Year of Dragon
Born 2000. Nokia 3310—126M sold. Snake, SMS, ringtones.
Dial-up era.
Five years old
The PSP—widescreen gaming in your pocket. 480×272. UMDs. Elementary school: sports, curiosity, climbing trees.
Retina
The first iPad. The Retina Display and FaceTime made this the year smartphones went mainstream. Teen years beginning.
Still no laptop. Still mostly outside.
Big screens
Apple's first move into big screens led to 222 million sales—their highest-selling series ever.
First laptop around 15. Finally getting my hands on the digital world.
Everything paused
COVID. The world stayed home. The Switch sold out. Building things in the digital world.
So did how we build and connect.
AI-first
Apple Intelligence and Samsung's Galaxy AI dominating the market. The focus shifted to AI-first hardware.
Building things in the digital world.
Here we are
Technologist. Builder. Still curious.
