DorkYearbook.com Shows Off Early Days of Dorkdom

by Warren Riddle on April 15, 2009 at 10:43 AM



If you're ever feeling nostalgic for the geeky halcyon days of the '70s and '80s, or if you're just looking for a good laugh, take a visit to DorkYearbook.com, where you can relive your cherished childhood memories of Atari and the awesome Apple II. If you're secure enough in your matured state of dorkdom, you can even post photos proving what a technically-versed dork you really were.

We don't want to give away too much, because the uploaded photos really need no explanation (unless, of course, you aren't old enough to remember 5 1/4-inch floppy disks). As an example, though, and to pique your interest, one of our favorite images depicts a young girl donned in Dr. Who regalia. It's too bad that we weren't cool, or dorky, enough to wear a multi-colored scarf. We had no idea that Dr. Who attracted such a devoted female following.

The site offers a virtual history of nerdity, so, if you're longing for the days of Commodore 64, She-Ra, Jams and "Sierra On-Line," or if you kids out there just want to make fun of geeks past, Dork Yearbook has your fix. You can even follow the geek action and catch the latest nerd uploads through Twitter, everyone's favorite dork-endorsed micro-blogging site. [From: Dork Yearbook Via: Coudal]
