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.
