A World of Snippets

About 10 years ago, I met Internet for the first time, through AOL. I would occasionally browse the net to find something homework-related, but that was it– I didn’t even had internet at home, my best friend would allow me to use her computer once in a while.

And the second one, A World Of Snippets, was hosted and powered by Blogger.com… and it is still there, as a matter of fact.
