The Casio ATC-1200, and a Brief History of (Nick's) Time

Today, in honor of passing 700 subscribers, I wanted to share a bit more about how I got started as a gear geek, my history of time pieces, and the unique mindset that produces somebody like your Nick Shabazz. And for grins, I included a quick good-bad-and-ugly review of my very first gadget-watch, the Casio ATC-1200, which was a gem to little Nicky.
Hope it's interesting, and if it isn't, don't worry, tomorrow I'll be back to good old fashioned gear talk.
