Hi. My name’s Steven. Thanks for visiting my (very) little corner of the Internet!
Here, you’ll learn a little about me, how the site works, and how to get in touch.
ABOUT ME
I’m a 30-year-old geek who calls the East Bay Area home. I enjoy technology, sports, music, food & cooking, and classic film, among other things. My political ideologies are decidedly left-leaning, I’m not well-traveled, and I hate cilantro with the fire of a thousand suns. I’m fluent in American Sign Language, not adverse to using semicolons. and somewhat of a white mocha connoisseur. I check Facebook and Twitter a lot. I’m a part-time college student and a cat person. I like anchovies, podcasts, and sleeping in.
Writing for this site is NOT my full time job, although it’d be cool if it were. What pays the bills is my gig with one of my local school districts, where I’m a classroom aide to preschoolers with special needs. I love it, so much so that I’ve spent a great deal of the last several years plugging away at my AA in Early Childhood Studies. I eventually want to earn my BA in Child/Human Development, and expand my contribution to the lives of young children and their families. (Preferably in Special Ed.)
ABOUT THE SITE
The blog was created in February 2010 via WordPress.com. It’s gone through a name change, several themes, and doesn’t generate a whole lot of traffic. This is the place where I write and share. Content-wise, while this site is no doubt inspired by the great many writers I read, what’s written here isn’t all about Apple and related geekery. I make concerted efforts to delimit myself from just focusing my postings on a single topic, no matter how much I might enjoy it. (Because the truth is, i do have other interests.) As such, there are two types of posts: articles and link posts. Articles are my longer pieces on assorted topics. Link posts are links to articles (with pull quote) from various places around the Web. Usually, I’ll find these linked to by someone else, so proper attribution will always be given at the bottom of the post.

TECHNICAL DETAILS
My main machine is a Late 2008 aluminum unibody 13-inch MacBook running the latest version of Lion. Posts are written in Markdown using Byword, and published using MarsEdit. The fonts used on this site are: Ronnia Condensed (title and headings) and Proxima Nova (body text). Most of the sites I keep up with use Media Temple to host, but I’m perfectly content with letting WP.com do that for me.
