When the earth was cooler.

I always make up little definitions for those "words" that you have to type in when you leave a comment on some blogs. I figured there must be other people who do the same thing but actually write them down, and I was right: Zrharc!

Anyway, I ran into a good one when I was commenting on a blog just now: "prenerda." I figure that refers to the historical epoch before the advent of Star Trek, pocket protectors, and the transistor.
