Welcome to NerveStorm!

This Blog is a running litany of things done right (+), that I have found and happily use on a regular basis. I an a self confessed technology fan, but I have a healthy dose of skepticism about much of what is hoisted on the consumer. My hope is that this blog will become a resource of current trends in products, and technology that I will use to highlight the best of what is available, how I use it, and why it is a good stylish product. In many ways this will be about what works well and why. I'll Categorize each entry as 1. Done Well (+), 2. Done Poorly (-), and 3. Ideas, or things I'd like to see (?).

I came of age with the computer. I met Bill Gates ad Paul Allen in Ed Roberts Garage when I was 12. If you don't know these guys, get on wikipedia and look'em up. Ed Roberts is arguably the father of the modern personal computer, as the inventor of the MITS Altair 8800. My father wrote the assembler for that early computer by creating a simulator for the Intel 8080 processor that it used. I learned binary numbers, toggling in the boot loader on serial number 1 of the ALTAIR 8800. I learned to program there and in High School on a time shared terminal attached to a DEC PDP 11 computer residing at San bernardino Valley Colege.

My first computer was a Comodore 64, with an Okimate 10 color printer, I sold it form more than it cost me to buy an Intel 80286 based computer that I built. It had 640k memory, and amber screen with a hercules video card, and at 60 mb RLL winchester hard drive. (Smokin!) My first printer was an HP deskjet (the original model, very slow, but laser quality!)

I have a Bachelors Degree in Art, and a Masters of Business Administration, with an emphasis in Information management systems. I have been in and around technology for all of my adult life and most of my youth starting before middle school thanks to my dads interest, initiative and inspiration.

Today I use mostly Apple products for content creation. I use Nikon cameras for photography, and both a Mac Book Pro, and an iPad to create the NerveStorm Blog. If you wish to contact me, use the contact page or email here: Suggestions@nervestorm.com
