Hello everyone! My fullname is Ekkie Tepsupornchai and I am one of the latest to join PPCT as a Contributing Editor-in-Training. Yes, I know. That last name is a mouthful :| , but it's actually not as difficult as it looks. It rhymes with <i>tech-support guy</i> (and yes, my friends &amp; co-workers do enjoy calling me that due to my Gadget-Freaky-nature :wink:). Those of you who spend time out at the forums may recognize me simply as <b>ekkie</b>. Consider me one of the few contributing editors here that didn't have a fancy, schmancy original-name like <b>BigDaddyJ</b>, <b>DJ Apod</b>, <b>Surgical Snack</b> or <b>PDA Gerbil</b> (I'm thinking of making a comic-book movie with those kinds of characters)!! :P<br /><br />Anyway, I live in Los Angeles, California. I'm quite close to Hollywood, so when I'm not hiding in the bushes trying to get the latest scoop on Brad &amp; Jen, I'm usually trotting around the globe working as a Business &amp; IT Consultant. Ever since I was introduced to an Apple IIe at the age of 12, I was hooked. Nowadays I love all things mobile and wireless (current gadgets include the HP hx4700 and the SE k700i). When not enjoying the nirvana of gadget-freakery, I'll partake in other activities which include movies, music, sports, exercise, and billiards.<br /><br />I am ecstatic to be a part of the team. I've always felt PPCT was the best site in the world for PPC/WM-related news &amp; updates and was led by some of the most dedicated technology enthusiasts in existence. So when I'm not dropping posts, look for me out on the boards. I do enjoy helping those in need of advice as do so many members of our fabulous PPCT community! :D

You know Jonathon, if I can live up to be half the Gerbil that you are, I'll feel quite accomplished!! :D

Not Bragg Creek?

Maybe some of the Calgary folk would be willing to hide out in a bush to spy on them there. ;)

Oh, and velkommín!

Is that a trademarked name? ;) I've seen that used numerous times. Here I thought it was Thoughts Media, Inc.! :lol:

Well looking at your current location (which says "Canada - now Celine Dion free"), I don't deal with folks who drive out Celine Dion into my favorite playground! :|

Oh, and velkommín!
I assume that means welcome? Thanks! :D

opps, me bad. It's a typo. I meant inc, honestly I did. Jason has no plans for world domination. None! :worried: Nothing to see here...

Ha!

Jason's ears must be BURNING!!!

I hadn't responded to your original post b/c I wasn't sure what to make of being part of an "Empire"! ;)

Thanks Darius / Jeff... great to be here!

Jeff, who would have thought after our last conversation so long ago that we'd be here now? ;)
