[thathappened]

I was a weirdo making stuff before I researched if it already existed back in 2004.

I made a site for musicians to post music, sell or distribute it merch, control previews, analytics, yadayada all on an calpop p4 server when my then gf told me about Myspace.

I moved on to other things when she showed me FB and I learned I couldn't sign up without a .edu, they lost me there.

I registered in 2006 for a blind date, uploaded a pic of a salad bowl, never spelled my name correctly or used my real dob (I'm a melinnial and knew in 94 compartmentalize my online behavior) and doubled with an ethos crafted around consistency, I've done alright for my generation.

No friends, but still alive!
