Location
Where I Live and Work Born, raised and still living in Brooklyn, NY. I work from home and all over the city.
When I’m Not Working I’m Into
Going to as many live concerts as I can, reading, biking, watching Netflix, and playing Magic: The Gathering and board games with my roommates.
Tech Arsenal
Computer of Choice: I just traded my beat-up 5-year-old 15-inch MacBook Pro for a new 13-inch Pro.
Mobile Phone of Choice: iPhone 4S for now…
Gaming System of Choice: Xbox 360 and Wii (really whatever I can get my hands on). Waiting until the new Super Smash Bros. game comes out before I even think about buying a Wii U.
Other Favorite Gadgets: Portable iPhone/iPod speakers, Roku, my dad’s iPad, my iPod Classic jam-packed with 10,000 songs.
Random Tech Top 5 (iPhone apps I can’t live without): Readability, Vine, Instagram, Rayman Run, Flashlight.
Gadgets I’m Lusting After: Nexus 7, Galaxy Note 2, iPhone 5, iOS 7 (I know it’s software and not a gadget but with Jony Ive in charge I have a feeling it’ll be great).
Surfing the Interwebs
Favorite Websites: Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Gawker, NYTimes, recovering BuzzFeed addict.
Web Sites I Don’t Understand: Drudge Report.
History
What I Did Before TechnoBuffalo: Basically the same thing I’ll be doing here but for IBT Media. Before that I was Editor-in-Chief of the Wesleyan University student newspaper and freelancing where I could.
Worst Job Ever: Food prep at a local cafe; I sliced myself cutting open an avocado and my boss started yelling at me for bleeding on the floor.
Best Job Ever (Besides this One): Freelancing for goparis.about.com while I was living in France post-college. I got paid to review wine bars, restaurants and museum exhibitions.
Mystery
Random Things You Don’t Know About Me: I double majored in English and French Literature in college. I’m not just a tech geek; me and my roommates host a Magic: The Gathering draft every Sunday at our apartment. I cook a mean fried rice (my Filipino college roommate taught me how).
