Got an email that it was 22 years ago that I started a LiveJournal. 😃 For a number of years in the 2000s, “LJ” was the main place I shared my thoughts and general posts. I did set it up as “blog . danyork . com”… and I remember many conversations there. After it was sold to a Russian media company in 2007, I started to phase out my usage. The last time I really used it was 2008.
Now… it is a trip into the past:

Someone I know was subjected to racist slurs, brutally beaten, and nearly killed for standing in solidarity with Palestine in the early 2000s.

Google's annoying attempts to opt one into "AI mode" are reminding me of the colorful popups of the early 2000s.

Back in the 2000s, I remember having several conversations along the lines of "Could we fire all the developers and just get off-shore Indian developers to write the code cheaper?"

Anybody remember Pegasus Mail? I've used it for what must have been a decade in the 90s and early 2000s. It still exists and there were still updates in 2025! Kudos.

I’m not a fan of New Years Eve shenanigans, but this year I saw something new: fireworks reflecting in solar panels.

Taking up all the remaining oxygen in the room right now is AI hype,
exemplified by Jared Kaplan, who is quoted in this article:
-- ⭐️ --
"I spoke to Jared Kaplan, co-founder of Anthropic, the company behind the chatbot Claude.
He was a physicist the last time we spoke.
As a grad student at Harvard in the 2000s, he worked with the renowned theorist Nima Arkani-Hamed to open up the new directions in amplitude research that are being actively pursued today.

And here's the tech industry's greatest revolutionary inventions
1980s: personal computers
1990s: the Internet
2000s: supercomputers in your pocket
2010s: fake money
2020s: vibe palaver

Anyone remember OpenNebula? Anyone have comments? I remember running it WAAAY long ago (2000s?) and now I need a replacement for VMware. (Professional, Higher Ed) Its a small (3 node) cluster under and really just ESXi hypervisor for HA. Nothing fancy. Going to look at Proxmox too.

We've been watching through that show What I Like About You and it's been funny to see the Strokes, Hot Hot Heat, and Zwan mentions and posters in their rooms 😂 Ah, the early 2000s.

This was both my ringtone & ringback tone in the early 2000s when the 1st Pocket PC phones emerged.
Whenever my phone would ring, people around me would always turn & laugh.

Legacy IRC Botnet Leverages Automated SSH Exploit Pipeline to Mass-Enroll Linux Hosts
Identified through data captured by our SSH honeypots over two months, this campaign represents a sophisticated blend of eras. It merges “old-school” Internet Relay Chat (IRC) botnet tactics from the late 2000s with modern, automated mass-compromise techniques.

I'm looking for a reliable sporty older sedan in the year range of 2000s to 2010s. What are your best recommendations?

Remember "43 People"? It was a spin-off of 43 Things from Robot Co-op and it was pretty cool for web nerds of the 2000s.

@… As a long-time Atari XL and ST user I love the fact that software easter eggs likely got their name by way of Atari.

I remember in the early 2000s how I loved making sure there was an easter egg in most hobby websites I built. Usually a keypress combination. It seems like Google/Alphabet is the primary software company keeping to this …

If you watched cartoons in the 90s or early 2000s, you probably heard some of Guy Moon's amazing theme songs and scores. Guy passed away earlier this month after injuries from a car accident- I wrote this short piece over at Animated TV Blog to commemorate his work: https://animatedtvblo…

Finally found a nice set of the matching speakers for the iMac G4.
The aluminum boxes they sell today can’t hold a candle against early 2000s Apple design.

Trump's constant crapping himself in public these days is from his drug use.
Noel Casler, former staffer on NBC's The Apprentice said, back in the 2000s, Trump's drug use made him incontinent & they had staff dedicated to 'wiping & changing him' when he'd crap himself on set.
