My Personal Philosophy has me Welcome the Way Back Biz

At my aunt’s house I found some diskettes. In between epic hours of C-SPAN observing & mentally recording many secrets (Arlen Specter recently dyed his hair brown, for example), I rummaged through the old computer equipment. This is highly satisfying because it feels so good to find ancient personal things like these diskettes. Based on the philosophy that for 3rdarm.biz to be on the edge of it’s peak it will have to take on the role of a C-SPAN of me, I wish to act as filter over these diskettes that I now lord over, and parse the good & bad cherries to hand out really the highest quality cherries, on the mountain bottom.

The machines are the skeletons in my closets, and they hold the highest count of data on my life. The Virtual Boy that I have along with almost all of the games manufactured for the system that I keep in a tradeshow case which is black and has the red VB logo & the dark grey foam inside is specifically fitted for the headgear & it’s tripod… when the inventor of Virtual & Game Boys, Gumpei Yokoi, was struck and killed on a highway outside Tokyo, I changed my last name from Mullen to Yokoi. It would be possible to extract my full DNA data from that Virtual Boy, so the best shot I have at immortality would be to one day encapsule this Virtual Reality headset in it’s tradeshow case in a cube of amber, because unlike diamonds, amber encapsules virtual boys f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

Okay what I set out to say is that I found these diskettes (& other times have re-examined other interesting technological puzzle pieces from my past including Virtual Boy, my original IBM PS-2 laptop, & now these diskettes). These are diskettes manufactured by Mystic Photo Lab from between the beginning of 1997 until the end of 1999, at which point approximately they began to store the digital copies on the internet, instead of distributing diskettes. The diskettes I now have were each individually distributed with a set of prints.

This is a very interesting collection of data that includes pictures from my Sweet 16th birthday party as well as photos from when my aunt & mom and I went to visit my sister in Costa Rica. I also have dug up some diskettes from the laptop bag I have stolen from the toothless IBM Ps/2 laptop & have now given to the baby bizamp, who adores the new bag, even though it has a Nintendo Power catalogue in it’s sidepocket. On these diskettes I have found some truly amusing pornographic material which I will have up in a flash. This data I have decided to put in the green box and also use a Word Press header for, so that people who watch my C-SPAN can simply adjust the dial & watch it.

Keep your eyes on the green box for way back biz.
