Ha ha!

I remember discovering Slashdot in '97 or '98, at my first job out of college, a dot-com job. What a crazy time. How can it have been so long? Twenty years since my first concert - the first Lollapalooza, more than ten years since Fight Club came out, Steve Jobs resigning - but I still have two shares of Apple I bought back then at $32. I still remember the Slashdot blue-green (same as it is today, but without the gradient ;) ) and how every post, and every comment (above 3 or so) was SO smart and thought-provoking. It blew my mind. I've read Slashdot both more and less over the years... but I'm still reading. It'll be a little strange not seeing the CmdrTaco handle anymore, but life goes on. Best wishes, Rob. Anyways I have added you on my newfangled Google Plus. :)

Some people do spend 14 years in grad school, though!
