Alright… Happy New Year! We’ve officially crossed the threshold into 2026. While everyone is busy making resolutions they’ll probably forget by February, I’ve been having this epic email chain with a “Secret Admirer” (Ananymous, you know who you are! XAXAXA) about the “Source Code” of humanity. It got me thinking: if our phones get a firmware update every few months,… Read more →
Aight! You ever scroll through TikTok and suddenly see a video of someone’s nenek doing a dance challenge, or your atuk trying to figure out a filter? For us Gen X lot, who bridge the gap between rotary phones and neural links, it’s a proper wild sight. We’re used to our parents just about mastering email, but now our older… Read more →
A‘ght! Ever scrolled through your phone late at night, bouncing from a deeply spiritual post to a meme, then perhaps, ahem, something a bit more… adult? It’s a digital rollercoaster, isn’t it? For us Gen X folks, who grew up navigating early internet forums with one eye open for pop-ups and the other trying to find anything interesting, this online… Read more →
Alrite! You ever fire up Netflix, scroll for literally five minutes, and then boom! Right there, staring you in the face, is that one obscure documentary or cheesy 80s action flick you didn’t even know you wanted to watch, but suddenly desperately need? It’s almost spooky, isn’t it? For us Gen X folk, who grew up meticulously flipping through TV… Read more →
Alright! We’ve all seen the sci-fi movies, from Blade Runner‘s soulful replicants to HAL 9000 developing a bit of a murderous personality. But what happens when Artificial Intelligence, these clever bits of code we build, start acting… well, a bit too human? Not just smart, but almost spooky? We’re talking about those moments when AI seems to develop unexpected ‘personalities’… Read more →
Alright! Remember the days of dial-up? That screeching modem sound was the soundtrack to our early online adventures. For us Gen X folks, we practically grew up with the internet, watching it morph from a clunky novelty into this omnipresent beast. We didn’t just join the internet; we evolved with it. But have you ever stopped to think about how… Read more →
Aight, let’s get real—who are you, really? Are you the same person online as you are in real life? Or do you tweak, edit, and upgrade yourself just a little (or a lot) when you’re behind the screen? XAXAXA. Online communities have become digital homes where people build their identities, sometimes even more than in the real world. From gaming… Read more →
Alright, fellow Gen-Xers, let’s take a deeper dive into why retro is ruling the world once again. 📼 You may have noticed that 80s neon colours, 90s flannel shirts, and 2000s flip phones are creeping their way back into our daily lives. The resurgence of vintage fashion, music, and tech isn’t just a fleeting trend—it’s a full-on revival. But why… Read more →
Alright, buckle up because this is coming straight from the heart of a proud Gen-Xer! 💿 Back in the day, we rocked Walkmans, collected vinyl records, and logged into the internet with that glorious dial-up noise. 🎶 Fast forward to now, and suddenly everything retro is making a big, bold comeback. But why do we love retro so much? Let’s… Read more →
This implies that much of the money you receive, deal with, use to buy goods/services, etc., is only available on computers and hard drives. Just an estimated 8% of the currency is physical money globally. All the piles of black money come from inside this 8%. This is a reasonable estimation to which economists seem to agree, not an exact… Read more →
