What words would you use to describe yourself, your interests, your favorites?

Journalism, SEO, social networking, social media, Twitter, Facebook, blogging, news, iPhone

How has technology influenced... or changed your life?

It's allowed me to meet a lot of people who I probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet otherwise. Most of the people I've met have been work/business connections (I'm with a news/publishing company) and I've been able to work with those people outside of my job to help improve my company.

Where did you first hear about Gnomedex?

My boss (@sethlong)

How many Gnomedexes have you attended, which was your favorite, and why?

My first one was last year, but I loved it. Scott Maxwell (the Mars Rover team leader) gave one of the most inspirational speeches I've ever seen.

Why did you decide to attend Gnomedex this year? What kind of people are you hoping to meet at Gnomedex this year?

I'm more tech-savvy this year than I was last year, so I couldn't miss it. I'd obviously like to meet anyone in the news/journalism industry who's using social media to deliver news.

Where Can people find you on the Web? [Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Blog, etc.]

How many computers do you own, and what is your favorite piece of technology?

Technically I only own one computer (a Mac Mini), but I also rock an iPhone (favorite!) and I use a Macbook Pro (15" widescreen) for work.

Do you influence tech decisions made in your community or company?

Yeah, I contribute.
