The earliest specific memory that I can verify is when I was 1, and I would dance to the music in Taxi. I also remember my dad letting me type gibberish on his typewriter, which was probably when I was about 2 or 3 or something. He also let me strum the guitar strings, and I was probably 3 or 4.

I also remember a specific line of thought I had when I was a baby, probably about 1 or 2, a plan I'd made in getting a ball out of a rattle. Fortunately I didn't have the strength to carry out those plans. I sincerely thought that the whole purpose of the rattle was to get the ball out of the cage. I thought the rattling was just an added bonus ;-)
