Notes from a 1997 meeting with Exodus.net to talk about this new little thing called the Internet

12.31.2007

Working as a graphic designer for print back in 1997, I eventually hooked up with a guy at an ISP called Exodus down in Irvine. I guy named Glenn whiteboarded the existing infrastructure of the Internet in the continental United States, mapping out the IXPs and NAPs. I jotted a few things down.

My rent check from the Fall of 1987

12.31.2007

I can’t believe I had some of these old personal checks still stashed away from my days up at Chico State University. AS IF I WOULD EVER NEED THEM.

What midnight means

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” – Bill Vaughan

Cho Cool

12.30.2007

1991. A group of dudes and I were in Audio Physics 331, a required technical course that was part of our larger Music curriculum. Our professor was a dude that asked us all to call him Cho. Not Mr. Cho, not Professor Cho, not Sir Cho. We didn’t even know if Cho was his first [...]

2007 Logo Trends

12.30.2007

An interesting study in the evolution of logo design, and trends. Some that are popping up a lot lately include Rubber Bands, Urban Vinyl, and Descending Dots. Via logolounge.com; I’m a big fan of their books.

Archie

12.30.2007

So last night Eric and I shot over to our local watering hole, the Village Pub. I saw a dude there that I knew, but he didn’t recognize me. I had to say something. Me: Archie? Is that you? The dude’s eyes get about four inches wide. Dude: How do you know that name? Nobody’s [...]

So who else is ready for 2008?

Let’s do this. Cheers.

Romantic Love in the Western Tradition: cheat sheets

12.29.2007

In 1991 I enrolled myself in a required upper division Humanities course that fit into my schedule. This one was called Romantic Love in the Western Tradition. We spent the whole semester reading classic Romantic-era fiction while trying to find some sort of meaning under all the fluffy bullshit. I just found these two 3×5 [...]

Gramma, 1942

12.29.2007

My paternal grandmother. She’d be twenty years old. Kauai.

Christmas, 1972

12.28.2007

From Honolulu. Me, Terri, Debbi, Christine’s Aunt Terri, Sean: Yours truly, Christine, Uncle Sonny, Auntie Joni. That’d be my mom in the background: Notice the t-shirt. No matter what happens in this corporate world of ours, may I never forget my undying allegiance to the M-Man.

Maternal great-grandfathers and company

12.27.2007

My maternal great-grandfather, Ernest W. Freeman. My mom dad’s dad. The kids called him “Big PopPop”. (Wow, I see my cousin Sarah):

1991 Hottie

12.27.2007

Well, what have we here. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Check out this piece of work from what would have to be 1991, taking orders from the photographer like a trooper. I know it was a long time ago, and it’s getting pretty late, and I’m a little drunk right now, but what [...]

Inception

12.26.2007

From 1990, my Audio Physics lab book. A cool subject, but I apparently had my mind on other things. The doodle here is one of the first attempts at realizing the metaphor behind this and this.

For a Special Grandson

12.26.2007

This is great. My birthday cards for both 1987 and 1988, from my maternal Granny and Grandpa. Just found ‘em during this life-changing purge of the garage attic. First, 1987: And now, 1988: They’ve always been so practical. God bless ‘em.
