If you can conjure fond memories of Commander Keen, .arj files, nc (one of my favorite utils), shareware like SCAN108.ZIP (yea, probably in caps)... you probably spent a fair bit of time at the C:\> prompt when you weren't dialed into your favorite BBS. And like me, you're getting old :-)
#ThrowbackThursday
Flashback to August 8, 2019, when a top-tier 1 TB SSD was $107.99 with free shipping.
Crucial was a brand known for top-quality consumer products at competitive prices. They are no more as Micron ended the brand at the end of 2025 to shift production to enterprise parts for AI data centers. Another casualty of the global warming bullshit machine.
I took this screenshot on August 8, 2019, before buying one.

#throwback to March 5, 2024, when I found this "crime-scene tape" at a #Goodwill store. 🧻
Maybe the real crime is that this precious item ended up at a Goodwill. 🤔
Or that I took this picture. Or that I'm making this post. 😵

I am so sad and annoyed this morning.
They are topping more trees in Cathedral Grove.
The place that was literally shown to the world during the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Olympics now has dozens of headless 30-50ft tall, 300 year old, stumps.
Because “safety”, I assume.
There has been a road through this park for 100 years, but it took until the 2020s for someone to decide there were “danger trees”.
We’re all idiots.
I am going to try to take a picture this morning of the new cuts but it is all blocked off as they work so it will be hard or impossible. I’ll do my best.
What are we doing. Why are we like this? 😢
The photo is from earlier this year. Most of the headless trees are along the road, but not all. This shows one along the walking path.

How much household stuff can you move across 8 states, 1600 miles, in a Chevy Sonic? 🚗
A lot as my wife and I established in Nov. 2020 at the height of COVID. 🗓️ #throwback
Anyway, sad to say goodbye to that car today. 🎁 #donation

Jan. 9, 2025: A vibrant portrait of Krishna and his consort Rukmini. I found it stashed behind stuff on top of a storage closet at an office in #Udupi #Krishna Matha, #India.
