#Mayllennial – Chat Rooms

Plenty of people use Discord these days, which is literally just the modern chat room. But this concept has existed essentially since the start of the internet. And even before. There was a time in High School, where my friend and I figured out how to directly call each other over the computer to chat online. I mean, we could have just called each other, especially since we were doing it over dial up modems, but it was new and techy and super cool! We also used a few BBS systems that had a chat feature. I used to use…

#Mayllennial – Joint Pain

I feel like I am fairly fortunate. So far, I mostly manage to avoid joint pain. I sort of have a knee thing that comes up for like a day every couple of months, but its not terrible and I probably just sat on it funny. I do feel it when I over exert, like recently dealing with water in the basement put me out for a few days, but that was more muscle than joint issues. On the other hand, I have a lot of second hand experience with joint pain through my wife and her EDS. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome…

#Mayllennial – Y2K

I honestly don't remember a ton about Y2K other than it was a thing. Its actually a little odd because I have always been into technology so it feels like a subject I would have cared about. But then, maybe knowing about technology helped me to understand the problem.and how fixable it was and, at the very least, understand how it was not going to be the end of the world. I don't even remember where I was during New Years Eve that year, but I have never been much of a "party person". The main thing I think of…

#Mayllennial – 2000s Fashion

I am not really a "fashion person" at least I don't think, and I kind of though, "I have no idea what 2000s fashion even is". But then I did some image searches and it turns out I do know what 2000s fashion is, because in typical fashion, I have apparently not really evolved much past it. I mean look at this dork in his awesome shirt from back in 2003. I want an awesome shirt lie that. For men, I got primarily graphic t-shirts with long sleeve undershirts or graphic t-shirts with collared over shirts. And basically, both of…

#Mayllennial – Mix Tape

Hey look, another post that was vaguely pre teased by the MS Paint post. Mixtapes! Sure, I had CDs when I was making mix tapes, but my old Isuzu Trooper only had a cassette deck. Come to think of it, the Mustang I had after only had a cassette deck too. I had a silly tape adapter to play CDs from a portable player, but still didn't have a CD burner until much later. So tapes it was. I still have some of mine. I even have a tape player to play them on. But I don't have a proper…
