This afternoon I was sitting here at the computer, bored as usual, so I decided to fire up VICE. I've proceeded to spend most of the rest of the afternoon on old C64 games I found at LEMON. My first forays into computing were right here playing Summer Olympics.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
