander around with a camera at Dragon*Con: drunken nerdy shenanigans.

Did you know that the web was born on August 6, 1991?! That's the day the first server went on on ol' Tim Berners-Lee's desk at CERN [wikipedia citation]. So this Saturday is its 20th birthday. To honor the web at this milestone, my agency friends and I created a quiz to find out who's got the most #webcred, and see how far we've all come (there is a question about the McDonald's homepage from 1996... remember when an editor at Wired Magazine bought the URL and took suggestions from readers about what to do with it?!). Take a trip down memory lane with us by playing our quiz, and reminiscing about the days *before* social media.
