I’ve been waiting for this for a couple of days: this was my child‘s room, taken in the mid-1990 when I discovered the magic of the Internet (and AOL). I listened to American radio stations, mainly from the Pacific North-West, because they had the best rock and grunge (in my opinion). I’m not exactly sure how I found Bad Religion (and later Green Day), but that was the punk of my time.
PS I also had one floppy disk where I stored pics with the hot guys found online. About 30 or so and then the disk was full.
Taking us back to the mystical year of 2017, when our phones still had these magically useful features called "headphone jacks".
It's important to know a reviewer's specialty. Even reviewing something mass market, like phones or tablets, it's easy for an expert in one area to miss details in other areas.
Unfortunately, things like audio performance REGULARLY fell through the reviewer cracks.
Today, to replicate the performance of a phone like the LG V30 (new when this article was published), you'd have to spend roughly $150 on a dongle that flops around on your charge port. Reviewers overlooked a premium feature then, that we can't easily replace today.
My first time ever on a TV set, I was nervous, intimated & worried about making foolish mistakes.
My union crew encouraged, mentored, & celebrated having having a real-life scientist working on their show. They’re why I was far more confident my first time on set for my next show!
#ThrowbackThursday to my first days on set overlooking the Stargate: Atlantis gateroom vs revelling in Destiny’s gateroom my first day on set for Stargate: Universe.
Back in the day, toddlers in Florida were often posed with giant stuffed gators.
This is my mom. I have to wonder how the little ones felt about all this. Probably scared sh**less.
#ThrowbackThursday: I'm reading @debcha's "How Infrastructure Works" and she opens with one of the best days of my life: when I got to walk on the Zakim Bridge in Boston, MA. We had come early and were surprised at the line, but astonished at how ridiculously long it was when we left. https://flic.kr/p/tWo6RG
My dad, my sister, my mother and myself walking along a path up in Puncak (the mountains south of Bogor where expats and well-off residents rented bungalows for the weekend).
1969 maybe? How old do I look there?
(and I'm not going to go into analysis of how our walking arrangement could be seen to reflect what was going on in our family at the time, fully unknown to me then of course)
Puppy Ajax and me with more hair and a thinner frame. My face definitely looks more weathered now.
Ajax is going on 12 years old and seemingly very healthy and can still clear a chain link fence when deer walk by. He's in the banner picture on my profile.
