As someone who still has Lockergnome emails from 2001 (and some replies from you) reading this newsletter put a smile on my face. I've never left, even if I didn't have time to click every video, but being a fan of your writing, this simply "feels" better. I'm sure I'm in the minority with that stance.
I dusted the cobwebs off my Mastodon account recently and have requested an archive of my Twitter data. I have signed on to a few instances as I look for the one that I'd like to make my "permanent" home. For now, mastodon.social will do just fine.
Thank you. Tech is always an enabler for me, though - less about what it is, more about what it does. Hence, always looking to help + connect. My passion is community, using tech to build it.
Over the years I've been behind the scenes making sure our message boards and forums for our podcast kept chugging along. Right now we're using Slack to chat with patrons and I'm toying with the idea of maybe creating a Mastodon instance. Because folks love that connectivity. And the ability to communicate with like-minded friends.
Concepts are cool and even cooler is when you can take tech to make those concepts a reality.
Well, this was nice.

Thanks for everything, Chris. I appreciate you.

It's been quite a journey, eh?
It really has.
The fact that you were so transparent with everything going on in your life way back then made me follow you wherever you went.
I'm pretty sure I still have those blog themes and templates on a hard drive somewhere.
You make tech fun, dude.

And it totally shows. Always has.
