this is kinda wild
10M people watched a YouTuber shim a lock; the lock company sued him. Bad idea.
It’s still legal to pick locks, even when you swing your legs.

I didn't dive in as hard. I do remember getting online in 94. my ex and I left San Francisco for Philly for her to attend med school. one of our friends bought us a modem to allow us to stay in touch. I recall discovering @justinreach.bsky.social's Proto-Blog early on and being fascinated by it.

I wrote about what it was like to go online for the first time 30 years ago. How hard and complicated it seemed, and then how amazing this entirely new world was. Including some extracts from my 1995 diary.
