I could go for some gum right now…

Got the idea from a BBS I frequent (for those who know the backstory, it’s sort of a second-generation version of the BBS on which I “met” Sarah back in 1994). Now that I have a tripod, this sort of … Continue reading

a lot can change in 20 or 30 years

My dad’s friend created a DVD full of scans of old slides for him; these are some of my favorites of the batch. Click any of these for a closer look or this link to see a slideshow on flickr.

it’s nice to hang out with your work peeps now and then
