Andrea Hill
Socks Socks Socks! Yes Yes Yes!
Andrea takes the side of running. And feet. And shoes. She takes the side of socks. Injinji and Balega are all right. But Smartwool is where it’s at.
Back in the day, Andrea took the side of Tiffany, Debbie Gibson and New Kids on the Block. Nowadays, she takes the side of Uh Huh Her, Sleater-Kinney and MP3s.
Andrea takes the side of communicating in French, Spanish and HTML. She takes the side of web standards, but not transparent PNGs; guacamole, but not pate.
She helped foster online communities by serving as a community leader at Geocities before their 1999 purchase by Yahoo, had a livejournal before they required invite codes, and before anyone outside of California had heard of the PageRank algorithm, she was busy mining the Web for sites to include in the Open Directory Project.
