The air station has since &lt;a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1989/04/10/inf-pact-leaves-costly-bases-with-no-mission/2ef3324a-926f-4642-9995-b23d99e02447/"&gt;closed&lt;/a&gt;, but it holds a special place in my heart as I fell in love with computers and technology there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our home was across the runway from the Base Exchange (BX), and we would ride our bikes across the base going to and from school, pick up my little brother, etc. For my younger self, though, that meant a visit to the BX where there was a computer section!

Without fail, my parents knew where to find me when they were ready to leave.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The disappearing digital divide?</title><link>https://geekyschmidt.com/post/2021-07-29-digitaldivide/</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jul 2021 04:15:57 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://geekyschmidt.com/post/2021-07-29-digitaldivide/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I live in a beautiful town called &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standish,_Michigan"&gt;Standish, Michigan&lt;/a&gt;. Our total population is around 1400 people, and the majority of our population are farmers. That is to include the majority of my family who lives around our home here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Growing up, this was where I would come home for the Summers living abroad, as my father would joke, to learn more about the family business. My father married my mother, joined the Air Force, and then left to travel the world. He had entertained coming back home throughout my formative years, but there was not much work for a very geeky radio and electronics engineer, so he didn&amp;rsquo;t.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
