  • You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.

    As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.

    Remember when email was useful? I remember when it was magical!

    Time for a story from the ancient times. I had this idea and asked my professor for advice. He said he knew a person on the other side of the world who would know all about it. “This is his ‘email’ address.”

    I had never heard about ‘email’ so I needed to learn what it was and how to send one. I wrote my message and off it went. The very next morning I had a reply. One of the best experts on a topic I was keen about had shared their thoughts from the other side of the world, just like that.

    In that time, a long time ago as you’ll appreciate, that interaction was magical.

    In an instant I understood the power of the Usenet. A while later and with a couple of additional protocols they started calling that the Internet.
