"What's the first web page archived in the Wayback Machine?"

We get that question all the time. There's no singular first page. There is, however, a first collection, and it's a really important one ⬇️

🧵 In 1996, the #Smithsonian 📜 partnered with the fledgling #InternetArchive 🏛️ to create Web Archive 96. A venerable institution & a digital pioneer joining forces to preserve the 1996 U.S. presidential election online.

The monitor shows a webpage titled “Election ’96: The Online Campaign,” inviting visitors to explore the 1996 presidential campaign online. The exhibit text above explains how the 1996 election marked the first major use of the Internet by political candidates such as Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, and Ross Perot to reach voters..

Audio is still my first love, but I evolved, I moved forward in different ways. The irony of people working in tech yet stuck in old ways, and even older thoughts!

Moral of the post, stay true to yourself, no is a word for a reason, don't feel bad!

I hate doing threads, and yet... 3/3

Biggie once said he wouldn’t be a 50-year-old rapper still talking about being on the block slinging dope. Maybe not the same thing, but it hits just the same. Some people say, “But you still do audio!” Yeah my audio career started 30 years ago. It never stopped. Big difference. 2/

Got invited to speak somewhere recently from someone in my old industry, AV, I declined. Not because I’m better than anyone, or I'm above it, but because I’ve moved on. I’ve always lived by a simple mindset: look forward, never backward. What was then, is not now. Nor should it be. 1/

1119 days ago on September 30th I joined ChatGPT after my team had been testing it internally for quite some time. 44 minutes ago, I tried Atlas browser for the first time, it's only been 44 minutes, but so far I do prefer the DIA browser. Too early to call it a win, time will tell.

1119 days since I've joined ChatGPT on September 30th, 2022. 44 minutes since I've joined Atlas, ChatGPT's browser.

MTV changed music and TV back in the 80s - and then it went all reality TV.

🤷‍♂️

Nothing last forever.

Thank you! This is what first came to mind!

We know it's AI generated, you don't have to say "appeared to be". We know this because Trump can't fly a jet, a jet can't carry that much shit, and no protestors had shit dumped on them.

It's okay to say the truth without careful couching of the words. You're a newspaper ffs.

My eyes may not currently be working at the moment, was signing up for something and I kept reading "Unprofessional Plan" when in reality it was 2 plans, the Professional & Unlimited. And boy was I off, for the record was totally going to sign up for Unprofessional plan to see what it was about.

Everyone’s a “builder” now. Spin up an app in a weekend, call it innovation. Then six months later: bugs, churn, vendor bills, and a LinkedIn post about “learning from failure.” AI makes stuff easy. Keeping it working is still very much a human problem.

Apparently when you break the system, the next step is ditching it?

Nothing says “we believe in humanity” like building a luxury fallout shelter while the rest of us argue over paper straws & toilet paper.

All jokes aside, they're in their own heads, I agree w/ your take.

Think I’ll turn off DMs on Bluesky, don’t use it, most ppl that reach out to me, know how to, and don’t need another platform to check for messages, figured I’d do it now before i get used to chatting with ppl here.

I have my friends, I’m good. I’ll reach out if I feel change my mind.

Thank you @chenjerai.bsky.social for all your hardwork creating this and putting it together, can’t imagine what it was like for you knowing that it started as a personal project of discovery regarding your father! 🙏🏼❤️

Long commute today to an event, and I’m 3 episodes in on @chenjerai.bsky.social Empire City! I grew up in Brooklyn at a time when the cops were unchecked, no cell phone cameras so whatever you imagine now, amplify by 1000x - it was that bad! Hearing this history is utterly amazing & heartbreaking!

My first Apple purchase was a Mac Color Classic, I didn't get it brand new, I got it in '95 2yrs or so after it was discontinued. But man I worked the hell out of that computer!

I'd been using one for a couple of years already in the studio, and wanted one for myself.

Random memories!
