New feature: Internet Today

## Introducing "Internet Today"!
Back in the mid-to-late 1990s, there was a local Portland internet
service provider called Teleport, located inside the Spalding
Building on Southwest Washington Street downtown. One of the
employees there had a daily feature on Teleport's website called
"World Wide Web Today", which he eventually made a standalone site
called WebToday.
Many other locally-based, small ISPs existed at the time, alongside
community-based non-profit "freenet" systems, and many of them had
similar web pages or newsletters. Before sophisticated search
engines and social media, those pages introduced users to many
useful and fun resources one could find online.
This page serves as a homage to that tradition, and also as a way
for me to share many of the cool things I find online outside the
short lifespans of social media timelines.
This will be a very eclectic one, covering many different subject
matters.
