ByteBrothers: Why I Love It

I remember a quote from Brian Eno on the creative process and/or life in general: "Define an area as safe and use it as an anchor" and that would be BB for me. I fucking love ByteBrothers. When I went on a camping trip to Mexico for a couple of weeks back when I took along a piece of shit Mac laptop and several dozen QWK packets (remember QWK packets?) so I could read BB while I crushed stinging insects that made their way through the screens of my VW Campmobile.

Back in the BBS days, pre-Internet, BB was a high-quality electronic sewer. Things have changed, but BB remains a great place to hang out and read the latest bullshit. And POST the latest bullshit, anything that comes to mind. It's a great release, it really acts as an anchor for me. Posting in BB is among my favorite things, activities that define life for me. Getting up in the morning (and every morning you're alive is a good morning) and making some coffee and reading the latest BB posts...

Thank you, Jimmy.
