I've finally ended up on youtube.
I don't know if I should be proud or embarrassed by this demo I gave that's now up on YouTube. I'm demoing what is now known as AJAX or Web 2.0 to a bunch of AOL designers at the design summit (I think) back in 2000. At that time, the web 2.0 paradigms that we're used to - web pop-ups, mouse overs, etc, didn't exist. Pop-ups were irritating ads. The whole idea of having your design separate from the code was novel.
Anyway, it's kind of cool, and nostalgic to see the old app I demoed our stuff (the calendar along with several other apps) to over 30 groups in AOL to audiences of more than 200 people. And I all got was a couple lousy patents! :( (Not even on this tech.)
