Yesterday I went to my parents, plugged in my computer from undergrad, and copied all media files to an external hd. Most of this stuff I haven’t seen/heard in 3 years.

Talk about a memory trip.

I absorbed too many old photos and too many songs that provided the soundtrack to four years of my life. Is there a period in life where change happens as quickly and completely as it does the early 20’s?

Question - is it healthy to dig into old chat logs? :)

>Question - is it healthy to dig into old chat logs? No… particularly not the ones of people you’ve dated. I also have been on a “music I haven’t listened to in ages” kick. My fileserver died a month or so ago and I got around to restoring everything to a little mini network drive, so now I’m like “oh cool, I forgot about this, and this, and that.”

I flirted with the thought. Started to open some up, and then shut down the computer. Probably the safe thing to do.

Old chat logs can be fun and harmless unless (!) you explore one’s from people you’ve dated. That’s when trouble starts. I have no idea what this “facebook” thing you refer to is????

Heaven (or, How Much History Can You Take?)

Welcome to the conversation.

Hi, I'm Fraser and this is my personal site where I write about the things I'm interested in: start-up strategy, the web, music, and life.

My days are spent commercializing emerging technologies. Currently I'm helping to deliver the promise of semantic web to the consumer market at AdaptiveBlue. Previously I was at Trivaris, a Canadian seed stage investment firm.

I am a co-founder of Innovation Night, a community driven event supporting entrepreneurship in Canadian and US cities.

Here's what I'm doing right now:
