About:
Born and raised in the Home and Native Land, Keith is a happily married geek with a background in windows and web development who’s been expanding his online presence through the use of social media and his Mac for the past couple of years.
A relatively active blogger since 2006 (though that was the third attempt) Keith writes mainly about technology and science stories with a dose of NHL hockey and the Vancouver Canucks thrown in for good measure.
He joined the motley crew of “The Geek” in the summer of 2007. After offering to send Dave an article to help with some Mac coverage Keith suddenly found a desire to share his opinions with the world and found a spot as a regular co-host.
When not blogging and podcasting, Keith spends some time on his other geeky projects. Among them are a desire to learn how to use his DSLR Camera, experimenting with Ubuntu linux home server and maintaining a couple of different WordPress plugins.
When his wife can pry him away from the computer, the two enjoy travelling and exploring other countries, cultures and cuisines.
