  • We have similar stories! Except I was way out in the country where the fastest internet available was 26.4kbps dialup (the phone lines were too old to support anything faster and there was no cable). Mine was an overclocked 486 IBM clone with 8mb ram and like 600 or 800 MB HD.

    I recently saw a colleague post on that one professional network that “he guessed he wouldn’t get to write code himself anymore”. That’s depressing as hell to me. Everyone’s minds work differently. I find that writing code gives me new ideas that I wouldn’t have come to otherwise. It’s a loss of creative process. And it’s tragic. Like sometime saying “I guess we won’t paint any paintings ourselves anymore”. What an incredible tragedy.












  • at this point, most of us were born into it.

    by the time we were born, it was so entrenched nothing but horrible bloodshed could change it.

    we’ve been inundated with news and media since early childhood not to rise up for that change and many of us have (until recently) been left comfortable enough that we don’t want to risk what remains.

    we’ve been made to believe (by the aforementioned propaganda) that we can vote in real change. some of us still want this to be true. it’s becoming apparent this may not be the case. we’re terrified.
