This post on #HistoryOfTheWeb captures exactly what keeps bringing me back to Mastodon. It feels like the early web - a little clunky, kind of weird, but a place for us to start anew away from mainstream culture.

“The web is a fascinating technology. I myself am frequently enamored with its inner workings. So much so that it’s easy to forget that it’s simply the medium. It’s what we fill it with that counts. And when someone takes the time to add something extraordinary, we should all take the time to appreciate it.”

in the the book “Where The Wizards Stay Up Late” on the origin of the Internet (p72) several computer scientists from East and West coast met in 1967 to discuss connecting multiple computers across the states. Most of them were skeptical and their reasoning is funny once you consider the Internet we know today. One said “what have you got on your computer that I could use?” Another: “why would I need any I need anyone else’s computer when I’ve got everything right here?” #historyoftheweb

Let's do this #introductions thing again. Mine was in 2018, so it's time for a refresher.

Still in #Utrecht. Still digging the #indieweb. Still #blogging. Always #running. Love #streetart.

Gets into #arcadegames, #retrogaming and the #historyOfTheWeb.

Learning to play #Go (or #weichi / #weiqi) but I still lose every game.

Trying to get into #MiniatureUrbanSculptures and #diorama.
