O'GRADY'S POWERPAGE

The PowerPage has been publishing daily mobile technology news and opinion since December 1995. The PowerPage is the second Mac blog (the first is Rick Ford’s Macintouch) and both predate the term “blog” which was popularized in 1996 or 1997 — depending on your source. It was founded in December of 1995 when Jason O’Grady was troubleshooting a problem with an Apple PowerBook 5300ce and a Global Village PC card modem. After finding the solution to the problem he posted it on a Web si... te called “O’Grady’s 5300 Power Page.” At the time there was a vacuum of information dedicated to PowerBooks after both MacWorld and MacUser magazines stopped publishing a dedicated PowerBook section of the book. Since then the PowerPage has published under several names including Go2Mac.com and has had several spin-offs in the late 90′s including NoBeige.com and PalmLounge.com. The PowerPage has be served by numerous software applications over the years including MacHTTP, WebStar, ColdFusion, Web Objects, Movable Type and a couple in between.More
