Hello everyone, figured I'd finally get around to posting some stuff. I've technically been a member for about two years, but I've mostly been a lurker. I've decided that its about time I become a little more active.
If anyones interested, here's a little of my backstory:
I got into mobile tech out of necessity. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic by trade, and, more importantly, a husband and father of two. Between job and family, I'm constantly on the go. I'm big time ADD, and constant juggling of schedules and such led to me adopting a "peripheral brain", a Palm PDA. As phones and PDA's began to merge, I became a heavy user of the Treo, and thus a heavy poster over at the Treonauts forums. I made lots of friends there, and was even lucky enough to become one of the lead forum admins, not that I'm looking for that here. (I have a few friends from there that help out here in the background, and they've convinced me to come on over.) I became an iPhone user on launch day for the 3G, and I haven't looked back. Now the whole house is Apple. iPhones, iPads, Apple TV's and MacBooks all around. Just over a year ago I decided that I was tired of having good ideas, but not being able to do anything about them, so I decided I'd start learning to code. A friend was nice enough to pass along a pile of gently used Objective-C books, and my latest obsession began. Now, when I'm not working or hanging with the family, I code. Its a labor of love, with very little return, but its fun to see something you create get used (or, sometimes, assaulted) by other people.
So, anyways, thats me in a slightly wordy nutshell. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here!
