Cake day: October 3rd, 2025
  • In the early 00’s, we put DSL on a business card shaped cdrw and carried them around. When it would get too hot outside we’d go to the library and boot into Linux, bypassing the software firewalls they were running and download as much music as we could to a tape drive. It took a few weekends to get the drivers and software right but it worked and was so much faster than our home connections. $5 got you top10 hits from any genre you wanted. We thought we were SO smart like we invented bootlegging.

  • Even just being in public. I tried it for one day at Panera while I was writing a professional review. People kept coming up to talk to me, I couldn’t tune the noise out, and I was uncomfortable in their wood chairs.

    I’m convinced those suits in Starbucks are just trawling for chicks.
