  • discreetly? before being 100% work from home, i used to stream my tv with plex with my tablet on my desk. I’d usually just put one earbud in and leave the other ear to hear people if they needed me.

    In highschool however (back in the late 90s) i used to listen to music from my walkman by fishing the corded earbuds from my pants pocket and in thru my sleeve. I’d hold the earbuds in my hand and the oversized hoodie sleeve would conceal everything perfectly. I’d rest my head in my hand with the earbuds and I’d look like any other student getting their work done.
















  • I hear you. When I was a teen, Internet was: A handful of focused websites or your buddies geocities / angelfire site.
    Chatting in crazy chat rooms on IRC, and having your close friends on ICQ.
    Using a dial up modem to play doom, Warcraft 2, red alert, duke nukem, quake, StarCraft, total annihilation… etc.

    Those were fun times. Felt like the bleeding edge of tech… hiding out and having fun in places people haven’t even heard of.
