When I was a senior in college at the University of Florida I took an “honors” Hemingway class. My girlfriend at the time was spending the semester in Spain and she let me borrow her computer while she was gone. I somehow managed to convince my professor to let me build a website featuring all of my classmates’ essays instead of writing a 50-page term paper. (This was back in the very early days of HTML, before anyone even started putting graphics on the World Wide Web, so it was kind of a big deal.)

The Hemingway site I built became pretty popular and — after graduation — I kept adding to it. People from all over the world sent me their essays and I would post them. Eventually I decided to get my own URL. I registered davidgagne.net with a tiny little start-up named Dotster and found another start-up, Dreamhost, to handle the hosting. At the same time another new company was becoming popular: Blogger. I started blogging on March 3rd, 2000 and have been publishing more or less daily to this website since then.

I currently live in Los Angeles, California with my wife, our two dogs, and two cats. I’m the CTO of Brandissimo!, Inc. and life is good.
