My Birthday is July 31st.

	Hello, Remember Wish Lists? As kids, we sweated bullets over filling our lists with stuff we might actually have some hope of receiving, and stuff our friends and family would never buy us. Well, I was visiting the Amazon.com site, and started my own Wish List. Check it out and then create one for yourself if you haven't already! Best Wishes, Michael R. Barrick See Michael R.

25 Years Later

1977 Commodore PET

Twenty-five years ago when I was hacking away on one of these beasties I never imagined that I would be sitting here watching a movie on my computer, talking to friends thousands of miles away, manipulating photographs, and writing in my journal all at the same time on a computer, not to mention making my living off of the absurd things. But here I am. An interesting toy, a glorified calculator (actually my calculator has more RAM than a PET), has now become the cornerstone of my life. It's marvellous and absurd.
