@FilmIntuition I had a little moment of "oh, no!", then set myself a reminder to donate to the Internet Archive. (Also, I'd be interested in your e-book!)
@WalkerPinkLabel @mossstreetsf @dvdnetflix I moved apartments in 2019 and set my account to 1-at-a-time for a while. I kind of forgot and misplaced one DVD for over 2 years, which I'd already seen many times. Now I'm regretting missing all the other movies I could have seen in that time. Ooops!๐
That brings my 20 year tally to 872, 70 in the final season. I left 181 in my queue and I'm really glad I stayed until the very end. My best wishes to the team.
I found the original @netflix confirmation email (later @dvdnetflix), dated October 1, 2003. I also received my last batch of 8 red envelopes today, making it just in time for my 20th Netflixiversary.
@RapidsJason My last shipment is set to arrive on Monday and contains documentaries about Fred Rogers, Roger Ebert, Aaron Swartz, the Apollo 11 crew, among a few others. No bonus DVDs, but that doesn't dim my wistful nostalgia any.
Thank you, @dvdnetflix, for 20 years of movies. I'm looking forward to receiving my last regular set of eight on Monday. I loved those red envelopes and will remember your service with fondness and gratitude. Bon voyage, friends!
Six weeks ago, I updated my @dvdnetflix account to 8 at a time. 56 DVDs have come and gone, and one more batch of 8 shipped this morning. Another movie-packed week with 200+ still left in my queue. I am really going to miss this service. ๐ข
So begins the final week of red envelopes. Letโs reminisce together and appreciate the amazing members who kept us going for all this time (while doing some unbelievably creative stuff with the red envelopes)!

I'm just going to sit here and catch my breath, while I look at seven zeroes in my rowing log book.
10,000,000 m lifetime ๐
Just me and my trusty @concept2 Model D.
I wasn't *planning* on breaking my rowing half-marathon PR on the only night in a week when I was out of ice cream, but it happened anyway, by more than a minute. ๐ฃ๐#rowing
Ah, yes, that moment when itโs the last day of the rowing calendar and there are still 4 unchecked boxes left. Finished up with nice even numbers: 1,250,000 meters. ๐ฃ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฃ๐ป๐
One million meters on my 2021 indoor rowing season (May 1, 2020 - April 30, 2021) as of last night. I wonder how many more I can knock out before the end of April. #rowing
