Not archaeology, reality.

I opened this on my Mac to check something, and I decided to share it. In addition to this on the Mac, I have a similar emulator on my iPhone, and my 40 year-old HP 11C on my shelf.

(Grabs physical HP 11C, hits ON. Yup, current batteries are still good. They last years.)

From the Archives (June 2009): Billy looking disapprovingly at me because I was looking at pictures of cats and not instead looking at (and petting) real cats.

Billy rarely had a disapproving look, so I must've really been in trouble.

From the archives (June 2004): End of the month they arrived, the two Kittenzillas peacefully co-existing with Her Emilyness.

About then we realized the kittens, smaller than Emily at arrival, would grow up into the Brothers Catzilla.

Fortunately, Emily taught them manners when they were little.

From the archives (April 2014):

When I joined Google, I had 2 months training in California. The MINI was shipped west to frolic w/me in CA. I was going to drive it to Seattle after training.

Plans changed; the MINI went directly to Seattle.

But it did get to frolic in CA on a 2014 trip to SF. 😀
