It seems that 1983 was Year of the Geek. The arrival of the Compaq Portable. The invention of the Domain Name System. The first cellphone. The launch of Nintendo.
Who would have thought that so much could happen in one year?

1983 was a great year.
Brechnology:I remember being well into video games: arcades and Intellivision, predominantly.
Musci: huge year for music
Life: aasdfasdfasdf
Zeitgeisst: the 80s cultural shroud was draped over everyone, and the depths plumbed. Now that I have ascended from the immersion, I sometimes think that I am lucky, that the universe is lucky, to have risen:
We may never have climbed out of that abyss.
Yes, it was great, but it was also dark and all-encompassing.
Glorious 2008 and the iPhone are upon us.
Let us reflect with fond remembrance upon 1983, revel, revere, and rappreciate, but from a very safe distance.
And I started my computer consulting business in 1983 – so I guess there's no question about it: 1983 was the Year of the Geek :-)
And I was born on 1983, so no doubt it was the year of the geek. :P
More seriously, your blog is great, keep up the good work ! :)
