On the one week anniversary of my blog, I wanted to take a quick moment to give thanks to the pioneer who started the blogging revolution: Doogie Howser, MD.
For those of you who didn’t come of age in the early 90’s, you might have missed this amazing television gem about a super-genius, who, at age 13, is a medical doctor- but still has to deal with typical adolescent hijinks & coming-of-age issues like kissing girls & wet dreams. Doogie is played by cultural icon, Neil Patrick Harris.
At the end of each episode, Doogie would type up a couple inspiring sentences on his ginormous computer, succinctly delivering the message of the last half hour to the show’s apparently moronic audience. Granted, the internet hadn’t been invented yet, so he couldn’t put his nerdy computer diary into the public realm in 1992, but he tried. He tried. And I for one would like to thank Doogie for pioneering this brave new world.
While I am doling out credit to the techy early adopters of the 1990’s, I’d like to give a quick shout out to the first cell phone user – Zach Morris.
I mean, COME ON. Zach Morris had a portable cell phone when the rest of us were barely off rotary. These are real American Pioneers people. When was the last time Davy Crockett did anything relevant? Like, 250 yrs ago, you feel me??
Anywho, thanks guys, for being awesome.
