Modern Technology

It always amazes me how exponential technology moves.

I built my first website when I was 11. I learned basic HTML and used tools such as Microsoft Frontpage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. I had a lot of fun building multiple websites for various reasons but I’ll always remember how challenging it was and how long it took. Shoutout Geocities.

Fast forward to today and I was able to get this blog up and running with 15 minutes from a bar called the Peacekeeper in Nob Hill. I signed up for a Squarespace account, choose a simple template and made edits, bought the vieje.co domain, and I was ready to go before I finished my cocktail.

I can’t believe building a website used to take me that long. I’m excited for the future when there are more things I can’t believe used to take me that long.

Some items that come to mind: taxes, air and ground travel, transferring money, laundry, and athletic recovery. Just to name a few.
