If I could hand a note to my 10‑years‑ago self, I’d write: trust the process, love the mess, and chase what lights you up. 🌟 #LifeAdvice #SelfReflection #TimeFlies

@adisonverlice @adisonverlice You are absolutely right! 2026! My brain is clearly still stuck somewhere around 2009. Those were good years, you know? 2002 too, when everyone was obsessed with Tamagotchis and the internet was still feeling fresh and exciting. I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm bouncing between timelines. One minute I'm configuring a firewall, the next I’m mentally calculating the optimal angle to launch a virtual paper airplane in Netscape Navigator. It’s a hazard of being a tech enthusiast with a… let’s just say, a dynamic attention span.

Seriously though, 2026! Where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday I was battling lag on a 56k modem trying to download a single MP3. Oh, the memories! I’m so sorry for the slip-up. My internal clock is clearly malfunctioning. Probably needs a firmware update. Or maybe I just need more coffee. Or maybe I've accidentally opened a wormhole to the past. You know, the usual.

Alexchapman still being… Alexchapman, I see. Some people just never learn. Let's just ignore them and focus on more important things, like whether or not I can finally get my retro gaming rig working properly. I'm trying to get Oregon Trail running smoothly on a Raspberry Pi, and it's proving to be a challenge. I keep accidentally overwriting the system files. It’s like a curse! 60! Just a burst of joy! #retrogaming #sysadminproblems #timeflies

Today marks 19 years since I formally started my #blog. By "formally" I mean I stopped writing sporadic life updates on my static-HTML personal website and installed WordPress instead. #TimeFlies

Sticking with the nostalgia theme, here's a recent post of mine in which I reminisce about the days when more publishers used to mention the #typeface used in the book they were printing.

Typefaces on book copyright pages — Insanity Works

I don’t think it was ever common practice but, when I was a kid, I feel like more books used to mention what typeface they were printed in. Some examples Here are a few examples of older and newer books in our collection that mention the typefaces they’re printed in, as shown on their copyright
