Happy New Year!

1983 – It was an order by the U.S. Under Secretary of Defense, Richard DeLauer. The ARPANET was to have finished a conversion from the Network Control Protocol it was on, to Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. Otherwise known as TCP/IP.The transistion went smooth, and everyone got a button for their hard work stating “I survived the TCP/IP transition”.

Please Vote Day in Tech History in Podcast Awards

The 8th Annual Podcast Awards are underway and Day in Tech History has been nominated in the Education category. This is a great achievement since Day in Tech History has been podcasting for over 4 years.

Day in Tech History was first the Week in Tech History on Geekazine.com. August 9th, 2009 I changed the format to Day in Tech History. It’s only 1 of 2 podcasts that run 365 days a year. On May 5th, 2012 the Day in Tech History published the 1,000 episode of the show.

Since then, Day in Tech History has continued to give you the full rundown of what happened in Technology History. I plan to do that for years to come and the 2,000th episode which will happen in January of 2015.

Thanks to everyone that has listened and nominated the show for a Podcast Award. Geekazine.com was also nominated under Best Produced, too!
