Well that kind of snuck up on me. I wish I could’ve timed it better to coincide with a better life event such as my 20th anniversary as an official Apple employee (next week) or something more worthy (wedding, birthday).
Still I’m thrilled, proud and inspired to pull it off. I only wish this tech were around 25 years earlier to document my time in Austin, plus other concerts, movies and people. It would’ve helped me pass the time more creatively than the days I instead wasted playing Spaceward Ho! on my PowerBook 140.
Picayune has evolved over its 13-14 years too. Not just how and where it was hosted, the Categories on the side have changed. They’re due for an adjustment as our culture of streaming TV/Film dominates and a couple other areas haven’t had anything new in years; I miss Somara’s Cakes but she has lost interest in decorating. The latter I’m thinking about relegating to an Archive section with what they used to cover being sub-categories.
If you’ve stuck by me reading this and commenting, thanks a bunch. Picayune frequently feels like I’m throwing dozens of messages in a bottle, hoping someone reads them. Sometimes it happened! Back when the site was more wide open to comments, a very nice stranger threw in their two cents about Crowded House! Maybe I will get more in the near future as my friends retire. Yeah, right. Who will have time then? We’ll probably be pre-occupied with fleeing to and fighting over the world’s scarce resources thanks to Trumpkins, Republicans and NeoLiberals. I for one prefer to welcome our alien overlords Kang and Kodos to solve the problems.
On to six and ten thousand!
