<p>a few years ago i mentioned that i wrote a book about the exciting, awkward and embarrassing experiences of growing up with computers and video games in the 80s and 90s.</p><p>i wanted to remember what it felt like being the only dorky computer kid at school. or what it was like to hear my first modem handshake sound. or starting the first flamewar on the school&#x27;s national FirstClass BBS in the macintosh lab over the lunch-hour</p><p>it was originally something i wrote only for my family and friends who were there at the time. </p><p>and then i met all of you folks when i started my first masto instance 4 years ago. i had no idea there were so many hardcore retrocomputing and gaming nerds out there; unix and mac and ms-dos folks alike.</p><p>so i mentioned it casually. i was surprised by the interest in the book. </p><p>so i spent the better part of the past 3 years rewriting the book for *you* fellow mastodon dorkus malorkuses. the book is a celebration of all of the best (and worst) parts of a kid growing up in the digital age. </p><p>we&#x27;re all busy old tired stressed folks now. so every memory and cringetacular story is short enough to read on a 5 minute bus/metro/toilet ride. they&#x27;re weaved together into an arc that starts at my family&#x27;s first Tandy TRS-80 and ends at my school&#x27;s Mac LC II and building my first Pentium 133.</p><p>it&#x27;s finally published, and i&#x27;m super proud of what it became thanks to everyone here nerding out for years.</p><p>enjoy the book. i wrote it just for you. ❤️ </p><p>paperback edition: <a href="https://mybook.to/EDuUf" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>mybook.to/EDuUf</a></p><p>DRM-free ebook (EPUB format) and chapter samples here:<br><a href="https://tomotama.itch.io/mages-modems" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>tomotama.itch.io/mages-modems</a></p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/indiepublisher/" rel="tag">#indiePublisher</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/author/" rel="tag">#author</a> <a href="/tags/macintosh/" rel="tag">#macintosh</a> <a href="/tags/vintageapple/" rel="tag">#vintageApple</a> <a href="/tags/vintagecomputing/" rel="tag">#vintageComputing</a> <a href="/tags/msdos/" rel="tag">#msdos</a> <a href="/tags/dosgaming/" rel="tag">#dosGaming</a> <a href="/tags/yeg/" rel="tag">#yeg</a> <a href="/tags/canada/" rel="tag">#canada</a> <a href="/tags/alberta/" rel="tag">#alberta</a> <a href="/tags/bbs/" rel="tag">#bbs</a> <a href="/tags/smolweb/" rel="tag">#smolWeb</a> <a href="/tags/indieweb/" rel="tag">#indieWeb</a></p>

<p>Went to an aquarium supply store last night and was delighted to see the staff in N95 masks and all customers still required to wear masks also. I wish I saw more places still doing this. The sign behind the till particularly got me 😂</p><p>“COVID-19 SURCHARGES<br>$50 If we have to explain about masks<br>$100 If we have to hear why you disagree”</p><p>Anyway if you need any fish-related supplies, go support Aquarium Central. 🫧🐠🐟🐠🐟</p><p><a href="/tags/yeg/" rel="tag">#YEG</a> <a href="/tags/covidisnotover/" rel="tag">#CovidIsNotOver</a></p>
