Hello From the New Kid On the Digital Home Thoughts Block!
Hello Digital Home Thoughts Readers! Sorry if you were expecting Jordan, Jonathan, Joey, Donnie, or Danny (I honestly didn't know the New Kids On The Block members by heart, thanks Wikipedia!). You're stuck with me, Tim Williamson (formerly known as T-Will in the forums). I'm the newest member of the Digital Home Thoughts news team (although, I've been around as a reader for a few years) and will be helping out as a Contributing Editor. I work as a business analyst, but my main interests outside of work have always been computers, gadgets, photography, and music.
I became hooked on computers in kindergarten when my parents brought home our first PC, an IBM XT PC (they paid about $3000 for it back in the mid-80's!). I spent hours playing Microsoft Flight Sim 2.0 and a math game where the equations fell from the top of the screen [Editor's Note: I think that's Math Blaster], and you'd have to type the correct answer before they hit the bottom.
Electronic gadgets have always fascinated me; I remember I always wanted a PADD from Star Trek. This is one technology that has been snatched from the TV and into real life with the numerous PDA's and smartphones available today (currently I'm a happy T-Mobile Dash owner).
Believe it or not, when I was a kid I actually used to own a film camera, I even went to a photography camp for a week where we shot black and white and even developed the film ourselves! Recently I've been putting my Canon 10D DSLR and Canon SD870IS P&S through the paces.
Playing music and listening to music are also important to me. I play piano, organ, saxophone, and kazoo. When it comes to listening to music, I have a wide musical taste. Lately I've been listening to a lot of techno (gets me through the work day), but I also enjoy jazz, country, Christian contemporary, classic rock, classical, and any other good music. I hope you'll enjoy reading my posts as much as I've enjoyed being a reader of Digital Home Thoughts!
