35 years ago, my dad chose an Intel 80386 over a typewriter – and sparked a lifelong obsession. With 1 MB RAM, a 40 MB hard drive, and a color CRT monitor, I was completely hooked. Within weeks, I had figured out COM1 vs. LPT1 and was obsessively tweaking autoexec.bat and config.sys for expanded memory. While friends played on C64s and Ataris, this was my true beginning in tech. #RetroComputing #DOS #Intel386 #VintageTech #Memories

93-year-old's 'lifetime of memories' piled on a curb in St. Catharines, Ont., after flooding Generations' worth of memories were laid out on Mary Winning's curb in St. Catharines, Ont., on Sunday in a jumbled mess of sewage-soiled mementoes, furniture, boxes and bags. The 93-year-old's home was flooded twice in five days during back-to-back storms.

In 2012, I got the chance to meet Kurtwood Smith, known for his role as Eric's dad on "That 70s Show.” He was making a stop at the Democratic party's headquarters in town.I talked to him about "That 70s Show" and a movie he had recently done with Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins about the filming of "Psycho.” He said he only had three scenes in the movie. I told him it may have been three scenes but ya have to make 'em count. He looked at me and said, "Brian, you're absolutely right.” #Memories

A Jump in My Chair Thunder, a jump in my chair, pasta on my trousers. I smile. Sixteen years ago, on a riverbank, the same sound meant something else entirely. https://my-notes.dragas.net/2026/07/27/a-jump-in-my-chair/ #MyNotes #Blogging #Memories

As I often do out here on deck this time of year I think of the last time I hung out at a bar with my oldest son Ryan in Merrill, Wisconsin; it was early June, 2006, and he was home for his only leave before he’d have to ship back to SW Asia to finish his deployment. We shot pool, smoked cigars and he turned me onto this band he’d been listening to. A couple months later, he was gone forever. His favorite off that album. #MusicOfMastodon#Wolfmother#Memories

Replying to
@SteveClough@metalhead.club @yourfutureex@metalhead.club I always have an #earworm — there's always music going through my head — so getting rid of an earworm is a matter of replacing it with another one, which I can do by playing a song I like better. As for embarrassing childhood #memories: self-compassion helps. I remind myself that I can't change the past, I forgive myself (without making excuses) for whatever I did wrong, and I use my adult's-eye view to recognise that, when people told me it was all my fault, it very often wasn't.

My Fog An old, blurry photo brings back the memory of a walk through the thick fog - a protective blanket where the world fades away, sounds are muffled, and the only certainty left is your own thoughts. https://my-notes.dragas.net/2026/07/09/my-fog/ #MyNotes #Blogging #Fog #Memories #Life #Reflections
