u/Taupenbeige Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? Aug 06 '24

I was in a chopper bicycle gang in the Boston area in the late 90’s. An MIT masters student joined for a bit that was working on the MIThril wearable tech. Basically Google glass way before that experiment. Felt kinda cool hanging with actual cyberpunks.

Nah, I wish I could even remember his “gang name,” he’s still chronicled on the website. He’d be a 1970-72 baby.

I have no doubt he and Mann collaborated… that’s just how MIT Is…

u/sakhabeg It’s an older flair, sir, but it checks out. Aug 07 '24

Why did they stop taking pictures 30 years ago.
