I dug up an old video from 2003 and tweeted it: https://x.com/KentonVarda/status/1857991074708369788
But my parties go back to 1996, before we had digital cameras. I'm hoping my mother is able to dig up some really old photos from her storage and scan them...
Awesome!
Let me guess: the LCD monitor sitting at the comfy empty chair was yours. Meanwhile, your friends lugged their bulky CRT monitors to your house—nearly breaking the monitors in the process—and instead of being jealous, they insisted it was worth it for the superior color accuracy, contrast ratios, and refresh rates.
Also, shoutout to moms with camcorders and minivans—two things we were all embarrassed by back then but now fully appreciate for their superior practicality.
No, my chair was the one seen at the very end. (The first/last room in the video was my bedroom so I was sitting at my regular desk.)
Ah I see! Nice man. Great setup!
