Bike Collecting

Last year for my birthday, my boyfriend bought me a bike. A vintage cruiser bike with fenders and a rack:


At the time, he had a vintage road bike:


But after seeing me on my cruiser, he decided he wanted on too:


Then, I decided I wanted a road bike, so I bought a Terry bike:


Finally, the boyfriend decided he wanted to build a fixed gear bike (and yes, he really did build this thing from scratch):


Wonder how long until I decide I want a fixed gear...

While we're walking down memory lane, a year ago today I was at my 1st week at my last job (which I ended up hating) and am so thankful that I now have my current job (that I plan on staying at for a long time). 3 years ago today, I was prepping for my move from Cleveland to DC. Taking a huge gamble on quitting my 1st job out of college to move to DC only knowing 2 people, and moving here with no job lined up. 3 years later, it's all worked out wonderfully - after bopping around a bit, I have an awesome job that I love, a wonderful boyfriend I would have never met if I hadn't moved (or would we...), an awesome group of friends, and of course 3 amazing roommates. Wonder where I'll be 3 years from today?

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Today, while being extremely productive at work, I found this website which discusses the evolution of facebook. Here's a little walk down memory lane:

- Remember when the only pictures on facebook were your profile picture
- Remember when you had to go to the thefacebook.com to get to facebook
- Remember when you had to have an .edu email to be on facebook
- Remember when they opened it up to high school students as well
- Remember when it used to list on there "member since"
- Remember when facebook used to list out the schools that your friends went to
- Remember when they used to have the connections, so you could see who someone was friends with
- Remember before facebook had the news feed feature
- Remember before facebook had chat (fyi, i have never used the chat before, i think it's dumb and gchat is WAY better)
- Remember when facebook to look like this:



Also, just for fun, remember when google used to look like this:


Remember when youtube looked like this:


Remember when craigslist looked like this:


And remember when Wikipedia looked like this:
