Gotta watch those semi-colons

I’m not entirely comfortable with the fact we talk about the past so much here at arloandjanis.com. I mean, I’m not dead yet, and I don’t think you are, either. However, I remind myself that we do this, because we discuss old cartoons here, cartoons that appeared as much as 15 years ago. It’s not like we’re obsessed with the past or something. Is it?

Anyway, remember when the “computer” was a sprawling complex of gadgetry that sat in a central location, as the television once did? Back then, parents actually dreamed of policing their children’s online activity. Today? Fuhgidaboudit!
