While trying to research an article, I happened upon an archive of JoeUser back when it was solely Brad's blog.
Back around October of 2002 the issues included home movies on a PC, the future of Saddam Hussein and militant Islam, information gods v. mere mortals, and which trees to plant for privacy.
I doubt taking this look back at where JoeUser came from will give any indication of where it is going, but it sure is interesting.
