Benj Writes History at How-To Geek
Wednesday, April 15th, 2020
Back in February, I landed a full-time job at How-To Geek as a Staff Writer. It’s been a great gig, and I am enjoying helping people with tricky (and sometimes very simple) tech problems.
I’ve written a lot about iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows 10, and the Nintendo Switch so far, but HTG also lets me do a history feature about once a week. That way I can keep flexing my tech nostalgia muscles. Here are the history pieces I’ve done so far:
- Even 25 Years Later, the Iomega Zip Is Unforgettable
- What Is the Konami Code, and How Do You Use it?
- Text-Based VR: Explore the Pioneering World of MUSHes
- How Apple’s 2020 iPad Pro Compares to the 1994 Trackpad Mac
- How to Write an Apple II BASIC Program in Your Web Browser
- How to Play Classic “Doom” in Widescreen on Your PC or Mac
- The Best Retro Easter Eggs in Windows and Microsoft Office
Expect much more where that came from, so keep an eye on my How-To Geek page, and you’ll see new ones pop up from time to time.
I hope everybody out there is doing well. This blog isn’t dead yet — I still plan to post some more Retro Scans some day.
