Hey there, my name is Nate Boateng (pronounced bwä-ten). I’ve been a technology geek as long as I can remember. I’m married to a wonderful woman, have two sons, and a slew of pets, and live in eastern Pennsylvania. I have an overly strong addiction to coffee{: data-link-type=”external” target=”_blank”} and love writing when I’m not working my full-time job. My passions include gadgets, apps, media and how we use them to connect with each other. There are three important things to note about this site: I am not a professional writer. I have an opinion. I do this for fun.

I’m beginning to realize I don’t hate Fb because of Fb, but because the people on it don’t know what Photoshop is. [http://t.co/BaqLQDM5QQ][5]{: rel=”nofollow”}

The Site:

The site is built on the awesome Squarespace 6, and fonts are served thanks to Typekit.

My computer is a mid 2011 13” MacBook Air (1.7 i5). On the go, I use an iPhone 5 and a Canon EOS T1i. Articles and links are written in Markdown (shocker), using a mish-mash of apps on Mac and iOS.
