I&#8217;m a little late to the blogging and social media game. It all took off so fast it was hard to break through the clutter of a &#8220;me too&#8221; culture that had everyone and their brother setting up a blog to ramble about things I don&#8217;t care about. It was hard to find value in any of it. I didn&#8217;t want to be a &#8220;me too&#8221; blogger and wasn&#8217;t sure how I could add to the conversation in a meaningful way.</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;ve got a guy&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>As my experience as a developer grew I realized that <em>I do have something to say</em>. Everyone wants to know what &#8220;the tech guy&#8221; knows but doesn&#8217;t necessarily have an interest in learning the details in-depth. They &#8220;just want it to work&#8221;. I get that. I don&#8217;t have a degree in computer science and I am almost entirely self-taught when it comes to technology; because it interests me, not because it&#8217;s my job or I had to learn it in school. So my goal is to explain various aspects of technology in a plain-english, easy-to-digest way for people who &#8220;just want it to work&#8221;.</p>
<p>Some people love technology. Some despise it. Whether we like it or not we are forced to use technology every day in our lives and in our jobs. Being a &#8220;tech geek&#8221; myself all my friends know me as someone who can help them with their various tech problems. So now, through this blog and just like my friends, <em>you&#8217;ve got a guy</em> that will try to help you with your tech problems.</p>
