So I guess today was the day that the first message, "lo", was sent on ARPANET. That makes 10/29 the official birthday of the interweb tubes.

In honor of this day: It's not a truck, it's a series of tubes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtOoQFa5ug8)!

Who knew that we would be responding to Nigerian get-rich-quick schemes and playing Team Fortress back in 1969?

Dunno. Who thought there'd be hippies and Vietnam wars in 1929?

Happy birthday.

From saving the world and creating a digital utopia, to mortgage spam and furries... Internet, thou hast come so far, yet stooped so low.
