ugh let’s not talk about the dead

Tom probably misses you too.

(Actually, he might not. He and the Woz seem to have won capitalism).

Just keep living. There’ll be more stuff to miss, gathering in the shadowy, dusty corners of your memories. Not that paint chip over there though.

Ruminating has no limits.

I barely remember HEARING about “Myspace”. This from one who remembers “The Well” and bbs’s.

And “AOL” and 2400 baud modems. Dagnabit!

I miss old-school message boards. I met my spouse on one of those!

I miss the pre-Social media internet. The internet felt open and full of promise. Now it feels like everything wrong with the world

Just checked. It’s still there if you want. Seems to be centered around musicians now though. Weird.

I really miss my space. I can never find a place in the house that doesn’t have people there before me. I wish I had a space…wait a minute…you mean Myspace…never mind.

I checked in on my old account some years ago and it was still there. I’m working on easing off of social media and sticking to the comics
