I am new to the blogosphere, and all this but I am a big techno freak to the point that I have dubbed myself Robbie The Geek. So this is where I will talk about all the goodness that I find interesting within the various technology areas in my life. A little info on me: 30 year old, recently married, chubby technophile who makes a living as a Citrix Administrator and needle-in-a-haystack problem solver for the city of NY. My wife is a full time theater student here in NJ, you may not be aware but that means she is on-campus from 9am-10pm on the regular.
I was lucky enough to go to Digital Life at the Javits in New York City for 2 of the 3 days. On the first day of the convention I ran into Robert Heron. He was nice enough to stand around while a friend and I got a few photos and talked a little bit about all the projects he has in the cooker Digital Life TV, This Week In Tech, and PC Mag's HDTV specialist. Over the next 2 days we stopped by the PC Magazine / Ziff Davis Village and chat with Robert about High Definition TV's and all kinds of technology.
Wow I have spent hours of fun getting new domain names, but luckily I can now say that RobbieTheGeek.com, RobbieTheGeek.net, & RobbieTheGeek.org all are owned by yours truly and pointing to this very blog you are reading :) . All I can say is it is pretty painless when you can go to GoDaddy.com and less then 2 hours later you have the domain names being forwarded to a completely different spot on the net.
For those of you that don't know what Digg.com is here is a little crash course in digging.
