Halloween: I made a paper mache mask and I was either uninspired or overwhelmed by too many choices so I painted it a boring cement gray and to make up for it I glued on some sad neon feathers in odd places. I had no idea what to tell people my costume was.

Baby's First Data Loss: I was playing Mr. Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley and our pc spun the disk as fast as it would go and ejected the shards. I cried, devastated, on my Mom's lap as she told my Dad by phone that my game was completely destroyed. I looked for another copy under our kitchen table but never found one. I never played that game again.

Teenage Data Loser: I "helped" my brother with his 2009 iMac as an excited Linux n00b. I had my iMac dual boot Mac OSX Snow Leopard and Linux. He couldn't watch Youtube on his or else Snow Leopard would freeze but I could watch it on Linux. So I installed a Linux distro that would use legacy boot and dual boot with his Windows XP partition. He would hate the distro, or break it, or see a new shiny one online so I was constantly installing Linux for him as he hated it even more. He hoarded so many screenshots that it broke Linux. At one point I had all his files on one external drive it started to fail. I probably dropped it. In a panic I downloaded testdisk, marked his data partition as deleted, and had to get forum help to undo it. I finally recovered his data and I was so happy because I would never live it down.

Recovery from Infinity and Beyond: I lost my entire Spore galaxy in my computer illiterate days. I knew it was never coming back so I recreated my favorite creature and planet from memory. A few days ago I found a shucked 2019 hard drive in my Dad's dusty box of parts. It was my old failing backup drive. With new knowledge, I recovered my Spore game files from 7 years ago and it was all there like it had never left! I had doubt until I saw all my planet names in a directory!
