The First Album I Ever Bought
Yes. It was Quiero Ser by Menudo. Yes, it is now embarrassing. But, I was about six years old at the time and totally IN LOVE with them… especially Xavier… because I thought since my name began with a Z and his with an X, that it meant something - two names beginning with unconventional letters and all. Plus, in my six-year-old mind he was totally hot.
I look at the album cover now and find the oiled-up, faux leather look a bit… creepy.
I haven’t listened to the headlining song “Quiero Ser” since I was that age, and I was extremely SHOCKED that I remembered most of the words. It’s funny how that happens. It’s actually quite a sweet song and opened the flood gates to a lot of forgotten moments. I need to ask my mom if the album is laying around somewhere. It most definitely has faded hearts etched all over the cover. In the meantime, I might download a few of the songs and relive childhood memories.
What was your first album?

Know Your Meme: The Game Show! Pwn, Win, or Fail! Live in NYC!
On Monday, February 23, 2009 at 7:30 pm, at Santos Party House on Lafayette near Walker, just *before* the O’Reilly IgniteNYC event, the Rocketboom Institute for Internet Studies will conduct its next exercise in its continuing study of this thing called ‘Internet’. Chief Internet Scientists Jamiedubs, Elspethjane, and Yatta will lead two teams in a test of their knowledge of all things internet including memes, internet phenomena, and the occasional geeky computer history question.
At the end of the competition the winrars will be crowned ‘Kings of All Things’ for the evening.
Teams will be scored on the accuracy of their responses as well as the enthusiasm of all of their team members.
Contestants include Rex Sorgatz (Fimoculous), Gavin Purcell (Attack of the Show / Jimmy Fallon Show), Peter Rojas (Engadget / RCRD LBL), Nate Westheimer (Innonate), and Kelly Reeves (URLesque) vs Michelle DeForest (Next New Networks), Bre Pettis (NYC Resistor), Caroline McCarthy (CNET), Irene Polnyi (Internetfamo.us), and Tim Shey (Next New Networks).
