There are those who are always on the cutting edge of technology.  Those who buy an iPhone or Android phone as soon as it comes out.  Or perhaps you are into tablets and e-readers.  What happens when 6 months from now a bigger, better item comes out on the market?  What do you do with that gadget you spent a couple hundred dollars or more on?  Well you might Cragslist it, give it to a kid or attempt to sell it somehow.    Read more >

There's a saying, 'Every Day I Learn Something New'.  This seems to be a theme in my life, especially at work.  Since I work at an electronics store there is always something new to learn.    Read more >

A few months ago when I sat down to plan my vacation to Florida the main things I was concerned about were the flights (being at times that worked for me and were not expensive), the hotel (to be safe and not far from where my friend lived), and saving money towards all the extra things ie. eating out and activities. Never once on my list of things to think about was anything to do with how many blog posts I'd miss out on reading right away, what Facebook status updates I'd be too busy to comment on, or what tweets I should send to let everyone know what I was up to.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm 32...wow that's so weird, I don't FEEL that old.

I enjoy traveling, especially to Northern Ireland, where I go nearly every summer for SummerMadness.  I tend to go on a lot of road trips, to see friends as well as to Chicago for fun and shopping.

I love to read...it's probably why I'm a member of Swaptree so that I can easily access more books!  I'm also really into music, mostly anything...I've  been going to a lot of shows in the past two years and have seen Andrew Bird, Wilco, Nels Cline Singers as well as Loney, Dear.  I don't listen to the radio usually, I'm pretty attached to my 80 gb iPod.  I'm also big into audio books and listening to Sound Opinions Podcasts which is all about current music.

I am pretty creative, I love photography and scrapbooking. I own a Canon Rebel SLR.  My favorite photography is to mess around with black/white film, I usually have more of that on hand then color.
