    I saw this at Sully’s site yesterday and the first thought I had was how cool it would’ve been to do something like this when I was 12. and then again when I was 32.

    Sadly. affordable video cameras did not really exist in the 1980s

    @Doug Mataconis: Indeed, We had an 8mm silent film camera at the time, but that was it!

    @Doug Mataconis: Indeed my family couldn’t even remotely come close to affording a video camera in 92.

    I don’t know why any adult would want to talk with their 12 year old self, except to advise that 12 year old to skip middle school and serve the next 3 years at a Buddhist Monastery in Tibet.
