Ten years ago, on July 29, 2014, I was going to use the free video rental coupon in a 1998 phone book.
I was going to bring the entire phone book with me, and tear out the coupon right in front of them to show that it’s a legitimate coupon.
By 2014, the video store was no longer there. A printing business now had that address. I was going to walk into the existing store and ask if I could redeem the video store coupon for something else.
I never got around to using that coupon. A couple of years later, we moved out of that floor on the Tribune Tower (where I worked for 14 years), and I recycled the phone book.
This memory came back to me, because every day I check what I tweeted ten years ago via a Chrome bookmarklet. It’s lots of fun. You can make your own bookmarklet to check your tweets from 10 years ago.
Here’s some of the tweets I made on this day 10 years ago.
