I'm proud of my Dad, Milton H. Haynes Jr. Back in 1975 when I was coding on IBM 360 series mainframe computers in COBOL and Assembler, he was coding in basic on a Radio Shack TRS80 computer. 

This goes back a long time ago before floppy disks, jump drives, CDs and DVDs. How far back? My Dad used a cassette recorder for offline storage. And now cassettes have gone the way of the 8 track players, but my Dad, bless his soul, is still online with his PC at age 86. Go Dad!!

As they say, "the fruit doesn't fall too far from the tree", so to give fellow geeks like me a forum for sharing fresh perspectives, I founded Blacks Gone Geek on October 30, 2007 when I created this website. Shortly thereafter I created a blog, a podcast and a discussion group and the rest is history!

Note from Milt Haynes (December 15, 2023)

Merry Christmas! 

Hello Blacks Gone Geek Community

I've been retired for a few years and now I'm decommissioning BGG. This includes the website, FB, Twitter and LinkedIn. You can still find me on LinkedIn if you want to reach out. 

Peace and blessing to you all.

Milt Haynes
