Lately I’ve been nostalgic, I guess, about how tech was in the 90s. It was less glamorous, less usable, but also way more human and civil. Everyone was just into technology and sharing cool stuff.

This little corner of the web kind of feels like that sometimes.

    May I also ☎️ call you on the telephone using a local phone number? That’s what I would do when I couldn’t connect to the local dial-up bbs. I would bring pizza over, btw, and we’d figure out what DIP Switch settings were needed on my 2400 baud modem, to connect.

      If you’re within pizza-bringing distance, yes. Though my wife might be weirded out by it.
