Sheldon started keeping an online journal on November 8, 1998. He posted synopses of his thoughts and activities, comments on books, films, TV shows, and music both live and recorded. He wrote his final note on the day he died, February 4, 2008, 9 years ago. The first page, from 1998, links back to a “1975 Retrospective,” which links in turn to a “1971 Retrospective.’

He used the photo here in the 1971 retrospective — a selfie — from 1971. Sheldon was way ahead of the crowd with selfies!

Sheldon Brown kept an online journal for several years. He coded it himself in html rather than using blog software. Sheldon reviewed books, movies, concerts and TV programs, as well as describing his travels and other interests including, of course, bicycles and bicycling. Harriet is in the process of dusting off the journal, reformatting it for easier reading, repairing broken links, etc.

Pages which have been redone as of now are those from January and February 2006 through January – February 3, 2008
