Happy Birthday, To Me...


5/9/22

In what can only be interpreted as a glaring example of "writing for an audience of One, me..." - I am penning this happy birthday wishes to non-other than, Me.

Moi.

I was born the same year the Seattle Space Needle was erected. (he, he...I said erected)

On this day in 1962:

- Beatles sign their 1st contract with EMI Parlophone - I cannot stand the Beatles...
- Laser beam successfully bounced off Moon for 1st time - 'bounced' and 'Laser beam' in one sentence, poetic...
- US performs an atmospheric nuclear test at Christmas Island - 'Christmas' and 'nuclear test' in one sentence, foreboding...

Happy Birthday, Greg.  Thank you.

"No, not Less paper, Paperless..."

"The paperless era is upon us, people."

This video cracked me up. No matter how the big OEMs or companies that produce paper spin it, the time is now.

Still, these 'pro-paper' ads are amusing and well produced.



"I read it in this report..."



Cute, smart, engaging and out dated - these were obviously done before the latest advances in personal access display devices or BYOD - how soon before these are seen as nostalgic and reminiscent of a bygone age?
