Well, friends, my on-again-off-again relationship with FamilyFirst that has lasted ten years is, I'm sorry to say, off again. The company which owns this blog has decided to go a different direction, which doesn't include me.

November 6, 2008 As you probably know, I'm all about nostalgia.
My I remember JFK site has been a labor of love for two years now, and the site's basic premise is nostalgia, specifically of the Baby Boomer flavor.

take me back to the sixties September 13, 2008 Today's FamilyFirst pick will combine two of my favorite things: Wikipedia, and Firefox.
Wikipedia, YOUR encyclopedia, is the source for much of the research that I use for my Boomer nostalgia blog.
If you type a search subject into Google, odds are that Wikipedia's entry on the subj... continue reading...

Today's FamilyFirst pick is a site to keep an eye on.
First of all, let me tell you how I found it.
I had a tremendous spike of traffic yesterday at my Boomer nostalgia blog, I Remember JFK, for this particular page. Further investigation revealed that the StumbleUpon folks were blitzing John Lenno... continue reading...

OK, just the facts, ma'am.
The facts are these: Firefox rocks. It has also taken back a big chunk of the web browsing that Internet Explorer stole away beginning in 1995.

Ah, the auld days.
I remember sitting in an excited frenzy back in 1993 with my shiny new PC, knowing that I was a member of an elite group known as a home PC user.
Part of the mystique was a subscription to PC Magazine.
PC has been a part of the home computer scene since the 70's. Once upon a tim... continue reading...

wagon train October 1, 2007 Man, what a sheltered life I've led.
A couple of weeks ago, a visitor at my I Remember JFK nostalgia site suggested that I write a column about Jean Shepherd.
I went "Who?"
Well, I am now a dyed-in-the-wool fan of this absolutely captivating radio storyteller.

Ask anyone what the names John, Paul, George and Ringo mean, and you may get a 1) a blank stare, 2) a blank stare followed by a smile, or 3) a loud scream and yell. In case you didn't know, those are the names of the members of the greatest rock-n-roll band of all time, The Beatles. T... continue reading...
