As the decade draws to a close, I figured I’d recap some notable things that’ve happened to me since January 1, 2000:
- Graduated from college (May 2000)
- Moved to Los Angeles to start a job at News Digital Media (June 2000)
- Got married (July 2000)
- Got laid off in the dotcom fun* (Spring 2001)
- Got a job at FOX Broadcasting Company (Summer 2001)
- Moved to a new apartment (Spring 2002)
- Our first son was born (April 2002)
- Our second son was born (October 2003)
- Left FOX for a job at Yahoo (Summer 2004)
- Left Yahoo for a job at Ning (December 2005)
- Our third son was born (June 2006)
- Became a homeowner (Fall 2006)
- Temporarily avoided seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (December 2009)
On the nerdier side:
- Threw away my 100-foot Ethernet cable in favor of connecting to the Internet wirelessly
- Watched my music and movie collection turn from plastic discs into files on a hard drive
- Stopped getting photos developed
- Stopped watching TV commercials
- Saw my cellphone transform from a voice-only device to a pocket computer that does everything short of granting wishes
Overall, a pretty intense decade.
