Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Back in 1994, the wilderness months came to an end when Jenn moved from the US to NZ to be with me. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday

Happy birthday to my wonderful wife, Jenn! I believe this photo was her last birthday in NZ, in 2001, shortly before we moved to the US. #dejus365
During the wilderness months between my visit to the US and Jenn moving to NZ, I surrounded myself with photos of her. Also, check out that fancy Mac IIx, modem, and magneto-optical drive. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Today is the 25th anniversary of Jenn and I meeting in person, having originally met online using the pre-web internet. To mark the milestone, a photo from my visit to the US in 1994. #dejus365
You may remember I mentioned my visit to the US; this was one final hug before I boarded the plane back to NZ for the difficult months apart. The story continues next Thursday! #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Today is the 35th anniversary of the introduction of the first Macintosh. So it seems only fitting that today’s photo of the day is of my Mac Plus, from 1989. Not the original model, though the same shape. But I did use the original in school. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Yesterday I posted photos and a YouTube video of 8 years of selfies; today, let’s go back 25 years to 1994. Not actually a selfie; taken by Jenn during my visit to the US. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Jenn and I met via the internet, using command-line email etc, before there was a web. I was in NZ, she in the US. I visited her in February – March 1994, staying in her dorm room for about 5 weeks. This pic is from a photo shoot we did then. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Time for another school photo, I think. Here’s my first year at Northcross Intermediate School, in 1981. Form 1 was equivalent to sixth grade in the US. As usual, I’m the goofy looking boy in glasses. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
My very first Christmas, in 1969. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday 🎄
