Bio Page
I am sure by some of the things I allude to you can surely see that I am no sprig chicken. I am a 40 year old male. I live in St. Louis, Missouri and have lived here most of my life.
I have been obsessed with technology since I was a kid. I used to hang out at the computer store and input code to write games on a commodore 64, I was probably 10 yrs old. I of course had an Atari 2600, which I purchased new in probably 1978. I have not had every game system but I have had many, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo Sega Genesis, PlayStation, PS2, Xbox (modded) and PS3.
I bought my first computer in 1993. It was an HP desktop, which had less processing power than my iPhone. I was first online with CompuServe and then Prodigy. My download speed was around 14.5k. extremely paltry considering I run today at 10mb (not the fastest but that is what I am willing to pay for).
I have owned lots of tech stuff since then. Things like the sharp wizard, Palm Pilot and more laptops and cell phones than I can count. I figured out how to text on phones in 1999 on my Nokia 8210, back when texting was free.
Today I rock things like: iPhone (75 apps), DirecTV TiVo, PS3, Netflix Roku box, Linksys wireless router, Desktop, 3 Wireless Laptop, 42″ flat panel just to name a few.
I currently hold down a full time job that I have been on for 15 years and it has absolutely nothing to do with technology, I own an insurance agency! How boring does that sound. Well I love it and I love being my own boss. It allows me to do things like write for my blog whenever I want.
My point to all of this, I am into this stuff! I have been into it my whole life. My goal is to stay on top of thisstuff, which I always have, and communicate what I know and learn daily with you.
Hopefully this tells you a little bit about me and gives me a little credibility. I didn’t start researching this stuff a months ago, I started 30 years ago.
I hope you enjoy the blog, thanks for all your support. Please tell your friends.
