My Cyberspace
In June of 2018 I began a somewhat autobiographical account of my life on computers for the sake of better understanding the medium, in line with my application of the ideas of Marshall McLuhan. I decided to post them online on my old WordPress site, and am mirroring them here. Lots of nostalgia, technical details, and internet history.
