					<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks, I created a computer game set in the Arctic. Or maybe I&#8217;ve been working on it since 1981. It all depends on how you count. All I know for sure is that I programmed the original version of Arctic Adventure in Radio Shack TRS-80 Level II BASIC when I was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned my Arctic 81 website here on Technologizer. It’s home to Arctic Adventure, a text adventure game I wrote in Level II BASIC for the Radio Shack TRS-80 when I was in high school. It was published in a book of type-in adventures in 1981, though my triumph was [&#8230;]]]></description>

Until now, I&#8217;ve considered them to be more or less lost. At some point after [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On March 7, 2007, I tweeted—though it wasn&#8217;t yet called that—for the first time. I remember feeling like I was late to the platform: If I understand how member ID codes work, I was the 817,268th person to sign up. I didn&#8217;t really figure Twitter out until some point in 2008. Once I did, it [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Okay, maybe &#8220;lost&#8221; is overstating things. Still, I tend to forget about most of the stuff I write the moment I&#8217;m done with it. So I certainly don&#8217;t have vivid recollections of writing my weekly Technologizer column for TIME.com, which I did from September 2010 until February 2012. But when I was freeze-drying the Technologizer [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It hardly seems possible that it&#8217;s been nearly sixteen years since I pressed publish on my first Technologizer post. Back then, the iPhone had been on sale for less than a year. Android phones, Chrome, Bitcoin, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Oculus, and the iPad didn&#8217;t exist yet. The current version of Windows was Vista, Circuit City [&#8230;]]]></description>
