I first started writing online purely as an expression of my creative self, in 1995 those now nostalgic early days of the internet. It was 1995 and I was 10, and via MSN, which back then was a decent dial-up internet service provider (and a PC-centric alternative to AOL, with more class than CompuServe).

I had first gotten access to the internet and in South Korea, I became part of the 0.4% and rapidly growing share of the world that was connected to each other via the then-named "information superhighway". MSN was mostly still a published experience.
