World Wide Web creator starts blog

Tim Berners-Lee has started a blog and discusses how the Web took off as a medium where visitors not only read but also contributed material. Berners-Lee first proposed the Web in 1989.
World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee has started a blog just in time for the 15th anniversary of his invention.
In his first entry, Berners-Lee remarked on how the Web took off as a publishing medium rather than one in which visitors not only read but also contributed information.
That has changed lately with the growing popularity of blogs, which are online diaries that often let visitors submit comments, and wikis, which are sites in which visitors can add, change and even delete what they see.
Their popularity "makes me feel I wasn't crazy to think people needed a creative space," wrote Berners-Lee, who added that he decided to start a blog to get a chance to play with blogging tools.
Berners-Lee first proposed the Web in 1989 while developing ways to control computers remotely at CERN, the Geneva, Switzerland, European Organization for Nuclear Research.
He never got the project formally approved, but quietly tinkered with it anyway, making the first browser available at CERN by Christmas Day 1990.
Time Warner Cable announced the details a family-friendly package of cable channels that it will begin offering in the first few months of next year.
The "Family Choice Tier" will be offered across its coverage area in early 2006 for $12.99 above the cost for basic cable, which averages about $12.
The company said a digital set-top box will generally be needed to receive the programming package.
The company said the package would include 15 channels: the cartoon channel Boomerang; C-SPAN 2 and C-SPAN 3; CNN Headline News; The Science Channel; Discovery Kids; Disney Channel; DIY Network; FIT-TV, Food Network; HGTV; La Familia; Nick Games & Sports; The Weather Channel and Toon Disney.
