I wrote a song page that made this decade great. It has short descriptions and related tracks that are grouped together. I partly made this page to test out the accordion feature in my #WebDesign software. It is a nice way to see a list and home in on one part. 💿 www.retrospect90s.life/songs/ 💿

I started this website as my first foray into updating my #webdesign skills. Four years later I'm moving over to #RapidweaverElements. Dan shows in this video my site could have been made much easier if Elements were around then! #AlwaysLearning thepresentcanbe2020.life/blog/?id=ele...

A really #CoolMovie about a group of 10-16 year old boys that sail across the #Atlantic! What an awesome idea for a #school to do! They got to #learn all kinds of things by going on an adventure like this. I would love to do a radical overhaul to this page for my edu site @learningtowalkagain.life!

In the middle of the decade #U2 and friends put out a great record. Whatever happen to #Soundtracks2? Can't understand why this collection got so little airplay especially with the extensive gap between #Zooropa and #Pop. What is your favorite track from this album? #90sElectronicMusic #TripHop

I am studying #FreeVersePoetry for one of my other sites which is gradually becoming very centered around this different style of writing. While studying #JackKerouac's work I came across his story of being a fire lookout in our state. Looking up where that was I found this troop from the 90s.

Birthday party! #15

The band #Sponge put out a collection of covers from 1994 when they had their first hit Plowed. I heard them live and that song sounds amazing with its call and response style vocals with the audience! The original songs from 1994 are so strong that it is hard to make covers that can measure up!

Some of the clothing I remember getting from #ChristmasInThe90s. These designs were so fun! It was always a joy to open them on #Christmas Morning and have something new to wear to school. #Stussy #Mossimo #NoFear #Rusty #Airwalks #ReebokPumps #Sweats www.retrospect90s.life/clothing/

For a while I've wanted to do a photo and video shoot of my #YearbookCollection so that it could be the homepage my website www.retrospect90s.life. It would also be fun to make a section of pages perhaps under the fashion section that to show this. Yearbooks can be a great way to show #fashion!

I started 90s Life to forget about the early 2020's lock-downs. My first article reflected on movies I watched in the 90s about health. I had very clear memories of #Outbreak that we watched in #ScienceClass when we were told that could happen to us very easily! www.retrospect90s.life/health/

These are some really good #memories of traveling to the #SanJuans with my family and my family's friends! I noticed the #HardyBoys book on the table that gives me an idea to what I was reading at the time. #PugetSound #SanJuansWA #Sailing #Rafting #Boyhood #BlackSweatpants #SummerVacation #Tween

An overview of the different music sections on my site. Perhaps nothing captures the era more for me than the music which played in the background in a very eventful time!

During the pandemic when I had more time to me stuck inside I enjoyed catching up on some titles from the 90s that I had missed when they came out. I realized some great great films fell under the radar for me. #90sFilms #ClassicFilms

My website of (mostly) 90s memories was featured on a writing channel this week! Glad I have services like this which I can continue to learn from. Extensive writing is still new to me.

Getting cologne for a gift. Fun times! #GrowingUpMemories #Birthday #Christmas

I watched this movie back when it came out. I would have loved to experience it in the context of mindfulness that is presented in this article! Perhaps it is due for a re-watch? #GroundhogDay #ClassicFilms90sFilms #Mindfulness #Comedy #90sFilms #ThePresent

I found all kinds of fun yearbook designs scavenging around online. Such as this one with the kids making the cover and back cover look like a Cranberries album! These annuals are a great way to see what the time was like from the outside of the usual pop culture you normally look at going though.

This style was pretty awesome. I saw a working #Hypercolor shirt at a pawn shop for $100 and wished I had bought it. That is the kind of merchandise that is hard to buy online. How can you know for sure if it still works? Looks like I missed my chance but I still have the memory. 😌

A poem I wrote this year of the 1992 election and how I remembered it to be from a kid perspective. It is part of a long series I wrote on my growing up memories.

Whenever I think about the five albums that will be a part of Pedro the Lion's (@pedrothelion.bsky.social ) five album pentalogy I keep thinking of this Smashing Pumpkins boxset that had the five discs in a box with a booklet. A pretty fun concept! A later bought the re-issue box of this in 2012.

When I log into #Bluesky I keep thinking of this song. I went back to listen to it and it seems a little different then I remember it. Almost like if Tori Amos was fronting #TheCure with a touch of #Republica's Ready to Go. I like the kids floating around singing Tori's parts too! #Electronica

making new music without a screen for the first since maybe the 90s (?) and it’s hitting me that this new way of doing music production (being able to see the music and non linear editing) is only ~25 years old and so much music we love was written and produced without it +

I remember getting to watch this in middle school one day, fun times!

I don't tend to follow analytics but I got a notification from Google telling me this page was doing well! That makes me happy as it was the best new page of my 2021 rewrite. I never had a chance to use those #AfricanStyleFonts that I've always enjoyed looking at before! #90sMovies #90sFilms

I'm a big fan of these type of #SuperStylingSweats and built a collection over the years. Along with the assortment of colors you can find today I love the #overstitch which they often had. For some reason you can't find that anymore. #StellarFashion #1990s #1980s #Sweatpants #Sweatpants>Jeans

While most the bands I started listening to in the 90s were current of that day sometimes I would come across new albums by older bands. I've always thought this #BruceFairbairn produced #Yes record was great! I enjoyed it as much as other albums that were from their heyday...

During our holiday season I realize it is late to make posts about #Halloween but I really liked making this page on #GhostMovies. I had to talk about it. The bottom part of the page is styled in that #8-bit block style that I thought came out really well. www.retrospect90s.life/ghost/

This is a collection of yearbooks I got to help me reflect on the 1990s. This general idea influenced me to make an interactive book on growing up years: @learningtowalkagain.life That project isn't based on any era in particular just the experience of growing up and what matters at that time.
