+The Cranky Cynic manifesto: 40 years of tech teaching, myth-busting rage, and a love for forgotten geeks, delivered with zero BS and maximum storytelling. If you want history that entertains instead of bores you to death, buckle up. The truth hurts, but it’s way more fun than the lies.

+In this “Read Me First” episode of The Cranky Cynic, we begin the journey of digging into the lies the internet spreads, the forgotten geeks who deserve recognition, and the ancient wisdom of Diogenes, the original smart‑ass cynic who dared to tell Alexander the Great to step out of his sunlight. Passion, anger, humor, and truth collide in a journey that proves learning history can be entertaining, thought‑provoking, and fun.
