My new official conference watch, found at Value Village. It can&#39;t compare to @kdriscoll&#39;s swatch, but it&#39;s very Me.

Good to know they made these for every kind of then-new technology.

I think I know for sure now that my transformation into a historian is now complete, because I read this (very good and timely, to be clear!) package of stories and still thought, &quot;Would it be too much to ask to historicize this wave of events beyond the mid-2010s? With, y&#39;know, a history book?&quot; I have, I fear, become my academic parents. https://www.theverge.com/cs/features/777087/trans-internet-privacy-safety-anonymity-ai

It&#39;s late in the day to share, but a Happy Holidays wish from me and Santa&#39;s daisy wheel printer. (From Sandra Boynton&#39;s book Christmastime (1987))

Found this at a Free Book Fair held by great local used bookstore Page 42 (www.page42bookstore.com). It was in a box of random media and I grabbed it because, why not? No cartridge, but...it had the original owner&#39;s painstakingly hand-drawn level maps on graph paper, including coffee (?) stains. They even have added coordinates for easy referencing. #videogames #rpg #retrogames

@kdriscoll I think only you will be interested in this find, but I had to share it with someone. I didn&#39;t *need* it, but it was $1. I couldn&#39;t resist.
