Begining
David made his Youtube channel on July 25th, 2006. At this time, the channel was named adric22. He really liked obtaining broken iBook laptops, repairing them, then selling them on websites like eBay and Craigslist. He uploaded his first video on March 24th, 2007, which was an S-Video mod for the Commodore Amiga. After this, he made a video explaining his refirbished iBooks and how he was better than the competitors.

Becoming TheiBookGuy
Sometime in 2012, David changed the name of his channel from adric22 to TheiBookGuy. He did this because he was making more videos about Apple iBooks, and wanted a more fitting username, and YouTube did not support changing of usernames until this point.

Becoming The 8-Bit Guy
In August 2015, he once again changed his username, this time to The 8-Bit Guy, which is what it still is now. He did this because he hadn't made a video relating to iBooks for a few years at that point.

Working for YouTube full time
In January 2017, David announced that he would be quitting his office job and be working on YouTube full time. In February 2017, his final day at the office job came, and after that, he was officialy a full time YouTuber

Current State
Currently, he makes various videos relating to vintage electronics. He'll demostrate these products, modernize them, restore them to new condition, and varous other things. He has no set video making schedule, making videos whenever he can.
