[...] Brad Warbiany points me to this idea from Megan McArdle: A friend suggested this exercise: go to your Amazon orders page, and see what the very first thing you ordered from Amazon was. [...]

Apparently my first use of Amazon was with the Amazon Honor System, so I have no idea what I bought. I’m not even sure I bought anything, I may have used it to donate money as it was on 9/11/2001. The first real purchases were Dexter Gordon’s “GO” CD and the Robert Johnson Complete Recordings Box Set.

I honestly don’t remember…I long ago forgot my login and password to my first account. I now order my purchases on my wife’s account. I’m pretty sure my first order was a book for my kids…”Uncle Wiggley” I think.

Ayn Rand and L. Neil Smith. Excellent choices.

Shockingly, my first purchase was not until 2002. I think I had been living under a rock until then. Fresh out from under that rock, I purchased “Monty Python’s Previous Record” on CD.

My first order would have been in mid-1995, and was for a copy of L. Neil Smith’s The Probability Broach.

I think that’s all I ordered from them that year. It was their first year in business, and they sent me a mousepad for Christmas.
