It’s late and I should be in bed. I’ve been throwing away old crap. Saw the movie Memento earlier this evening and it made me realize that I tend to forget
things and then remember them when I touch some item from my past. I have a 1976 Astroworld season pass that I found again. Could’t throw that away.
I have a 386 chip I got in the late 80’s which I hung from the light in my closet.
I thought I was Mr. Bad Ass with his rare 386 chip just hanging like it was a disco ball.
Back then the chips were over a thousand dollars each. However, this particular chip had failed testing
so it really wasn’t worth that much. I didn’t toss that. I did toss thousands of feet of wire, unknown power supplies, convention crap, and tape backups from
1993. I trust that nothing happened in 1993 that I’d need to save or restore, anyway. There are some old files on my TI Professional I need to snag, but that’s up
in the attic waiting in the hypersleep chamber. I dismantled my bunkbed and stored it away for the first time ever. Bleah. Lost my virginity on that stupid thing.
Could it have been at a nice hotel or in a fancy car or in the middle of the woods on a picnic table? Nooooo. Okay, fine, too much sharing. I guess I can’t
mention mother’s day now that I’ve mentioned my virginity. Heh.
