It was 1998 and a friend of mine showed me a site. The site was nothing special, just pics of naked girls, but being the geeks we are we were both intrigued by the hit counter. We did the math and realized they were getting about 25,000 hits a day. I did some research and learned about webmaster sponsor programs. I started doing HTML and actually began working for a company that made websites. I wasn't a designer, but was a good HTML code monkey. On the side I started an amateur site where people could submit their personal pics. As it turns out my boss tried to submit pics he took at a topless beach while in Florida for a business trip (he didn't know it was my site). The email bounced, he recognized my email in the header and asked if I ran the site. I told him I did. We decided to go our separate ways. I started focusing on doing this full time and within a few months I was making more doing this than at my old job.

The funny thing was my old boss got fired (not sure why) about a year later, and he came to me looking for a job. I gave him some pointers, but I don't know if he ever followed through.
