About me

Hi, I'm Paul, a technophile from the United States. I love to learn all about tech, play with my tech, and have way too much technology. In my spare time I dabble in graphic design and I am a hobbyist full-stack designer

Beyond my love of everything tech, in terms of my professional life, I have found fulfillment in the aluminum can manufacturing industry. It is a career that I truly enjoy and find rewarding. Additionally, I am proud to say that I am a recovering addict, demonstrating my strength and determination in overcoming challenges. Through my experiences and interests, I continue to grow and strive for personal and professional success. Anchor

The Musings of an ADHD Tech Geek Blog

"The Musings of an ADHD Tech Geek" is my blog. It is not based on any one theme or topic. Instead, it is an area where I can dump news, thoughts, opinions, and even rants about whatever. Hey, we all need an outlet to vent right? So this is my outlet to vent. I promise though, that I will try to keep any rants to a minimum for the sake of everyone's sanity!
