nothing like a timeless ripple effect on your profile photo ;-)
- Dewie 13y agoDamn researchers, never update their webpages and certainly not their photos.
- stuartd 13y agoI like the melting effect on the photo. Old school.
- trekky1700 13y agoSometimes old school web design can be really charming and nostalgic.
- hiphopyo 13y agoYou got any nice examples? Currently doing some research on the matter.
- RankingMember 13y agoSadly Geocities is no more.
- bauer 13y agoCheck out neocities. I think archive.org has a geocities archive too.
- michaelochurch 13y agoNeeds more <blink> tags.

- nodesocket 13y agoWonder if the listed personal phone number still works.
- rschmitty 13y agoDid/could Stanford claim any IP on Google?
- DavidAdams 13y agoThey've paid Stanford at least $337 Million in royalties for the original Google algorithm: https://news.stanford.edu/thedish/?p=19621 https://news.stanford.edu/thedish/?p=19621
- adventured 13y agoOuch. Current market value on 1.8 million shares = $2,154,600,000. I think they managed that rather poorly (I understand it's common for investment funds / trusts / endowments - which perhaps the IP was held by - to liquidate soon after an IPO, but I'd think a university like Stanford could have more patience).
- DavidAdams 13y agoI'm bummed that his brother's Geocities website is no longer live.
- kyle_t 13y agoNo kidding. I was bummed to find most of the links broken.

- chobo 13y agoOh god, Geocities e-federations with black background and neon fonts in tables. Nostalgia pangs are coming on heavy, I need to go lie down.
- 8ig8 13y agoI'm so nostalgic for Geocities and Tripod and the rest. It was a good time.
- 8ig8 13y agoThe mid-ninties: It was innocent and simple, but you felt so technologically advanced to be able to publish something online. It wasn't about making millions. No one was judging your code. You used Java Applets to make dynamic menus and that was the pinnacle achievement. No one turned on Javascript. You only worried about Netscape and eventually IE, but you really didn't worry that much about either. You didn't think about domain squatting because you weren't sure how to get a domain and it really wasn't worth the cost, whatever it was. If you did, you got your name from Network Solutions or that startup, Register.com. CGI was for professionals. Perl was for scientists. You kinda checked email every couple weeks. You may have even shared an email address. You were ahead when you had a separate phone line for dial up. You were a big shot when you got DSL (from Phoenix). Your DSL was bought out every six months. It was Phoenix, then Earthlink, then... You got AOL CDs in the mail weekly. You remember gmail invites. Edit: And this was your editor: http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index.php http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index.php
- jnazario 13y ago"Research on the Web seems to be fashionable these days and I guess I'm no exception. Recently I have been working on the Google search engine with Larry Page." love it.
- wj 13y agoI think I went to google.stanford.edu for years after google.com existed. Those were the very end of the days where I could spend hours following links to the corners of the (much smaller) WWW. Now, if I let myself go down those holes, it happens on Wikipedia or Youtube.
- GuiA 13y agotvtropes.com is a wonderful rabbit hole :) My apologies in advance to your employer for the many lost hours of work this comment will cause :X
- giarc 13y agotvtropes.org I hope you don't waste time on tvtropes.com ;)
- faramarz 13y agoTry MillionShort.com for the broader web. It removes the top million sites (Wikipedia, YouTube etc). They've been covered on HN numerous times.
- pmtarantino 13y agoThe first link is the course he taught with Larry Page http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/349/ http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/349/
- fidotron 13y agoWith time I'm beginning to think Sergey and Larry got incredibly lucky with respect to finding each other for the project that would eventually take off. Sergey always comes off as the enthused tech head, whereas Larry goes for big picture stuff, (a little like a variation on Woz and Jobs) but it seems like since that initial convergence they've been diverging more and more. I love the way it says "Currently I am at Google".
- GuiA 13y agoOn one hand, they undeniably got lucky finding each other. On the other hand, they were both researchers in the same field, at one of the best CS universities of the world. Poisson's law and all; luck favors those who come prepared :)
- hyperbovine 13y agoI think you mean Pasteur.
- codecondo 13y agoI don't care what he meant, I need to get prepared!
- timr 13y agoPoisson's law is that luck favors those who choose to sit in the busiest bus station.
- pitchups 13y agoEven more interesting is his old resume : http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/resume.html http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/resume.html Or rather what is hidden in a comment in the HTML - (view source to see it): <!--<H4>Objective:</H4> A large office, good pay, and very little work. Frequent expense-account trips to exotic lands would be a plus.--> He certainly accomplished much of that..plus a whole lot more..:)

- _cbb1 13y agoHe definitely had his goals written in the fine print. Haha :P
- henry120 13y agoAs clever as a creative resume for ad agency.
- ikarandeep 13y agoAnybody try to call his number? lol
- Natsu 13y agoI was tempted but felt it'd be a bit crass and not unlikely to bother some other poor soul who has nothing to do with this.
- tarun29061990 13y agoInteresting resume. I remembered my first webpage when I was learning HTML. The funny thing I noticed was "THE END" at the last.
- aceperry 13y agoI see no mention of his hottie mistress. Disappointed.
- EGreg 13y agoWe describe a new architecture for data mining (sorry not yet available online). Have they made it available since then? ;-)
- squigs25 13y agoHaha, yeah I guess they found that architecture might be a bit too valuable to open source
- spdub 13y agoIf we are talking nostalgia, I remember the first time I heard of google; it was around the first time I heard of napster. Fourteen years ago. How the landscapes have changed.
- marincounty 13y agoHopefully, Google will take the path of Napster!

- fivesquare 13y agothat's an interesting find :)
