What I originally learned BASIC on - a TI 99/4a. I also have one of the beige models, and yes, I stored the code on cassette tapes, which, as far as I know, are still in the family storage.

Are you blognitive?

You are probably asking what that means, so I will explain by defining it’s root word “cognitive”.

cognitive: knowing, or apprehending by the understanding.

Basically, if you can think clearly and come to some sort of outcome with your thoughts, you can think cognitively. So, a blognitive person is simply a person who blogs without really thinking about it too much, kinda like a natural instinct. If I were to list blognitive people, Jenny Levine would top my list.

(Originally posted on my first blog, which was at gnosium.com — time capsule available from The Wayback Machine. For the record, I was the first hit for “blognitive” in Google, Yahoo, AllTheWeb, etc, and I’d registered blognitive.com well before anyone else showed up as a result for the query.)
