December 2001.
Holy shit. It’s been a decade since I started blogging. The world had just learned that Al’Qaeda meant business. Britney Spears hadn’t gone crazy or turned to sourdough yet. CNN was still a decent news outlet. Jennifer Lopez hadn’t even started dating Ben Affleck. Most people I talked to didn’t quite understand my obsession with “that Internet”. There was no Twitter. There was no Facebook.
It’s crazy how much a decade has changed the way we communicate and interact. When I started blogging I could (and did) talk smack about people in my life secure in the knowledge that they would never see it. Nowadays I know when half my friends are taking a poop, as it is happening. Come to think of it, that might be a sign to make new friends, or return to talking smack about poop-tweeters. (Or maybe I should just count my blessings that those people haven’t discovered Instagram yet?)
Cracked me up! Congrats on 10 years. Wow!
So where’s the wayback link to the old content? Inquiring minds want to see what Dinosaur wordpress was like!
