Tech

I AM A TOTAL TECH GEEK

I have ADD that runs rampant and I learn best from hands-on experience.  I read a bunch of magazines and subscribe to Wired, Fast Company, Dub, Urb, Kid Robot, MacWorld, Dwell, *Wallpaper and more. In addition to several news outlets I read blogs like Engadget, Gizmodo, Gawker, TechCrunch and a ton more.

I am pretty freakin' techie guy. Our family got our first computer, an Apple II+, when i was in 4th grade when monitors were black and green or amber. I have built dozens of PCs. I am typically the goto guy and way more than often than not, an early adopter.

I am a gadget addict and usually lug around my MacBook Pro, several digital cameras, iPad, Android phone, iPod Touch and other assorted goodies.

I am equally comfortable on Windows and Mac OS platforms and have experience with Cloud OS (Jolicloud, Chrome OS). What good is knowledge unless put to use? My career has revolved around creative arts, namely music, design and fashion for two decades and technology greatly helps me complete my projects and goals.

I totally get Content Collaboration and working in the cloud and have implemented both into my current work habits.

I put Pro Apps to the test, using Adobe's Illustrator and Photoshop since version 88 in the early 90s. And I have been bringing the noise - sequencing music since Opcode Studio Vision. I now use Presonus Studio One Pro, Digidesign Pro Tools, and Apple's Logic Studio (loyal user since it still belonged to eMagic).
