the rix mix

Pleasant surprise, young co-worker from the office at Pearl Arts & Crafts store popped out of nowhere & found me on Facebook. To show I remembered her, I posted this snapshot from Rahway River Park, which she had liked so much she took it away from me & tacked it up by her desk.

That was long ago in technology years, toward the end of Clinton era, when some of younger employees left their PCs online all night to download a single rock song, then still a novel way to get music, dial up was common & broadband prohibitively expensive for many. This photo was cheaply processed by Kodak to print & floppy disk, a nice convenience despite the lower picture quality, it's always been in the pc photo folder. What we have now are impressive but recognizable improvements on what existed then, we're not much surprised by anything. But the Internet sits smack in the middle of the 90's, a geek topic at the start of the decade, revolutionary at the end.

I was at least one layer of clothing short of comfort outside when the wind kicked up tonight.
