Every time I go to a show, especially a place like Emerald City where the fans were INCREDIBLY kind and welcoming, I'm reminded that online behaviors and real life behaviors are two different things and I need to stay offline and meet people face to face more often.

A follow up games' artwork posts from the Age of Empires III.
Created as an advertising image, I based the work on a historical site, Fort Ticonderoga in New York, around the time of the French and Indian War of the 1740's.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 300-baud modems on fire off the shoulder of Compuserve. I watched C-64s whirring in a dark living room near the disk-swapping party. All these moments will be lost in time, like TRS-80s in the rain. Time to <CONNECTION LOST>

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. ASCII porn in IRC Channels. I watched hamsters dancing to looping MIDI after eons loading on 14.4k modems. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I programmed on punch cards, when my school went online around 1979, my friends and I hacked into the school board computer system, moved all the teacher pay scales four bytes to the left. Their password was CODE, the factory default. Original script kiddies. There at the beginning. Good times.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

It's easy to forget how much pain procrastination costs. Procrastination is death by a thousand nothings. 

Keep this list of the pain of procrastination around to remind yourself of what you are losing drop by drop. If you have to do this exercise every single week, do it.

Make it sink in.

A beautiful renaissance era girl with dark hair in an elaborate costume of pale gold tissue with a blue ribbon at the bodice. She is holding a bouquet of flowers. She stands in lovely garden which has a fountain to her left, and two young woman are talking to each other in the background. They have a greyhound. Cover of the book The Twelve Dancing Princesses. A very beautiful girl in a gold dress. She holds a lute. She is surrounded by a frame of flowers. There are many beautiful young girls dancing in the background. The setting is the Renaissance. Multiple paintings from the book The Twelve Dancing Princesses in small thumbnail images. In a blue dark knight, there is a mysterious castle in the center of a lake. The windows glow with a golden light. Golden leaves of a willow tree frame the image.

Kinuko Y Craft who turned 86 last month is selling ALL the art from her exquisite 1989 work THE TWELVE DANCING PRINCESSES. Info at Link. www.patreon.com/post...
