Links to my New Architect Columns
From November, 2000 through March, 2003, I was lucky enough to write a monthly legal column for CMP Media's New Architect and Web Techniques magazines. I was a subscriber and fan of the magazines long before they asked me to write for them. They were the only print publications that dealt with the Internet at the code level. They ceased publication in March, 2003, but much of the content is still available in a web archive of the print magazine.
