Biography
Indefinite Lumia Personality of the Year. All puns are intended. Lover of all things technology, but also pizza and French fries.
I love to talk about and listen to others talk about technology. I like to hear people's opinions, especially when they're different from mine. It's fascinating to me why people do or don't use certain technologies and what they do or don't care about.
