I've wanted one of these for a while. I found one at Goodwill like five years ago for $10 but passed on it because I didn't know if it worked and I didn't have any floppies. Well now I have dozens of 3.5" floppy discs and a Sony Mavica camera, too. It has a 0.3MP sensor. In 1999 you didn't advertise the megapixels because no one knew or cared. Just having a camera that took instant, digital photos... » Continue Reading
(this was originally a bulletin, sorry if you saw it already) We've become so conditioned to instant gratification through notifications we've lost sight of the creativity and healthy discourse that is only now possible online by moving to the periphery. If you, like me, long for the olden days of the internet, you need to accept that the amount of time the Internet is actively courting your atten... » Continue Reading
I think I just want a phone that makes phone calls and does text messages. Having the ability to play music would be nice but not required. It's hard, though, because my non-dumb phone is also my car GPS and lets me check messages from work. It's all the hundred other things it does that I don't really like. I don't like those things because I am weak and can't avoid them. I use social media way ... » Continue Reading
No one has asked and I've given no reason for people to suspect otherwise but hot damn I'm feeling good right now. I got back from a work trip and then took the remainder of this week off, and one sign the time-off is doing is magic is when you feel like you're ready at any time to return to work. And I am. I am ready. Please don't confuse this with me saying I'm not enjoying time-off, because tha... » Continue Reading
I really do love how this site is not only authentic in its functionality and design to the original, but the people who use it are new, younger versions of the people who were using it back in the day. I don't even know how that happened. It's so cool to see. Honestly, I was expecting this site to be nothing but olds like me. Instead I discovered it's youngs who like emo music and anime. To you f... » Continue Reading
I was going to talk about HTML 1.0 but then I looked at Wikipedia and learned I never actually wrote a webpage in HTML 1.0, instead my earliest HTML experience was in 2.0, which was released in 1995. That's crazy. I read about the WWW obsessively at the time. It was maybe the thing I was most interested in outside of video games. One day, in an issue of MacWorld, or maybe MacUser (my dad subscrib... » Continue Reading
I've been saying "man I wish we never turned our backs on MySpace," and then I got the idea to recreate it. So I started building the layout and perfected it and then someone said "Oh you're not on SpaceHey it's exactly what you're doing." And it is, but much better than what I was making. That being said, in my quest to recreate MySpace I learned a lot about modern web layout. I didn't know anyt... » Continue Reading
