Haha…oh man, I didn't realize the title of the post was a line from the video….I love when the blond guy cuts off the girl talking about emails being translated.

I had to watch "You've Got Mail" with my GF a while ago. Even though I thought it was a lame Chick-flick, it was pretty entertaining to see how far we've come on the web…

What the heck. This really just happen. The guy on the other side of the wall in my dorm must be using AOL. I just heard "you've got mail" I feel like I have transported back in time. Did that really just happen?

1995. I remember listening to an Internet broadcast from Europe. I knew what radio was. I knew what tv was. How was this possible? I yelled to my wife, "Honey, you're not going to believe this." She shrugged.

1996, Boston MA. 1st Internet symposium. There was all this talk about mobile Internet. Yeah, right? Not in our lifetime, I thought.

Yes, the Internet is amazing. It's technology, at a whole 'nutha level. In the end, though, it's just a tool, isn't it?

One of my first real experiences with the internet was napster
I remember setting up all these downloads for over night because we had a 56K connection and waking up in the morning to discover the goodness that was going to be had that day listening to a new hoobastank album or whoever else.

Also, I remember playing counter-strike for hours upon hours
