onfocus

Beto was an early Blogger user and he stopped by the office with a video camera one day in 1999. I figured that footage was lost, but he's turned it into a fun little movie: In the Beginning: A Video on Weblogs History. The beginning of the pseudofilm is hysterical. It's like watching home movies for me, and it's hard to imagine that anyone else would be interested—but the early Blogger users were a loosley connected community, and those were fun times. It's great to have a snapshot of that time and place—just an ordinary day at the office—and it brings back great memories of working with Ev and Meg. Thanks, Beto! [via megnut]

Here's my original post about this footage from 2000.
