1. Background: I'm a 5th year electrical engineering student from the University of Tennessee.
2. I love gadgets. Currently on my night stand there are 5 different smart phones that I interchange on a random basis. I love the fact that I never have to have a full fledged computer around to keep up on news and communicate with my friends
3. I'm very opinionated. I will rant, constantly. It WILL piss you off at least once. Deal with it.
4. I hate Blackberries
5. I HATE Blackberries
6. I don't drink the Google Kool-Aid. I don't like the fact that one company knows who my friends are, what sites I visit, can read my email, has access to my call history, controls access to my documents, can see my calendar, and knows where I live. I separate my information across several providers.
7. I DO drink the Microsoft Kool-Aid. I like Bing. Windows Mobile is tops. Xbox 360 is amazing. I use Hotmail. I love using Office and Outlook. Windows 7 cured me of Mac Envy. I haven't tried a Zune but only because the Zune store has not integrated itself with Windows Mobile or Xbox Live. Seriously, Microsoft, if you could blend all of your services together across multiple platforms, you could kill Apple. I should be able to see who's on Xbox Live from my Windows Mobile phone and play tracks from my Zune over Wifi on my Xbox 360.
8. I drive fast. If you're going slower than 80 in the left hand lane, I will ride your tail. I will cut you off, I will flip you the bird. Get out of my way, seriously.
9. I enjoy the finer things. I like a good scotch, expensive cigarettes, expensive phones, expensive hotels. Yet there's always a soft spot in my heart for bargain brand beer.
10. I will do anything for a good time. I self medicate but only because my ADD is so bad, I have to do something to keep my mind from racing at 120 MPH.
Look forward to some of my future posts as I will be doing some recurring mini-columns. Each week I will post at least one if not many mobile tech posts titled This Week in Mobile. Once a week I will also try to do an editorial piece about something that's pissing me off in Technology. I also hope to do some app and software reviews for both mobile platforms, and desktop platforms dealing with mobile technologies.

I do have to ask, why do you hate blackberries?
2ndly, people who aren't passing someone shouldn't be in the cursed fast lane. It's actually a law though I get the feeling no one knows that.
And lastly, while I don't share your Microsoft Kool-Aid, if they'd kill Apple I'd be supremely happy with them.
