Ionia Street 1999

Some old bit of archival footage we found in a vault. This is the earliest known footage of the very beginnings of The Geek Group. Note the original prototype of the Boden Electrostatic Pendulum on display in the office.

I don't mean to be pedantic but it's small computer system interface, not small computer serial interface.

Sorry, it had to be said.

So, You once had a need to sit on your hair? Heh. I assume you keep your hair short now so none of your scary equipment can eat it? Though, You should have checked if hair could conduct a few thousand volts :-P

Form Follows Function, my hair changes with my life to suit my needs. Back then I had it mid-back. I once had it *just* long enough to sit on (that sucks btw). For the past several years I've kept it very short. It all depends on my mood.

Must have been through a fair few hairstyles then. I could never deal with having my hair long, I'd pull at it too much... Haha.
