When faced with the inevitable question, “What do you want for Christmas?” tech geeks typically don’t have a hard time listing out all the toys we want. The great thing about any hobby is that there’s always something new and exciting around the corner to get your heart pumping and the butterflies in your stomach flying. Technology as a hobby most certainly can be an expensive addiction, but there is always something new on the horizon (and more than likely one or two knock off brands that fit within your budget). So tech geeks – when the “What do you want for Christmas?” question is staring you in the face, what do you answer with? I’ll start with my list.

1. MacBook Pro – 15-inch – So I can create killer websites, videos, and all sorts of multimedia. While I do love my Dell notebook, I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon and become a Mac. (My PC will always hold a special place in my heart though.)
2. Bamboo Fun (Wacom product) – So I can create better graphics and digital drawings. I want the flexibility of my wrist for certain angles that you can’t get with a mouse.
3. Laptop Sleeve – Why? My briefcase doesn’t feel protective enough, plus they have so many jazzy looking sleeves for the fashion-forward tech geek.
4. Microsoft – Arc Laser Mouse – So I can easily fold it up and stick it in my bag for safe transport to a client meeting. It’s much more portable than my current mouse and this one is sort of a novelty.

In all honesty, my list could go on and on and as you can see – none of these things are cheap! So what is Santa to bringing you this Christmas?

We all have a technology toolkit—our “go-to” items, software, or websites that feed our inner geek. For those that don’t believe they have an inner geek: Do you find yourself feeling claustrophobic if you don’t check Twitter 5 times a day? Do you feel naked if you accidentally leave your mobile phone at home (and does it cause you to go back and get it)? These are things that you rely on every day, and yes they feed your inner geek. Here’s a little peak into my technology toolkit and what about the tools make them my “go-to” items. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to Fresh Squeezed Tech – the place to read about new and old technology with a fresh spin on it.

Every day new technologies arrive into society. Some sweep the nation and become overnight phenomenons (such as iPhones), while some prove to be less significant to the general public. Whatever the impact, I will bring these technologies to you so you can learn more and become a tech geek just like myself. Technology has always been a passion of mine and I can’t wait to share it with you.
