I've gone through at least 5-10 email addresses in that time. Although, I should give the caveat that many of these books were not for me. I lived with two women in Queens at the time. My books were God of Small Things and the Photoshop book. (OK, I guess that's not any less nerdy. Oh well.) I’m almost positive that I made orders in 1996 or 1997, but this was the earliest that I could find through Amazon:

Not only do you find the "Neat Thing Of The Day", NTOTD, but also you used the phrase honkey-tonk! Well played. Of course, I had to check my Amazon history right quick and came across my first order, October 23, 1998. (kicking your double-major ass, btw) I bought the children's book "Old Turtle" on behalf of my parents for my nephew. Not sure why October was significant. Again, well played.

Better to stick with cocktails than Robinson's increasingly tedious fiction. You saved yourself a lot of pain by avoiding Green and Blue Mars.
