Sorry, I was feeling anti-social -- and anti-social-media.

I've been a book guy since I could hold one, a cat guy for 20+ years, and an (initially reluctant) Oxford comma-er for five or six years, but I just can't get excited about scones.

Where and when are you going to be in the Bay Area? Will there be a meet-n-greet opportunity?

Oh god I'm turning into a prog guy. I'm middle-aged and I've got the beard, I guess it was inevitable.

The X song is even more confusing because at some point "off the hook" started to mean "good" or "superlative" rather than "no longer culpable".

I've got a whole mental collection of song references to old-skool telephones that "kids these days" just won't get. One of the best is a track that uses the loud "you left the phone off the hook" beeping as a background sound.

I had never heard of Vaporeon before this week, but this is my third reference to the character being sexy. Maybe I hang out in the wrong places?

First computer I used was an IMSAI 8080 with a dot matrix printer terminal. Wasted a lot of paper playing Wumpus and Star Trek.
First computer that was mine was a TRS 80 Model I with a whopping 4K of RAM. Wrote my own extremely cheesy "video game" in BASIC.
