13<p>From late 1997 until mid 2002 I ran a web site for About.com primarily about 
14  web based 3D graphics. Originally the site was called vrml.miningco.com, (the 
15  company was originally called &quot;The Mining Company&quot;), then the site 
16  was changed to web3d.about.com, and finally 3dgraphics.about.com. During that 
17  time it became one of the key information resources about web3d industry, and 
18  was lots of fun! One part of the site were weekly articles and this is an archive 
19  of those articles.</p>
