## Caption

In 2005, I registered Reddit.com on a computer in Alderman Library at UVA and it would change my life.

I stumbled upon this video shot a few months before that, introducing people to the web forum I'd started in college; it was a precursor to Reddit — does it sound familiar?

Thank you, Sir Tim Berners-Lee! I'll spend the rest of my life working to help your technology reach its fullest potential for as many people as possible.

Yes, this was shot on a potato.
