While cleaning out a closet at my parents house, a shelf not touched since probably 2007, I find interesting artifacts showing my interests going back 25 years—when I moved into this bedroom after we completed the addition of the second floor of the house.

This was in a folder from my undergrad alma mater along with a parts manifest from a laptop I sold in early 2005 as well as a long story I wrote for an Ultima Online server I used sometime until about 2003.
