Welcome to the oldest document online. My name is Craig Brown. I entered the field of information technology when personal computers were invented in the 1980s. When modems first became available, I was fascinated by the concept of being online. I decided I would put a record of my career online and keep it updated until I retired. The first version was on an early bulletin board system, followed by a networked bulletin board system called FidoNet. While working for Lotus Development Corporation, I migrated to Lotus Notes, then to Lotus Domino, and finally to an early version of the web. I later migrated to various hosting services. When I reached retirement age, I moved to a WordPress site. It is not an exaggeration to say you are looking at the oldest consistently online document in the world.
I kept very busy the past 45 years or so and this site contains detailed information on exactly what I did. For those of you with limited time, this page is a summary. You can find more detail on other pages.
I spent the past 13 years working on a very important project. My intent for pointing you to this site is in the hope you read about my project and ask yourself “is it possible that his claims are accurate?”. I generated billions in wealth for other people, just because I’m considered too old, it doesn’t mean I’m any less capable.
From 2010 – 2013, I spent a great deal of time in Russia collecting information about hackers. After returning to the U.S., I began a project to help address my vision of the future. I designed a platform that couldn’t be made until certain predicted innovations had occurred. What should have taken a few years stretched out over a decade.
The last few years have been very difficult. There was COVID, divorce, and heart disease. But here I am, beyond retirement age, with what I say is the most important discovery in many years. Sadly, I am lacking the one thing required to launch this unicorn. I am running out of lifetime.
The reader has likely been directed here by my announcement that I would sell my invention, along with the 5 or so pending patents, for a starting bid of $50 million. I am particularly interested in speaking with foreign investors or government entities that want to enter the artificial intelligence space with at least a five-year jump on anyone else in the industry. Am I for-real or a crackpot?

Site Summary
I can’t explain how or why, but I’ve been 10 years ahead of everyone else since the early 80s. I’m not having delusions of grandeur, believe me, I would have much preferred to be a happy normal person. I present the following two letters that were sent when I left my job at Digital Equipment Corporation.
“Why would the second-largest tech company in the world care what I do?
These are just a few of the many projects featured on this site. If you’re interested, stick around—I promise, my life has never been boring!
Before moving to tech, at 18 I was the youngest Marine Biologist in the world. My area of study was shark vision research. That is a live shark I am trying to hold.
Conceptualized and built the first remote job search site. This was 10 years before Monster.com made that claim.
Designed and implemented the first artificial intelligence, 30 years before ChatGPT.
With my background as a biologist, formulated the first energy food product. Tasty Buzz was available in stores as well as every truck stop in the United States and Canada. This led to the multibillion-dollar industry it is today.
During the recession I built (and funded) the largest private relief effort in the United States. My objective was to help people who have been laid off.
While studying hacker activities in Russia, I had the opportunity to hang out with a Russian oligarch.
