Point of View: The Year That Was

by
2022 - deposit photos

2022 was A LOT. To finish out the year, Mark and I both have the virus. As the last wave subsided in late summer, we slowly allowed ourselves to get back to normal, even if we took it slow, still wearing masks indoors, except when it was quiet enough in the cafe or restaurant we were visiting. And eventually giving them up altogether in restaurants, because, hey, at 5 PM they’re deserted anyway, right? Until this last week, when holiday-goers packed those same places, even in the early evening, and the rise in local cases finally caught up with us. … Read more

nostalgia / clocks / time - deposit photos

Last week, I took a look at some of the sci-fi gadgets, discoveries and trends that are propelling us into a sci-fi, and why they are more disappointing (and in some cases frightening) than I hoped they would be. Today I’m taking a deep dive in the opposite directory, remembering my past, and thinking about some of the things we have left behind.

Radio, record album, and cassette tape (okay, 8-track was a thing too, but it was already fading by the time I arrived on … Read more
