I have just written a kind of a to-do list where the word "haircut" has ended up with beside it the number "100".

This fluke has made me alarmingly happy and I shall hum an appropriate tune all day, while avoiding any scary lakes.

I miss BASIC. I miss just using a CLI. I miss the gateway to entry on the Internet being able to cobble together TCP/IP support for your dialup modem.

Maybe this is just old man yelling at iCloud, but I really think we lost something when we commodified technology.

Surely: this way to the help yourself Wall's Viennetta?

@neil I remember when we were camping in France with a boy scouts group and made reverse-charge calls home to Germany from a phone booth in Bretagne. We were half a dozen boys in a row and there was a single operator I think and at some point she asked how many more of us are still waiting in line 😁

Ok yeah. I’m in!

@lucasarts_places That was such an iconic art style back then. One day you only knew 16 color EGA Commander Keen and the next day your eyes would be able to experience these 256 colors. #80sKid

So TIL that an apparently self deprecating #DeaconBlue lyric I have always adored is not:
Oh, Sid James, my biggest influence
but actually:
Homesick James…

My apologies to Fergus, whose blues icons make a hell of a lot more sense now.
And to Ricky Ross.

I woulda loved the disco.. hair metal didn't have the same vibe. #80sKid #Catitstu

Having some real E.T. flashbacks here as the workers get started on the roof! (It's like this all around the house... the dog is going nutso) #80sKid

37 years ago today (April 19) in 1987, the first Simpsons short "Good Night" aired on The Tracey Ullman show. I wasn't watching (I was 7), but I was watching when the Simpsons aired as its own series a couple years later.

The A-Team from the 1980s is my favorite TV show, and they had these big hardcover 'Annual' books they'd put out for it. I just discovered the one from 1984 is at the Internet Archive, and if you log in, you can 'borrow' it for an hour (and every hour it resets) and flip through all the scanned pages. It's totally wild.

Some screenshots are below, but check out the full thing here, once you log in: https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780723567172/page/24/mode/2up

What we really need is an absolutely stunningly gorgeous hardcover edition of DIE UNENDLICHE GESCHICHTE / THE NEVERENDING STORY by Michael Ende.

I feel that this would solve a lot of issues.

I'd like to have these two as actual doorknockers to be honest, but for that I'd actually need a door of my own so for now these will suffice!

I've just realised that I've officially passed over the 'Michael Madsen Line'.

Yes. I'm now older than Michael Madsen was during filming for the 1993 film #FreeWilly

I guess it's over? The slow decline is officially upon me.
